Learn Python Fundamentals in this hands-on 2-day course.
In this 2-day course, students will be introduced to Python. Python is a great beginner coding language that is quick to learn and extremely versatile. Python can be used to build software, to analyze data, and to build amazing websites.
Python has become the most popular coding language learned at educational institutes for several reasons. Firstly, Python developers consistently earn among the highest average salaries of any programming language. Secondly, Python has many uses such as graphics, data science, web development, finance, trading, and security. Lastly, Python can be learned faster than many other languages. As a result, no matter if you are a beginning developer or a developer looking to add a new programming language to your resume, you can become skilled in Python much more quickly than it would take to learn most other languages. In short, Python is a great first programming language to learn, and has the added advantage of a higher salary!
Students will learn about the syntax, principles, and thought processes that programming entails. This course will give students a solid foundation that will allow them to enroll in our Data Science Certificate.
From our hands-on training style to world-class instructors and custom-crafted curriculum, we deliver results our alumni are proud of.
Good intro to python. Gives a nice solid toolkit that you can use to do further exploration. It's helpful to have a person to explain some basic things and put an eye on your code at the start -- helps save frustration debugging. :) Fairly reasonably priced and interesting out of class exercises. Would recommend to those looking for an easy (non-boot camp) intro.

Fairly intensive class, covers a whole bunch of material in a very efficient manner. I was familiar with programming logic from college (granted it was a decade ago) but I think I would have found it a bit fast if I was starting from scratch. If you are willing to work hard, this is a great class, Art does a good job.
Simran Bhatia
This is an excellent class for an intro to python. Art is helpful and works with the students specific to everyone's experience and pace.
Varun Sodhia
Great Class. Very comprehensive good starting point for python. Art was great at explaining concepts and helping work through issues.
Rohan Tawde
Really enjoyed the class! Art has a ton of experience in teaching the basics of python to people who have no previous coding experience. The class format is great - we start with lectures and go right into practice problems to use what we just learned. 100% would recommend!
Helen Li
Very informative and clear to the point. Art is a very insightful instructor. Recommended
Luis Munoz Vilchez
Introduction to Python was very comprehensive and Art was a great instructor. Would recommend to those just starting out.

I took Introduction to Python and Web Scrapping with Art and the class was great! I learned a lot and can't wait to continue my Python education.
Bryndee Carlson
Took Intro to Python and Web Scraping and with Art. I am pretty bad at python but Art is sooo patient and is willing to go over and over examples without losing his patience. If you practiced you would be amazing after this class!
Kate Ingram
Great class. Great instructor perfect for beginners.

I participated in the weeklong intro to Python course and it was great! the instructor, Thalo, is a great teacher and very patient/diligent in helping you. I would definitely recommend this course (and Practical Programming in general) to any beginner or novice interested in learning how to program.

Art is a great teacher. Highly recommend.
Wonderful teacher, in depth class! I learned way more than I expected would be possible in just 3 hours. Highly recommend!

Great class. Very informative. Highly recommended!
The instructor was very knowledgeable and interactive. I really appreciated the way he made sure each student understood the concepts discussed that night!
Overall very happy with the course. The third class became very confusing and hard to keep up. The instructor tried to touch all the materials that perhaps was too much for one class.
I loved Art! He’s super patient and answers all questions! I recommend this class for all python beginners!! I had no knowledge of python prior to this class.
pretty fun and informative. Very good teacher with a lot of knowledge about the topic.
I'm an absolute beginner and felt completely comfortable in this class. Art was a patient teacher taking us through each lesson. I do wish he had time to show us how the programming we practiced is applied in the real world, i.e. what it looks like from an end-user perspective but I guess I'll just have to take another class!!
The instructor ‘Art’ taught well and he was very patient in clarifying each student’s doubts. I understood all concepts well. The class is meant for absolute beginners who have no prior programming experience.
Tim is a great instructor. He checks every student's work and patiently answers everyone's questions. A good intro class for those who want to get a foot in the door in coding.
I enjoyed this class, the instructor was engaging and truly cared if you were understanding the material. I think I will sign up for more!
Very good introductory Python course, recommended!
I really liked the teacher and learned a lot. Plan to take another class soon.
Great instructor! He made it easy to follow along and understand the concepts.

I didn't expect to learn much in a 4 session Python course, but Art's teaching style was very fitting for me. As the Chinese proverb states: Tell me, I'll forget. Show me, I'll remember. Involve me, I'll understand.
