Consider using more up-to-date resources

[maneesha]

In the More Resources section of "Before We Start" we list Dive into Python 3 and
The Hitchhiker’s Guide to Python. These are both very outdated resources. Opening this issue to discuss and consider more current resources we can offer instructors and learners.

That is a great idea, thanks @maneesha! I can't think of good resources from the top of my head, but I'm hoping the community comes up with a few ideas.

Here are a couple of options:

https://automatetheboringstuff.com
https://www.py4e.com/book.php

I second the recommendation for https://automatetheboringstuff.com/.

This tutorial is pretty good: https://www.pythonforbeginners.com/python-tutorial

This is my favorite python youtuber: https://www.youtube.com/@coreyms

It might be worth dividing the recommendations into video-based and written word-based lessons.

@yondel33 Sadly, the pytonforbeginners tutorial looks outdated. (print is still a statement, and classes explicitely inherent from object.). Otherwise it does look like a good tutorial.
