The goal of this course is to make you a master of the Python programming language. It is packed with hands-on projects, examples, and coding exercises and focuses on a learn by doing approach to building programming skills and experience.

What are some of the cool projects you will build in this course?

• A speech recognition program that converts audio into text

• A program that allows you to automate working with spreadsheets in Microsoft Excel

• A mobile app that allows the user to paint images on their phone and save and export the images

• 3 full 2D video games - Galaga, Batman, and Super Mario

• A car racing game using the PyGame Game Engine

• Hacking programs that allow you to hack websites, crack codes and break ciphers

• A network communication program using sockets where you can run code for a server and send it data from a client

• An AI Program with Selenium Web Driver that opens the browser, finds a game, and plays it by itself all through automated code (bot that plays an online game)

• A program that automates virtual keystrokes and mouse clicks to interface with other programs on your computer (robotic process automation)

• ...and much more!

Why should you learn Python?

Who is your instructor?

My name is Rob Gioia and I current work as a Mobile Software Engineer in New York City. Python is the first programming language that I learned and I taught Python at the college level as a teacher’s assistant for 2 years.

I’ve created some popular Python courses aimed at teaching beginners to program in Python, this course is a step up to dig deeper into the language and teach you the skills you need to land a job in the industry.

My background has been gaming focused, but I want to emphasize that this is NOT A GAME DEVELOPMENT COURSE! Python can be used in so many other capacities, and this course is meant to make you a master of Python, and then teach you how to build all kinds of projects using this powerful programming language.

What if you have questions?

Any questions you have can be posted to the Q&A forum or messaged to me on Udemy. I check my Udemy account every day to see if students have questions, and do my best to be as responsive and helpful as possible.

If you get stuck at any point during this course, send me a message and I will get you unstuck!

There is no risk in taking this course!

This course comes with a full 30 day money-back guarantee. You either end up with Python skills, go on to develop great programs and potentially make an awesome career for yourself, or you try the course and simply get all your money back if you don’t like it…
