Course Description

See why over 350,000 Udemy members learn coding from Mark Lassoff!
Few programming languages provide you with the flexibility and pure power of Python.
If you're becoming a professional developer, or are early in your development career, adding the Python skill set isn't just a resume embellishment-- It's an empowering language that will allow you to write procedural code in many types of environments and for many uses.
Python is commonly used for server side programming for complex web applications or as a middle tier language providing web services or a communication layer with larger ecommerce systems. That being said, it's also a great language for beginners. The clear syntax makes it very easy to learn, and the powerful libraries make all types of programming possible. There are libraries for everything from games and graphics to complex mathematics to network and embedded programming.
Watch, Learn and Do
Programming is not a spectator sport and if you want to learn Python well, this course contains everything you need.
Skill oriented instructor-led lectures will demonstrate each important Python skill. You'll be able to study and modify the code on your own to cement each topic.

By Taher Miah

Great Intro into Python. I find the voice and instructions are great. Sometimes you buy one of these on Udemy and the instructor has a boring voice that makes it difficult to stay interested, not with this. Mark does a great job

By Greg Howard

Mark is always a great teacher. Highly recommend if you want to learn Python 3

By Qian Yu

Lacks detailed explanation and did not teach how to fully utilize documentation.

By Bruce Van Der Graaf

It's a fairly good basic course, but some of the exercises were missing at the time I took it. Also, there are differences between 2.7 and 3 which can be hard to troubleshoot.

By Colin McGregor

Good lessons so far. Easy step by step explanations. Perfect for someone new to python.

By Steve Ambrosini

Very good match! Learn by example is the way to go and that is how I teach. Other styles are like having to memorize the entire dictionary before starting to write a story.
