Description

Welcome to one of the unique programming Bootcamp experiences you will ever get. The most critical difference between my course and others is:

Going beyond knowledge: With me, you get really skilled.

   The course covers basic to advanced modern Python 3 syntax. Beginners will learn a lot!
   The course helps you master the 4 most important skills for a programmer
       Programming skills
       Problem-solving skills: rarely covered by other courses
       Project building skills: partially covered by other courses
       Design skills: rarely covered by other courses
   7+ times practice & homework compare to other courses + many (real) projects
   Special Teaching style: iterative, easy, and short
       In a few minutes, I cover clearly what many others need 2-3 times to explain
   This is an English Course only.

Content

   Fundamentals: Variables, Loops, Control Flow, lists, tuples, sets, Dictionary, Functions, Recursive Functions
   Object-Oriented Programming (OOP):
       Objects, Classes, Abstraction, Inheritance, Polymorphism, Operator Overloading
       Embedded in homework: Several design principles & patterns
   Special Topics: Files, Exception Handling, Decorators, Generators, Popular modules
   A huge set of Quizzes, Practice, Homework, and Projects
       2 styles of homework: Algorithmic (problem-solving) and applications
       Several software design concerns are embedded in the homework.
       So you are getting introduced to Software Engineering & Design Patterns
       Several quizzes to master the concepts

Building Skills: Practice, Homework, and Projects

   One unique feature in this course is my education strategy:
       Explain, Administrate & Challenge
   Each video smoothly explains a simple concept(s)
   Typically followed by easy to medium practice to administrate the concept
   Then typically followed by an easy-medium-hard set of homework questions to challenge you
   Extensive homework from easy to medium to hard to help to build the skills.
   Most of the practice/homework questions are unique in this course
       Programming questions are mainly from my competitive programming experience
       OOP questions are mostly invented to achieve several goals:
           Mastering the OOP concepts
           Enforcing a lot of design heuristics & OOD
           Preparing you for design principles and patterns
   Small-to-large set of projects to build up project building and design skills
   Solutions to all of them.

By the end of the journey

   Solid understanding of programming concepts and its Python syntax
   Mastering the target 4 skills
   With the administered problem-solving skills
       You can start competitive programming smoothly in Div2-A/B Codeforces
       Smooth start in Data Structure course
       Smooth start in Algorithms course
   With the administered project-building and design skills
       Smooth start in Software Engineering course
       Later, smooth start in one of the technology tracks in frontend or backend
   More career options such as games or embedded development.

What are the common complaints from programming courses?

   Limited topics coverage.
   Outdated syntax.
   Unnecessary long videos with repetitions.
   Too much time to explain basic concepts.
   A sudden jump in the level. I can’t cope with the content.
   Assumptions of previous knowledge to understand some of the concepts.
   Building over concepts that were not mastered through practice or homework.
   The same examples are used over and over.
   Several consecutive lectures without practice or homework to master the concepts.
   Awesome knowledge, almost zero skills.
   Very little practice or homework.
   Good homework in the first half and very weak in the remaining.
   Many homework without solutions.
   Only one project.
   Small-size project.
   Long but tedious project.
   The project doesn’t help enforce the concepts.
   Project source code is not provided. I needed to compare and learn.
   Moving to Datastructures or Algorithms course was not easy. Weak problem-solving skills.
   After the course, I am still stuck and can’t do even simple projects. Weak project-building skills.
   The course taught OOP syntax and concepts nicely, but OOD skills are not built. Weak design-skills.
   And more!

In this course, not only the content and skills are unique and added value, but also the whole experience to avoid as possible the above concerns and much more! Even if you attended a programming course, my material will be an added value, especially its homework and projects.

Don’t miss such a unique learning experience!
Who this course is for:

   Whoever curious about programming
   Learned programming, but has weak skills due to trying little challenges and projects
   Experts in other programming languages migrating to Python

Requirements

   Passion with building things!
   Passion with problem solving!
   Access to a computer.
