Description
Don't waste your time with 60+ hour behemoth courses that you never finish! Instead, try this quick and effective pathway to Python that was designed with your sanity in mind. This course is the p1erfect first step into the world of data science, web dev, machine learning, or any other discipline that requires Python knowledge.
As an-person coding bootcamp instructor, I created this course to keep you engaged the entire way through. It's full of exercises, quizzes, challenges, and projects. The slides, diagrams, and cheatsheets were painstakingly designed to help you visualize the tricky concepts. There are no 20-minute monster videos in this course; the average video is only 4 minutes long. Everything about this course has been designed to make it actually completable!
This course covers all the Python essentials you need: everything from variables to data structures to object oriented programming and modules. You’ll fill up your Python toolbox so you can go on and tackle libraries like pandas, flask, scikitlearn, django, and more.
What this course is not: This course is not a complete guide to every single possible feature in the Python language. It focuses on the 80% that is absolutely critical and worth your time, but there are other (much longer) courses that are more akin to Python textbooks that take the time to cover every feature. In fact, I created one of those courses, and it happens to be 40 hours long!
As someone who has both created and purchased massive Udemy mega bootcamp courses, I know they are still the standard format on the platform, but maybe it’s time for something a bit more human and engaging. I thought it was worth a try at least.
Here's a detailed breakdown of what we cover:
Painless installation for all platforms and users
Working with numbers
Python variables
Strings and string methods
Booleans
Conditional Logic
Boolean Logic
Loops
Functions
Scope
Lists
Dictionaries
Sets
Tuples
*args and **kwargs
Working with errors
Custom modules
3rd party modules
PIP
Object Oriented Programming
Classes
Who this course is for:
- Anyone who wants to learn Python in as little time as possible
- Busy people who can't spend months completing a Python course
- Anyone who plans on learning Data Science or Machine Learning but first needs a Python foundation

Hi! I'm Colt. I'm a developer with a serious love for teaching. I've spent the last few years teaching people to program at 2 different immersive bootcamps where I've helped hundreds of people become web developers and change their lives. My graduates work at companies like Google, Salesforce, and Square.
Most recently, I led Galvanize's SF's 6 month immersive program as Lead Instructor and Curriculum Director. After graduating from my class, 94% of my students went on to receive full-time developer roles. I also worked at Udacity as a Senior Course Developer on the web development team where I got to reach thousands of students daily.
I’ve since focused my time on bringing my classroom teaching experience to an online environment. In 2016 I launched my Web Developer Bootcamp course, which has since gone on to become one of the best selling and top rated courses on Udemy. I was also voted Udemy’s Best New Instructor of 2016.
I've spent years figuring out the "formula" to teaching technical skills in a classroom environment, and I'm really excited to finally share my expertise with you. I can confidently say that my online courses are without a doubt the most comprehensive ones on the market.
Join me on this crazy adventure!
