I want to learn Python, some people tell me that codeacademy is good, others tell me that it is shitty and say that https://learnpythonthehardway.org/book/ is better, could someone more experienced help me make the choice?

CodeAcademy is good for demonstrating you the basics.
If you want to build large projects, you ought to read a book on the topic.
For Python it's okay, I did it and it teaches you through repetition and a final test at each chapter. Some things you can solve multiple ways and they only let you solve it by doing it their way, so even though you may have done the task "right" they show it as wrong, so I guess it's bad in that way. But if you're completely new to Python I'd say go for it, it doesn't hurt.

Talking about codeacademy btw
I learned from web so here it goes
codecademy is perfect, its easily digested and introduces you to syntax and basic concepts
i have mostly seen shitting on the hardway, especially if you go beyond first few chapeters, dunno but people agree that at some point it ends up going pants on head retarded
along the codecademy start reading dive in to pyhon3
its very well written and goes in to core subjects

read this for more details on how its possible to get in to python

Code academy is good for learning the principles and basic is a pretty inviting way. Books can be pretty intimidating for a complete noob (I'm assuming you've never programmed at all)
Hit up codeacademy, get a good idea then move to a good book.
OP here,I know the basics of some languages like c#, PHP and HTML (if it makes any difference), which book would you suggest after i finish the courses?
