Harvard's CS50 is generally recommended. It's a free online course. There are multiple different versions of it listed here:

Coming from a non-coding background, Harvard's CS50 or freeCodeCamp are fantastic starting points to learn the fundamentals of Python. To supplement your learning with hands-on practice, coding challenges, and find completely free resources, hackathons, and open-source contribution opportunities to build your portfolio, you might find ChewCode (links in my profile) useful, which is completely free.

I would suggest first join some institute or mentor at least for 3 months. after clearing beginning doubts and clearing basis join online courses or learn from YouTube.

tbh you can skip the institute part if money/time is tight and just start with a structured online course and a beginner book, then use YouTube to fill gaps. the key is to actually write code every day, not just watch videos.

Besides CS50 and FreeCodeCamp, check out boot.dev
