Description
Python is the chosen language to learn programming for obvious reasons:
Python is easy to master
It is easy to solve complex problems in an elegant manner
...and it is a used by many professionals in most professions
Python is the chosen language to master Sorting and Searching
It is easy to turn concepts into code.
There is no overhead in learning syntax to achieve performance.
You only need to master how to turn concepts into code - this course will cover that.
Why master Sorting and Searching?
The amount of data in the world increases and becomes more complex - mastering data efficient is key.
Naive searching algorithms are slow - today we are more impatient than ever.
It teaches you when to use pre-computations, like sorting, to solve problems faster.
How will you benefit from this course?
You will master the simples way to turn sorting algorithms into code.
When to which sorting algorithm - master the various advantages.
Understand how run-time is affected by the sorting.
How sorting uses extra space - some more effective than others.
When to sort before searching in your data.
Fully utilise binary search in your data.
If you want to become a good programmer you need to have some basic understanding of the underlying programming concepts. The more programming concepts you understand, the more problems you can solve in Python.
In this course we will cover some essential sorting and searching algorithms in an straight forward and easy to understand way. You will be learning along the way and implement the various sorting and searching algorithms to get an understanding of it.
This course covers the following.
Understand why Sorting and Searching are essential to understand in programming
Make simple and easy to understand implementations of simple sort, bubble sort, insertion sort and merge sort.
Learn how the simple search is implemented as well as the efficient binary search.
The course is structures in an easy understandable way.
Understand the sorting and searching algorithms
How to simplest turn that understanding of sorting algorithms into code.
Learn how to implement it yourself.
You code along.
At each step you make the implementation along with me.
You implement it on all stages to increase your understanding of the sorting and searching algorithms.
Basically, we learn along the way.
Who is this course for?
You have some used Python on any level.
You may be a beginner that want to programme as a professional.
...or you have been programming for years, but need to understand the basics better
You do understand the concepts of Python functions, lists, if, for and while-loops.
...that's all you need - still uncertain of your skills - check out the prerequisite lecture that takes you through the requirements.
The course has a 30 day money back guarantee that ensures if you are not satisfied, you will get your money back. Also, feel free to contact me directly if you have any questions.
Who this course is for:
- Beginner Python developer that wants to understand the simple theory behind sorting and searching
- Python developer that wants to increase knowledge about how to implement and solve general problems in Python

Hi, I'm Rune.
Thank you for checking my course.
With a PhD in Computer Science, an MBA to learn business administration and finance, 10+ years in professional software development, I still find my greatest passion in teaching.
I have helped students succeed with programming since I took my PhD in computer science and was teaching at Aarhus University, Denmark.
Since then, I was a software engineer (programmer), the head of branch of developers, build big software solutions, and software engineering manager in a software as a service (SaaS) company.
Along that journey, I took an MBA from Henley Business School in UK to learn about business administration and finance.
My journey on Udemy started in 2020 and the focus has been on Python programming, which is my greatest passion. I love to make concepts easy to understand and fun to learn.
Until now I have the Udemy Bestseller:
Master Modern Security and Cryptography by Coding in Python
I started to program as 12 years old before the internet was available for common people (read: for me).
It was Basic, yes the language Basic with line numbers.
My best friend started and we helped each other to get better. Before I reached college, I had helped many friends with programming.
It was natural for me to teach at college and I missed it when I left after teaching all the fundamental programming and computer theory courses at least once.
Later I have helped new employees to program, as well as other professionals to automate their work with Python.
I have helped a guy with no experience in programming to get his first job within 6 months of starting.
If anything, please feel free to reach out to me and I'll be there for you every step of the way.
Rune
