Course Description

My name is Tim Buchalka, and along with my co-instructor Jean-Paul Roberts, we would like to ask you to come with us on a journey as we take you from a beginner to an experienced Python software developer.

Collectively we have over 60 years of software development and teaching experience.

Tim has over 34,000 students in his other courses and literally hundreds of five star reviews.

Now it's your turn to learn Python! Are you ready to learn how to program?

This course assumes no previous experience, and takes you from the absolute beginner concepts like showing you the tools you need to download and install, writing your very first Python program, and then goes into more detail as we explore the entire Python feature set.

All the basic Python keywords, operators, statements, and expressions are explained in great detail, together with complete chapters on object oriented programming and the Python API.

You learn to develop powerful Python applications using one of the most powerful Integrated Development Environments on the market, IntelliJ IDEA!

Read all the 5 star reviews other students have left about this course!

Now don't worry if none of that made any sense. Because, we go into great detail explaining each and every core concept, programming terms, and buzzwords.

By the end of this course you will have a mastery of programming in Python no matter what level of experience you are at right now.

Be sure to click the free preview button on this page if you want to get a taste of the quality of the training.

Our goal is not just to show you how to program, but to help you understand what you are doing, and why you are doing it as well!

Not only do the videos show you how to become a programmer in great detail, but this course has a unique challenge feature included.

Each time a core concept is taught, a video presents a challenge for you that is designed to help you really understand what you have just learned.

You will go away and complete the challenge, and then come back and see the challenge answered and explained in detail in the video, allowing you to check your results!

This is a fantastic way to really help you understand Python faster and ensure you will reach your goal of becoming a Python Developer in record time.

As your instructor, Tim has over 30 years experience as a software developer and teacher, and has worked professionally with many companies including Mitsubishi and Saab.

Jean-Paul Roberts also has over 30 years of development and teaching experience, including 16 years with IBM and 3 years at a University teaching computing courses.

We are both expert programmers who also have the relatively unique ability to make teaching fun and easy.

Don't worry, we might be geeks, but we do make programming fun and painless for you to learn!

Not convinced? Just go and take a read of some of the rave reviews given in some of Tims other courses on Java, Android, etc.

The facts are that students love our courses and style of teaching, because it helps them reach their goals faster.

Are you ready to let us help you become a Python developer?

Course updates

One of the things we pride ourselves on is how often we add new content to our courses, and how often we update them, and this course is the same.

As an example, Tim's Android course has had over 30 hours of material and numerous updates applied to it to ensure it remains current and is of the best quality for you.

We will be constantly adding new material to the course as well as updating it on a regular basis to make sure you have access to the best and most up to date and comprehensive Python training available!

This is the number one course you need to get enrolled in if you truly want to learn how to become a Python Developer.

So, are you ready to get started? Enroll now and I look forward to seeing you inside!

Instructor Biography

Tim Buchalka , Java & Android Geek and Teacher

I am an Android app and games developer, and teacher with 30 years of development experience! And I reveal all my knowledge and secrets in my courses! I've been using Java since all the way back in 1998 !

I spent years as a contract software developer working for government departments, and large prestigious companies like Saab, Mitsubishi, and Fujitsu (to name just a few) in a developer/team lead developer capacity.

I am skilled in many development languages including Java, C++, C#, and Objective-C to name a few.

For the past 10 years I have been self employed, and now focus exclusively on teaching others how to develop apps for an Android platform.

If I am not adding new content to my Udemy courses, or my "Aussie Android Dev Guy" Youtube channel, I will be messing around with new and obscure Android API's, or playing games on my Nexus 7 or Nexus 4, or even one of my game consoles (XBox360, PS4, and XBox One)

I've published numberous games on Google Play Android store, and for the record my first published game was in 1982 for the Commodore 64 (the Simon memory game).

Yes I can still remember writing 6502 and Z80 Assembly language (I have fond memories of the Sinclair ZX-81 and Amstrad CPC-464 machines).

I love to teach and get very passionate about development and assisting others to achieve success in this field.


Instructor Biography

Jean-Paul Roberts , Computer programmer, analyst and teacher

I am a programmer with over 30 years' experience gained in a range of industries, the last 16 with IBM.

I am now self employed developing apps for Android; programming in a range of languages including Java, Javascript and Python; and helping the next generation of programmers gain the skills that I have acquired over the years.

The first program I sold controlled stock movement in a warehouse, and ran on a CP/M computer - both the program and operating system lived in the 64 kb (yes, kilobytes) that was all CP/M systems had in those days.

I have gained experience in a wide range of industries including Utilities, Retail, Insurance and the Motor Manufacturing industry. My clients and employers have included Northumbrian Water, Arcadia, Royal Sun Alliance, Nissan and Jaguar Landrover. I also worked for Sunderland University for 3 years preparing and delivering training courses in computing.

Times have changed, the challenges are very different to what they were, but programming remains fun!

When not at my computer, I am often riding my motorbike through the wonderful countryside of the UK and Europe.
