Description
Learn the world's most popular programming language by making games!
This course includes an incredibly comprehensive, yet easy to follow, introduction to Python and uses that knowledge to create 4 sophisticated games using pygame. By the time you finish these projects you will have a strong understanding of Python and of coding in general. You will also have amazing projects for your portfolio.
The course contains over 130 videos and includes a huge amount of exercises so you can practice while you code along. You can also find the code for every video attach in the course. The course will start completely from scratch and I will begin by installing Python on Windows or MacOS; or you can use an online code editor. If you are in doubt, the entire first 11 hours are freely available both here on Udemy and on YouTube.
This course is going to cover every topic of Python, for example:
All of the datatypes (integers, strings, floats, booleans, lists, tuples, dictionaries etc)
You will learn classes and object-oriented programming
Inheritance, both simple and complex will be covered in detail
You will learn how to control the flow of the code using if, while, for and match
You will learn about functions and how to pass information around
There are many sections on scope to keep your code organized
Decorators will be covered in depth
File handling will be used
Python is one of the most desirable features on the job market and can get you into well-paying and interesting jobs. It is also a very easy to learn language that you can use as a starting point in your coding career. I am looking forward to seeing you in the course!

Hello,
My name is Christian Koch and I am a teacher for a range of subjects, primarily Programming in python, economics and maths.
I finished my formal education in 2015 and achieved an MSc in Economic history from the London School in Economics. After that, I went pretty much immediately into teaching and taught at different Business colleges in London and ran lots of different courses that included data science, research methodologies, maths, Economics and history.
I have also worked on several motion graphics videos and recently developed the marketing material for the 'Universities against modern slavery alliance'.
All my courses use animations to explain concepts well and I'd like to think that I am quite good at explaining concepts. Check out my Youtube channel if you want to see how I teach.
