Description
This Python course has everything you need to know to start coding in Python and not even that, by the end of the course, you will know how to build complete programs and also build graphical user interfaces for your programs so you can impress your employer or your friends. I will guide you step by step, starting from the basics and always assuming you don't have previous programming experience or a computer science degree. In fact, most people who learn Python come from a wide variety of careers.
This course is designed to teach you Python and give you a real feel of how to use Python in a real environment. You will get this real-world Python experience by gaining free access to a remote server where Python is already installed. You will write and run Python programs directly on that remote computer in an easy fashion by simply using your internet browser. This will also allow you to run Python programs 24/7 on that server and let the apps do interesting tasks while you sleep. That will make you understand Python's real power in a real server environment, and I will guide you through the entire process.
The course is ideal for those who haven't programmed before. It also works for experienced programmers who don't know Python because the course offers you a training package so dense with information and practical activities you will not need to look further.
Besides videos, you will also find a lot of Python exercises in the course. These are interactive exercises that you can solve directly on the Udemy exercise interface. The course also contains quizzes that will help you constantly check the knowledge you get during the videos. This variety of learning material will help you solidify your Python skills and give you a fun learning experience.
This course has all you need to get you started. After you take it, you will be ready to go to the next level of specializing in one of the Python fields, such as data science or web development. Python is one of the most needed skills nowadays. Sign up today!
Who this course is for:
- Those who don't know where to start with learning Python.
- Those who want to use Python regardless of the technology field they want to apply the language to.
- Those who need a complete guide on how to start and continue their career with Python.

Hi, I am Ardit! I am a Python programmer and teacher. I graduated in 2013 with a Master of Science in Geospatial Technologies from the University of Muenster in Germany.
I have worked with companies from various countries both as an employee and self-employed using Python together with companies such as the Center for Conservation Geography to map and understand Australian ecosystems, processing orthophotos with the Swiss in-Terra, and performing data mining to gain business insights with the Australian Rapid Intelligence. I am also the founder and author of PythonHow, a Python learning resource designed particularly for people with no previous programming experience.
If you are interested in Python, I would suggest the following roadmap to becoming a Python developer.
Start by first taking my course, The Python Mega Course: Build 10 Real World Applications, and then take my other course, The Advanced Python Course: Build 10 Professional Programs. Both courses are listed here on my profile page. Both courses are designed around learning Python by practice rather than rote memorization.
The mega course will guide you step by step, starting with Python basics and all the way to building real-world Python programs, including GUIs, web apps, web scrapers, mobile apps, etc. Once you complete that course, take the other one.
The advanced course will take you to a new professional level, teaching you Python from a deeper computer science perspective, covering programming logic, and giving you the skills for building complex, professional applications in an object-oriented programming (OOP) style. After you complete the second course, you can practice Python even further by remaking the 10 apps of the first mega course, but this time in OOP style. If you can manage to do that, you will be job-ready.
