Python Courses in Chicago or Live Online

I have learned Python from fundamental to advanced topics here. Art and Tim are really good at teaching Python.

Taking the python immersive class with Tim was a great experience. I feel have strong foundation from which to keep learning and progress with the projects that interest me. So, if you want to get started coded and are waffling on a decision of which school to attend, pick this one. :)

I recommend this course to anyone looking to get into programming or those looking to sharpen their skills. I had zero experience with python before the course and the instructor was both patient enough to work with me yet still love the course flowing for the more advanced members.

Well worth the money. The course was challenging and relevant, and I will definitely consider taking more courses at Practical Programming. Art does a great job meeting everyone at their level and making sure that everyone feels challenged.

Python for Data Science Immersive is a great course for anyone trying to get started in Python, specifically in pandas and numpy. Art is a great instructor with a plethora of resources that remain available to you after the course is over. Highly recommend this course for anyone needing a crash course on Python.

Amazing classes at this place. Incredible price and quality.

Very instructive course. Definitely worthwhile if you are trying to learn Python. The teacher was engaging and was able to cater to different levels of expertise among the attendees.

Art is great. Very generous with time and knowledge and truly helpful. Great if you have no programming knowledge or if you're a more advanced student. The course is thorough and applies exercises to real-life examples. Will take again and highly recommend!

I started learning python on an online platform almost a year ago and felt that I had completely players like plateaued. I loved the Python immersive course and was able to learn much more in a week than I had on my own over the span of around 8 months. I now I feel fully confident in my ability to continue my python learning independently and I know where to turn when I'm ready to enroll in my next programming course.

I would highly recommend this course to anyone who is looking to gain some knowledge with Python. Thalo(course instructor) is the man! He explains things really well and shows great examples throughout his explanation. Again I highly recommend it.

Art was a good instructor. The introductory Python course was well organized and Art used examples that were easy to understand. Art was able to customize the class to fit our company's specific needs.

I did the python immersive course with Art and Tim, and I had a great time! The class size is designed to be intimate so you get a lot of attention and help from the instructors and they can adjust more closely to your needs. Both of them are very patient and clear in answering students questions, and their debugging skills are fantastic :) I think it is a great course for someone who wants to start learning python and learn some solid basic python or for someone who had some programming experience and want to consolidate their knowledge and refresh their memory. They also have some other related courses that specialize in different areas, looking forward to joining when I have some time in the future! Thank you Art & Tim!

Practical Programming designed a 9-session, in-house training course that benefitted our novice and more advanced Python programmers alike. The training materials were clear and well-prepared, and the applied exercises served to reinforce important concepts. Art was friendly, patient, and readily available to provide support both during and between each training session. I highly recommend Practical Programming if you are seeking accessible and comprehensive Python training for your team

I've taken several classes here. All of the instructors have been great, and the material and its presentation is very comprehensive. So is their style of teaching; it is very easy for me to retain what I've learned between and after classes. It was difficult for me to find the homework sometimes, but I managed.

This class had a great pace, good detail, and gave very practical and usable knowledge and skill. The instructor, Tim was attentive to all in the class and provided the curriculum to the class at the right pace. I plan to take the next level of this course and the machine learning class too.

I loved the class a lot because of the fact that it was a week and able to compress all that information into it. I also liked the 10AM start, not too early. The 5pm end was a little late for my particular week that week, since I had things to do for about 3 days of the week and had to leave early. However, any week-long class will present that problem with trying to fit errands before or after the class. The teacher was very fast and he could type as fast as he could talk. I tried to keep up and coded along with him as he presented, which really helped with the hands on and understanding being able to actually see it run in front of me. This type of hands on also keeps me engaged versus just sitting there watching someone lecture. Sometimes I couldn't quite keep up, but all is good, I still got the main points and lots of information in a short time. The exercises were also good practice, but with me, it takes time and experience to be able to rattle off code with intuitive understanding, so I'm not worried about that yet, since with practice, I know it becomes second nature. Overall, I like the way Practical Programming teaches, and I'm thinking of taking more classes from there.

Always enjoy taking a class with Art. He is knowledgeable and on top of his game. His class is quick paced but easy to follow... is patient with questions.

Well done class... instructor is very calm and patience. Explains things well and teaches at a good pace for comprehension

I learned more than I expected in this Python Data Science class. Although I do not have much background except from some SQL query in GIS environment, now I am confident to explore more into the scripting and customization of applications more than what I used to be.

Practical Programming workshops are lucrative. Especially if you are eager to learn coding from scratch. I signed up for python for data science weekend classes because I work full-time. The classes are more like 1 on 1 sessions and the instructors are super helpful. You actually start with a basic approach to code simple python functions and build upon that towards more/fairly complex coding especially required to manipulate data using Numpy and Pandas in Python. The instructors have different exercise which gives you a clear idea about your skills and if you have any confusion just ask for it. The best thing that it has a very active slack workspace which is available throughout the week. As an alumni, I still benefit from this small community on slack which is just like stack overflow but way much much faster in replies. I would highly recommend this workshop.

Great class!! Art is super helpful and attentive to every question.

Art teaches Python in a very understandable way. Everyone left the introductory class with a good grasp of the fundamentals.

Tim was thorough and read the class very well to determine pace.

If you've never programmed and you're looking for a school with classes that will get you up to speed quickly in a way that's easy to follow and understand, helping you to quickly build the fundamentals, this is the school to do that.

It is very helpful for people looking to advance in their career. And the instructor is very patient and helpful.
