Description

If you want to get started programming in Python, you are going to LOVE this course! This course is designed to fully immerse you in the Python language, so it is great for both beginners and veteran programmers! Learn Python as we cover the basics of programming, advanced Python concepts, coding a calculator, essential modules, creating a "Final Fantasy-esque" RPG battle script, web scraping, PyMongo, WebPy development, Django web framework, GUI programming, data visualization, machine learning, and much more!

We are grateful for the great feedback we have received!

"This course it great. Easy to follow and the examples show how powerful python can be for the beginner all the way to the advanced. Even if the RPG may not be your cup of tea it shows you the power of classes, for loops, and others!"

"Good course even for non-programmers too."

"It's really well explained, clear. Not too slow, not too fast."

"Very thorough, quick pace. I'm learning A TON! Thank you :)"

"Good explanation, nice and easy to understand. Great audio and video quality. I have been trying to get into Python programming for some time; still a long way to go, but so far so good!"

We will work on 10 projects, covering the following topics, in this course:

Programming Basics
Python Fundamentals
JavaScript Object Notation (JSON)
Web Scraping
PyMongo (MongoDB)
Web Development
Django Web Framework
Graphical User Interface (GUI) Programming (PyQt)
