Tired of feeling frustrated learning Python, when everyone says it's so easy?
Everywhere you look, companies are looking for people who know Python. Whether you're a network administrator, data analyst, Web developer, devops engineer, or data scientist, Python is a required skill — or at least highly desired.
The good news, as you've probably heard, is that Python is super easy to learn. You can learn it in a day! Or even an hour! Maybe you can even use it without learning it at all, and just copying code from Stack Overflow!
Um, no. That's just not how it works.
Yes, Python is easier to learn than most other programming languages. But it still takes time and effort to become fluent.
Fortunately, I'm here to help. I'm Reuven, and I've been using Python for about 30 years. Moreover, I've been teaching Python to companies around the world for more than two decades. I know where people get stuck, what frustrations they have, and what they need to know in order to get great jobs with Python.

My courses are different
My courses are also different than most of the others you've seen:
- I don't use slides. Rather, I use the Jupyter notebook, live-coding as I teach and speak. You can download, and then play with, the notebooks that I use when teaching.
- I go way beyond the syntax, to explain how and why Python does what it does. You'll learn simple rules that describe Python's behavior, and explain what's going on behind the scenes.
- I use visual aids, like the Python Tutor site, to reinforce the ideas that I describe in the code.
- Most importantly, my courses all include numerous hands-on exercises — followed by detailed explanations and walk-throughs in Jupyter. I don't just provide you with the solution; I also walk you through the process of how to achieve that solution.
My students consistently say that they've never taken a course like mine. Many of them say that took numerous other Python courses, but never "got it" until they studied with me. I'm confident that you'll feel the same way.
What do I offer?
I offer a variety of courses, depending on your background and needs:
- Are you completely new to programming? Start with my completely free "Python for non-programmers" course.
- Are you an experienced developer, but new (i.e., <1 year) to Python? Check out my beginner-level courses, based on the classes I've given to Fortune 100 companies for two decades.
- Have you been using Python for more than a year, and want to improve your fluency even further? Check out my advanced courses.
- Want to know how to analyze data with Python? I have a variety of courses about data analytics, too.
- Are you looking to get a Python job, and want to prep for the interview? Check out my completely free "Ace Python Interviews" course.
Not sure what courses would best advance you in your career? Drop me a line, and I'll do what I can to help! I'm always available at [email protected].
Do you need my courses?
No. You can definitely learn Python on your own. I did, back in the early 1990s, and many others have done so since then. There are numerous tutorials, courses, blogs, and videos that you can use to learn and improve your Python.
But I've spent more than two decades teaching Python to people all over the world. I've discovered what problems people have when learning and using the language, and what techniques help them to use it as quickly as possible. I teach topics in a certain order, and give specific exercises, knowing what challenges you need to grow and improve as a Python developer. And I show you not only the "what" of Python, but also the "why" and the "what's best."
After taking my courses, my students get great jobs — including six-figure jobs at some of the best-known companies on the planet.
My courses aren't the only way to learn Python. But thousands of people around the world have used them to improve their careers, enjoying the perks of a high-tech job surrounded by other bright people, solving some of the toughest problems that the world has to offer. Join them, and me, and improve your Python today!

Many thanks for this brilliant course! It was well structured, highly organized, and had a good combination of theory and hands-on assignments. None of us left with unanswered questions.
Software engineer, IBM
The best instructor in programming I have ever had the pleasure of learning from. His mastery of the content and delivery is excellent. The content of the material, practical examples and attention to detail make this an excellent course.
Software engineer, Cisco
The content, clear delivery and explanation of the concepts was of highest quality. The instructor is supremely knowledgeable and experienced in breaking down the complexities of material. He is really good at using examples for each subject material from a foundational level and gradually building up to more advanced concepts.
Software engineer, Fortune 100 company
The instructor's knowledge and deep understanding of python is unique and exceptional. His ability to decouple the complexities of the language to make it easier to grasp. The content and examples of the class were of highest quality.

What version of Python do you use?
My courses use the latest version as of when I recorded the class. In many cases, that's 3.7, but I've also included 3.8, 3.9, and (as of this writing) 3.10, as those versions have come out.
As a general rule, my courses are fine for Python 3.7 and above. Features that were introduced in later versions are described as such, so as to warn students using earlier ones.

What if I find that the course is too easy or hard, or that I just dislike your jokes?
If you aren't satisfied with my course, then I'll refund your money. Just e-mail me. I believe that I'm offering a high-quality product, but I also know that it's not for everyone.
As for the jokes, people have been trying to help me for years. So far, my jokes have just gotten worse, not better. Oh, well.

Live class: Intro Python Objects
$150 $105
As with many other modern languages, Python supports object-oriented programming.

Threads and processes in Python (recording of webinar from October 2021)
$150 $105
Long ago, computers could do only one thing at a time. But nowadays, we expect to ask our computer to do many things in parallel. To do this, programmers can typically choose between two main options — threads and processes. Python provides support for both threads and processes. But using them can be tricky, difficult, and a bit strange — thanks to a combination of Python syntax, limitations on what we can do wi...

Functional Python programming (live webinar from Sept. 2021)
$150 $105
Functional programming is a set of techniques that have been around for many decades, and which are sometimes seen as old, dusty, and academic.

But it does provide for a number of functional techniques. In this four-...
