There's an excellent statistical mechanics course on Coursera that goes through these steps: https://www.coursera.org/learn/statistical-mechanics

It uses python and had a mindblowing moment when I realized how the simulation I wrote connected to the world, making it one of the few I actually managed to finish. As you alluded to, the lecturers definitely hint that simpler code is easier to work with as the later stuff becomes impossibly complex with anything more.



Definitely a personal favorite for me to. Excelled introduction to MCMC methods, lots and lots of python programs and nicely filmed against a green screen.
