Description

Python is one of the fastest growing programming languages. Everyone should know how to use Python. Even if you don't want to become a full-time computer programmer, Python can make you faster and more efficient at your job and even help improve your career prospects. Understanding Python can help you to solve complex problems that don't seem to have a solution outside of programming.

Learning programming can feel very intimidating at first. That's why this course is designed for beginners to get you familiar with programming in Python in a fun and accessible way. If you've never done any programming or even installed programming software on your computer, this is the course for you! Alex's explanations are simple and easy to follow. He doesn't use a lot of complex jargon like so many computer programming instructors do. He'll walk you through every step, so you can follow along and learn all of the concepts taught in the course.

As Alex will tell you in the course, once you have the basics of Python programming down, you can then go out on the internet and lookup other things that you want to code. You can learn as you go and program whatever you want, growing your skills every step of the way.

Here are just some of the things people do with Python:

  • Track the movement of stocks

  • Update you when a website changes

  • Create video games

  • Create websites

  • Do financial analysis

  • Supercharge your computer

So, if you're ready to change your life (and maybe even your career) with Python, then this is the course to get you started.

You have nothing to lose and everything to gain from jumping in and learning Python today!

Who this course is for:

  • Beginners who have never programmed before.
  • New Python users who haven't yet used or downloaded Python on their computer.
  • Anyone else who has tried programming before but found it too difficult. This course breaks it down into the very simplest basics of programming in Python.

Learning is easier with the right tools and instruction. In every one of my courses I take you step-by-step through the tools and knowledge you need to accomplish your goals. 

My talent is taking complex subjects (like Excel, Access and Photoshop) and making them simple to learn. I wasn't always good at technology. There was a time when I didn't even know how to correctly turn a computer on and off. But over the past 20 years I've dedicated myself to mastering technology. Now I'm proud to call myself a self-taught tech geek. 

I'm a geek who still speaks the language of normal human beings. I don't use a lot of jargon and fancy words that the average person doesn't understand.

I understand how frustrating it can be when the instructor goes too fast or leaves out critical steps in the learning process. That's why I make sure to clearly demonstrate each step for you visually, so you can follow along starting from the very beginning and going along until you've reached mastery.

I am here to guide you on your way to success. You can contact me at any step of the way for assistance. Let me know when you're struggling with a concept and I'll get right back to you to keep you moving in the right direction.

I'm always happy to help.  I believe in you, and I'm here to support you in your learning process.

Are you ready to take your skills to the next level? It all starts with knowledge, and my courses make that part easy.

Sign up for a course today and I'll help you reach the level of success you deserve. 

I'll see you in there!

The Portland Trailblazers are my favorite basketball team, I love to play tennis, and spend most of my free-time eating sushi.

I'm from Washington State where I grew up with an interest in computers, which has gotten me work in many different fields.

I received a congressional award from Jaime Herrera Beutler for programming android applications in a government-sponsored competition, and then took interest in programming stock-trading algorithms. I've been finishing my bachelors in Economics at BYU where I worked in the organic chemistry research labs for a year and half mixing chemicals and writing code to analyze Nuclear Magnetic Resonance readings of new pharmaceuticals.

I just applied to medical school and will continue studying and programming there.
