How can I start coding in Python side by side when I'm going through the course mentioned here and which book I should follow?

Question

Also, can somebody tell me any website where I can get exercises?

Answer 1

Exercises: Project Euler (I think, it was projecteuler.net)

I think, for basics, these courses are perfect, and then you can choose some great project to work on your own and with libraries.

Answer 2

If you are a beginner in programming, I recommend you the book:
Think Python by Allen Downey

http://greenteapress.com/wp/think-python/

I think it teaches Python quite well with lots of exercises, examples and projects and you will learn also a lot about programming itself.

Answer 3

Thanks @Arthur & @Amarie... I will check the links mentioned.
