Description

Learn to code in this beginner hands-on Python programming course. This course is designed to give you a comprehensive understanding of Python programming fundamentals and get you coding on your own. If you're new to programming and ready to immerse yourself, this is the course for you.

During the course, we'll cover built-in data types and their behavior, and control flow statements, the programming essentials used across many languages. We'll also show you how to professionally structure your programs and solve real-world challenges by creating objects in object-oriented programming. In addition to covering these core programming concepts, we'll also discuss the most common coding interview questions and demonstrate the best programming practices used by professionals.

Throughout this course, you'll practice these new skills by working on programming exercises with instructor guidance. By the end of this course, you'll have a portfolio of projects and code samples on GitHub to show to employers.

What You’ll Learn:

Learn how to operate using a text editor and terminal.
Learn how to write your own Python code that will be able to iterate over data sets.
Understand how to think like a programmer and become comfortable with Python’s syntax.
Create code to solve everyday real-life problems.
Learn how to write complex programs using Python.
Learn how computers execute programs.

I started learning python on an online platform almost a year ago and felt that I had completely players like plateaued. I loved the Python immersive course and was able to learn much more in a week than I had on my own over the span of around 8 months. I now I feel fully confident in my ability to continue my python learning independently and I know where to turn when I'm ready to enroll in my next programming course.

This class had a great pace, good detail, and gave very practical and usable knowledge and skill. The instructor,Tim was attentive to all in the class and provided the curriculum to the class at the right pace. I plan to take the next level of this course and the machine learning class too. Ed F

The instructor had a tough time juggling between the 3 students as we all had varying degrees of difficulty with the content.

Really enjoyed the class. Tim was knowledgeable and courteous. There is obviously a need to keep working on the concepts introduced to solidify your understanding, but that’s on you.

Tim did an excellent job facilitating the class. Material was at a comfortable pace and easily digestible with meaningful learning reinforcements and assignments. Would take another class from this institution.

This class was taught by instructors Tim and Art, both of whom were extremely knowledgeable and tremendously helpful. The small class size made the hands-on learning very effective. It is a tough course that is very extensive, but I learned a lot! With no prior coding experience this was the best introduction to Python I could expect. 5 of 5!

This was by far the most informative and well taught python class I've taken. Both Art and Tim went out of their way to make sure that everyone understood the material and took the time to adress any and all questions. I would reccomend this course to annyone who needs to understand python who may have little previous experience with it. Definitely the best value of any programming language courseI have ever taken.

Great class! We covered a lot of material in a short amount of time. The challenges were fun, and I enjoyed working on them as a team with other classmates. I think the class would be even better if, in the morning, we went over all the solutions to the exercises from the night before. Because even if I didn't get to work on them at home, I can still benefit to see how they are solved. Since I have JavaScript programming background, it was easier for me to understand the concepts even though Art went over them kind of fast. Some other students had a harder time, but assistant teacher, Tim, would explain the concepts in a different way which helped. The class description should probably be updated since we didn't cover these topics: • Python's datetime module • Regular expressions • Writing to a File • Appending to a File • Selection sort • Merge sort (this we went over only because we had extra time) Overall, I had a great experience and would recommend it to anyone who is starting to learn Python!
