Course Description

Layered Learning
Why spend dozens of hours earning a single certificate?
Rather than feeling overwhelmed, our learning opportunities gradually gifts students with many printable & sharable certificates. Resume-worthy achievements to testify to your step-by-step mastery of Python.
Never a "one size fits all" approach, our training opportunities are divided into beginner (1000), intermediate (2000), and advanced (3000 - 9000) experience levels. Rather than learning things you might not need to know, students can choose the topics that they are most interested in.
The Python Primer
In the Python Primer, students will learn how to apply fundamental keywords, concepts, and built-in functions. More advanced topics will be covered in Python 1100.
Beginners Welcome!
Written by a Principal Trainer & Principal Software Development Engineer, in order to insure mastery key topics are presented several times, as well as at ever-increasing depth. Students will also be using professional programming interfaces - the same tools that software developers use - to create their software.
From keywords & tabs, to testing & documentation, hints & tips on how to use Python in the professional world abound!
After completing the Python 1000 series, in the Python 2000 series students will complete keyword mastery by exploring a large collection of activity-related topics. Sold separately, in the 2000 series students will enjoy learning how to create Lambdas, Generators, Context Managers, Packages & Modules, Classes, Factories, Frameworks, how to manage Exceptions, as well as other professional programming topics. Who this course is for:
  • Learners looking to understand what software development is all about.
  • Students looking for an evenly paced, certificate laden, customizable, education process.
  • Professionals who need to extract & map requirements to the code they create.
  • People who need to know "why," as well as "how" to use Python 3 in the professional world.

Intro is necessary content, so I cant criticize, lecture is good.

Very good introduction course for beginning learner

Clear, organized, and thorough.

i'm learning a lot !!

Good explanations.

This course was free - and a good job too. It is all over the place - The pace goes from fast to slow, the speech at times sounds computer generated, and you are two whole sections in before you have started doing anything in Python. If you are serious about learning Python there are far better courses on Udemy than this.

thanks

great course ...

very good instructor

the course is good but it will be better if you worked in python directly instead of taking screenshots for the programs

Poorly organized. Improperly described in the promo. Just bad.

The course is presenting a descriptive,unique and scaling of terminology that is easy to follow. Much better than starting with complex hard to follow introductions I have encountered in many tech courses.

The explanations are clear and in-depth. So far so good!

I am now halfway through the course and I've already learned so much! Thank you, Mr. Nagy!
