Check out some of the amazing reviews it's receiving:
From Ryan - "I've only had it for one day and it's been absolutely incredible. Wonderful instructor that does a terrific job of explaining complex topics. I'm not even a quarter of the way in and I already feel that I've gotten exponentially more than what I paid."
From Jason - "Great course, the instructor is clearly well-versed with Python programming and gives very clear instruction. I particularly found the algorithms and data structures section to be valuable. Strongly recommend this course, the best Python programming course I've taken by a significant margin."
From Rob - "As a software engineer that needs to get up to speed on some Python for a data-science project, this was perfect. It's in-depth where it needs to be, clear, and very well put together."
I will walk you step-by-step through the fascinating world of Python programming using visualizations of programs as they execute, algorithms as they run and data structures as they are constructed. Nothing is left to the imagination, we'll see it all and then build it all.
Since it caters to a broad spectrum of students, the course is split in two parts, part 1 focusing on the Python programming language and part 2 focusing on Algorithms, Data Structures, Performance Analysis and larger scale projects. Details below:
Part 1: Python and programming fundamentals
Text - Strings
Numbers - Ints and Floats
Execution flow control - Branching with if/elif/else
Compound data types - Lists, Dictionaries, Tuples, Sets
Iterables and Iteration with generators, for and while loops and more!
Functions, execution context and frames, building custom functions
List comprehension
Lambda expressions
Generators and creating your own generators with yield
Objects and building classes, methods, special methods
Reading from and writing to files using context managers
Projects
Visualization with each topic and more!
Part 2: Algorithms, Data Structures and Performance Analysis
Sorting algorithms (basic) - Bubble sort, Selection sort, Insertion sort
Sorting algorithms (advanced) - Merge sort, Quick sort
Big O notation, complexity analysis, divide and conquer, math visualizations
Recursion in-depth with examples
Searching algorithms - Bisection search, hashing
Data Structures with Linked lists, Stacks, Queues, Trees, Binary Search Trees
Operations with Data structures - insert, search, update, delete
Multiple projects with increasing level of complexity that tie the concepts together
Visualizations of every algorithm, data structure and operations and more!
So whether you are interested in learning the top programming language in the world in-depth
OR interested in learning the fundamental Algorithms, Data Structures and performance analysis that make up the core foundational skillset of every accomplished programmer/designer or software architect
OR you are looking to ace your next technical interview
OR all 3 above - This is the course for you!
And on top of that, it comes with a 30 day money back guarantee. If you are not satisfied in any way, you will not only get your money back but you also get to keep the free e-book and tons of downloadable practice exercises and code just for trying it out!
So what are you waiting for? Learn to code with Python while building projects and implementing algorithms and data structures, and gain a core competency in Computer Science that will advance your career and increase your knowledge in the most effective way!

Hi, I'm Mashrur, I'm a full-time programming instructor specializing in programming fundamentals, web application development, machine learning and cyber security. I have been a technology professional for over a decade and have degrees in Computer Science and Economics.
My niche is building comprehensive career focused technology courses for students entering new/complex and challenging fields in today's technology space. This is a nice segway for me, since my real passion is building and tinkering with programming languages. I love everything to do with development and learning about new tools and technologies. My favorite languages are Python and Ruby on Rails, and my favorite tech fields are web app development, machine learning and data-analytics (which is where Ruby on Rails and Python fall into place nicely). I encourage my students to focus on these technologies as well.
In my past (corporate) life, I worked with Enterprise Software Systems with roles played in analysis, development, management and training. I led projects using both agile and waterfall methodologies and thus am well versed in the inner workings of the software development and delivery world.
During my time in corporate America, I realized how much I enjoyed training new hires and new team members and helping them succeed. I dedicated a good amount of time over 7 years on-boarding new analysts and developers and then worked with them to build and maintain systems which put me in a unique position to know and understand what new entrants to a field need in order to succeed. I strongly believe in focusing on fundamentals and practice; and not in shortcuts or gimmicks.
So join me for my comprehensive career-focused technology courses as I guide you through the world of web application development, machine learning and cyber security using Python, Ruby on Rails, MySQL and others and bringing your ideas and passions to life.
