Learning resources

Below is my list of all the resources I have used for the last few years (free as well as paid) which I have found really useful in my development. I'll be adding to these resources over time so keep an eye out.

NTLK book

This book is free online and covers all the basics of covering Python as well as natural language processing - this gets tricky quickly, so I would recommend you have a pretty solid understanding of programming in Python before jumping into this book.

Best paid for resources for Python

I have tried using sites like Treehouse and Linda which have been OK, but always found it hard to apply what I learnt. However, with Coursera, there are a few courses which I think are great if you are just starting out. They are slightly more expensive (£35 - £40 per month) than the likes of Treehouse, Linda etc but in my opinion it's worth the extra money.

Python for everybody

This is a great introduction course to get you started on programming generally.
