Our take
Based on the ratings of 60,733 students, a sample of their written reviews and the syllabus, as the course stood in August 2026. No course pays to be reviewed.
Andrei Neagoie's course takes someone with no programming background through Python basics, object oriented and functional programming, decorators, generators and testing. After that it moves into scripting, scraping, web development and machine learning. It runs about 31 hours across 346 lectures, and more than 237,000 students have enrolled. The career-field sections are short, with machine learning at about two hours. The course was last updated in August 2026.
Reviewers mostly praise the teaching. The words that come up again and again are clear, easy to follow and well explained. One student liked that it covers why Python behaves the way it does, not only what to type. The complaints are steady, though. Some say the material feels dated, and one reviewer points to uv as the package manager they would expect today. Another hit errors on a newer Python version. A few call it too high level if depth is the goal.
Most of the 60,733 ratings are four or five stars, and the average is 4.6. That fits what the reviews describe: a friendly, practical first course that gives a taste of several areas before a student picks one. Treat it as a starting point. Check current docs for tooling, and expect to look elsewhere for depth in any single area such as web development or machine learning.
Pros
- Reviewers call the explanations clear and easy to follow for a first language
- One reviewer says it explains why Python behaves as it does, not just syntax
- After the core language, it samples scripting, scraping, web and machine learning
- Refreshed in August 2026, and the description targets Python 3.13
Cons
- Some reviewers say tooling and practices feel dated, for example no uv
- At least one student hit errors following along on a newer Python version
- A few reviewers say it stays high level and is thin on fundamentals depth
I had not expected the depth of the material. It is not just teaching the language, but also why things behave in the Python system the way they do.
Listed for all levels, but the no experience required setup suits true beginners best.

Learn Python from scratch, get hired, and have fun along the way with the most modern, up-to-date Python course on Udemy (we use the latest version of Python). This course is focused on efficiency: never spend time on confusing, out of date, incomplete Python tutorials anymore.
This comprehensive and project based course will introduce you to all of the modern skills of a Python developer (Python 3) and along the way, we will build over 12 real world projects to add to your portfolio (You will get access to all the the code from the 12+ projects we build, so that you can put them on your portfolio right away)!
The curriculum is going to be very hands on as we walk you from start to finish of becoming a professional Python developer. We will start from the very beginning by teaching you Python basics and programming fundamentals, and then going into advanced topics and different career fields in Python so you can get real life practice and be ready for the real world.
The topics covered in this course are:
- Programming Fundamentals

We are going to build a web scraper for HackerNews, build a Twitter bot, build the most secure password checker and we will also build some automation tools using Selenium. But the best part? We will build an actual portfolio website using Python that your future employer and customers can contact you at. By the end, you will have a stack of projects you have built that you can show off to others.
Here’s the truth: Most courses teach you Python and do just that. They show you how to get started. But the thing is you don’t know where to go from there or how to build your own projects.
Whether you are new to programming, or want to level up your Python skills, or are coming from a different programming language, this course is for you. This course is not about making you just code along without understanding the principles so that when you are done with the course you don’t know what to do other than watch another tutorial. No! This course will push you and challenge you to go from an absolute beginner with no coding experience to someone that can go off, forget about me, and build their own applications and get hired.
Taught By:
Andrei Neagoie is the instructor of the highest rated Development courses on Udemy as well as one of the fastest growing. His graduates have moved on to work for some of the biggest tech companies around the world like Apple, Google, Amazon, JP Morgan, IBM, UNIQLO etc... He has been working as a senior software developer in Silicon Valley and Toronto for many years, and is now taking all that he has learned, to teach programming skills and to help you discover the amazing career opportunities that being a developer allows in life.
Having been a self taught programmer, he understands that there is an overwhelming number of online courses, tutorials and books that are overly verbose and inadequate at teaching proper skills. Most people feel paralyzed and don't know where to start when learning a complex subject matter, or even worse, most people don't have $20,000 to spend on a coding bootcamp. Programming skills should be affordable and open to all. An education material should teach real life skills that are current and they should not waste a student's valuable time. Having learned important lessons from working for Fortune 500 companies, tech startups, to even founding his own business, he is now dedicating 100% of his time to teaching others valuable software development skills in order to take control of their life and work in an exciting industry with infinite possibilities.
Andrei promises you that there are no other courses out there as comprehensive and as well explained. He believes that in order to learn anything of value, you need to start with the foundation and develop the roots of the tree. Only from there will you be able to learn concepts and specific skills(leaves) that connect to the foundation. Learning becomes exponential when structured in this way.
Taking his experience in educational psychology and coding, Andrei's courses will take you on an understanding of complex subjects that you never thought would be possible.
See you inside the course!

A lot of information is quite old For instance package manager imho should be UV, linting still questionable, debugging imhot not a best way to go. I'd warn course is a bit deprecated, otherwise people will study quite outdated materials
By Nimish jain on 7/22/2026
Kindly update the course as when i was practising python it was a new version but the course used old version which made me difficult to follow the course because of errors. I request you to please update the course content according to the latest version.
By Cierra Bair on 6/29/2026
I had not expected the depth of the material. It is not just teaching the language, but also why things behave in the Python system the way they do. That is how I learn best: going beyond the basic requirements of understanding.
By Dariusz Leszczyński on 6/15/2026
So far, the course has met my expectations. It’s very valuable and helpful for people who are just starting out in programming. The instructor is highly knowledgeable and explains complex programming concepts in a straightforward and comprehensive manner.
By George Recinos on 2/27/2026
Nice introduction. Thanks for making it concise and for providing extra resources, they look very handy and I will definitely put them to good use. I am eager to get started! I am now half way through. I know this is just the tip of the iceberg. Things are going smoothly so far and I am looking forward to getting started with some projects. That's where the real learning begins!
By Farah Dixon on 2/25/2026
Andrei is extremely knowledgeable and demonstrates a strong command of the subject matter. He explained the concepts thoroughly, recognizing that participants are at different stages in their learning journey. His ability to break down complex ideas made the sessions engaging and easy to follow. Andrei created a comfortable learning environment, which encouraged me to continue. His teaching style reflects genuine passion and a commitment to helping others grow. Additionally, the structure of the course allowed me to learn at my own pace and return seamlessly to where I left off, which made the experience both flexible and effective. Overall, Andrei’s teaching significantly enhanced my understanding and made the learning process enjoyable.

overall good course, Could do less with useless information as per what the trainer stated, but near the end is where the gems were at. Great course.
By Dipesh Nagar on 1/6/2026
This is an excellent Python Developer course with clear and structured content. The instructor explains concepts in a very professional and easy-to-understand manner, starting from basics and gradually moving to advanced topics. The practical examples and real-world approach make learning effective and engaging. This course is well-designed for beginners as well as for those looking to strengthen their Python development skills. Highly recommended.
By Ayush Kumar on 12/17/2025
Amazing course and the instructor. The course is easy to follow and the length of the videos also helps a lot. Since the videos are not too long it kept me interested and did not bore at all.
By Rodrigo Campos on 11/2/2025
the course was incredible, I learned a lot and understood some areas of python that I didn't understand in its full way, for example how to send email or declare a variable. I code in python but not all time, in my job there are a lot of scripts that I haven't touched them with many imports, the section about panda I realized for what pandas is needed in this script. I have to thanks the teacher for speaking slow and clear (pronunciation) because it was the first course in English. Thanks a lot Rodrigo.
