Description

Updated in November 2018 to include SQL + Python!

Welcome to the Modern Python 3 Bootcamp!  I've launched my fair share of Udemy courses, but I've never done anything quite this crazy.

This course is a unique experience on Udemy. There are dozens of existing Python courses you can choose from, but this course is the only one that has nearly 200 interactive challenges you can complete right here in your browser. I didn't just tack on a couple of exercises at the end; this course is fully built around the coding exercises.   This course is all about getting you writing code ASAP, rather than sitting back watching a bunch of videos.  

In development, I referred to this course as a hybrid between a typical Udemy course and an interactive Codecademy-style course.  You get over 25 hours of in-depth videos and my dumb jokes along with meticulously created exercises and quizzes to test your knowledge as you go.

Many of the older Python courses still focus on Python 2.  This course is all about writing the most modern, up-to-date Python code, so Python 3 was the obvious choice.  The course covers all the latest additions and changes to the Python language.  The course also places a large emphasis on thinking like a Python developer, and writing code the "Pythonic" way.

As for the curriculum, This course teaches all the key topics covered by other Python courses, but also covers more advanced topics like web scraping, crawling, and testing, just to name a few.  Please feel free to explore the curriculum and watch some of the free preview videos!

Python is consistently ranked in either first or second place as the most in-demand programming languages across the job market.  It has applications in data science, machine learning, web development, self-driving cars, automation, and many many other disciplines.  There has never been a better time to learn it!

I'm spent years teaching people to program at in-person bootcamps in the San Francisco Bay Area.  In recent years, I've started bringing my methods from the classroom to the online world. In my first year teaching online, I was selected as the Best Newcomer Instructor in the Udemy Instructor Awards 2015.  I'm passionate about making the best possible online learning experiences that mirror my in-person courses.

If you want to take ONE COURSE to master Python take this course.

Who this course is for:

  • Anyone who wants to learn Python.
  • Anyone who is curious about data science, machine learning, or web development
  • Anyone who wants to get tons of practice with the interactive exercises.

Awesome course !! Really really loved it !! Colt teaches with passion and patience, course structure is easy to learn and interesting. I used to have no prior knowledge of coding, but this Python course has really sparked my interest in Computer Science and Data Learning, allowing me to explore different possibilities and career choices. Thanks Colt ! :))

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.
