Course Description

About the Course

Python is a programming language.

Learning a programming language goes into four parts.

1. Learn the Language

2. Practice Exercises

3. Coding Challenge

4. Project Challange


We designed this course in the same way. The first step is to learn the language and features.

I will cover this part using video lectures to explain the concepts and show you some working examples.

All you need to do is to sit relaxed and observe the videos.


The second part is to practice what you learned.

I will also include a set of simple practice exercises.

You might see some practice exercises in the middle of the section, or at the end.

These exercises will be super simple, and they will help you practice and play with what you learned in the given section.


The third part is to solve some complex coding challenges.

These are again exercises that I will include as a separate section.

You will get these challenges after you finish 2-3 sections and reach a logical level of your learning.

These challenges will present a random problem combining everything you learned in the previous sections.

They will be tough and tricky, but they will help you scale your knowledge to the next level.


The fourth and final step is to solve a more significant problem by applying everything you learned in this course.

You can call it a micro-project. The micro-project problem statement and the expectation are included as the last thing of this course. The micro-project allows you to apply all that you learned in this course and solve a business problem.


Nothing to worry about. You will also have access to one or more solutions for every given exercise and the micro-project.

You can try solving the given problems, and if you feel stuck, you can refer to the solution and other related material.

However, we recommend that you give an honest try to do the exercises and referring to the solution should be the last thing.


Looking forward to seeing you on the course.

I am a Senior Data Engineer at Amazon, and I can confidently say that he is one of the best Data Engineering tutors I have come across so far. Here are the reasons for my recommendation: 1. He explains concepts at a very fundamental level in a way that is easy to understand. You gain deep insights without having to invest an excessive amount of time. At times, it felt like a close friend was sharing internal system knowledge and practical insights that others usually hesitate to share. 2. His course is concise yet highly focused on what truly matters. There is no unnecessary content — just clear, relevant, and impactful learning. 3. His English is smooth, and his voice is calm and pleasant, which makes it easy to follow along even during longer sessions.

its 2026 coming and the installation part is done in 2020 only little hectic to install. And one more thing i must say in one go you will not understand so you have to practice a lot to understand the concept.

I executed the same instructions you did but I got a browser error. I spent an hour working with copilot to fix the issues. You should explain what to do if there are problems.

A great introductory Python course for aspiring data engineers! The content is well-structured, with plenty of practical examples that make learning easy and engaging.

If the author may have provided some handouts of the course or may be slide deck it would have come handy for revision purpose, Now either i can focus on the content of the video or prepare notes for myself. Even the URL's that were demonstrated are not provided.

I liked this course because because the instructor has very clearly explained the concepts in precise manner. Also I appreciate the practical exercise given after every 2-3 lessons and these exercise help to revise and brush up the concepts.

I like the way Prashant explains any topic in his course. He has shown in very simple way all topic covered in this Python course. I specially like the summarize part so that we don't forgot anything. Practical after every module are quit good and given me confidence for topic I have learned.

By Raghavendra H S on 12/6/2020

This is a best python course for the beginner's I came across in the Udemy. Course fully contains both explanation and learning challenges. Learning challenges at the end of each section will give good hands on experience. I recommend this course for anyone who wants to learn Python. Keep up the good work Prashant. Thank you!
