At the same time as the lessons, we recommend this quick overview of basic Python features that also covers general programming themes. The overview also presents, briefly, a few more advanced capabilities that are widely used with scientific and engineering data.

Go to Quickstart: Zero to Python — Pythia Foundations. There, click on the “Launch kernel” icon Pythia launch kernel below the page title, to the right, to run the steps live, online! It will launch a Jupyter notebook on JupyterLab, online. This open-source overview will serve also as an initial exposure to JupyterLab and Jupyter notebooks. It is provided by Project Pythia.

https://learnpython.org can nicely complement the Project Pythia Quickstart. It is a compact introduction featuring online interactive coding, organized by Python feature.
