I’ve just recently launched a self-paced introduction to Python that is extremely hands-on. It’s called Python Jumpstart and it’s based on introductory Python curriculum that I have been iterating on for years.
Learn Python by writing Python code ✍
We do not learn by putting information into the brain. Our brains simply don’t retain knowledge that way.
Learning happens from repeatedly attempting to retrieve information from the brain. When it comes to Python, that means writing Python code.
So unlike most Python courses, Python Jumpstart is not focused on watching videos and rewriting code seen within videos. Instead, this new Python course is based around learning Python by writing Python code.
How Python Jumpstart is structured 🔬
Python Jumpstart includes learning Python by solving 46 short Python exercises.
Before each exercise, you’ll watch a 5 minute video explaining a new Python topic. You’ll then attempt the exercise to put one or more Python topics into practice.
You won’t solve many of the exercises on your first try and that’s okay. These exercises are designed to be revisited a few times over the course of weeks, until you’re satisfied with your solution.
This is not a sprint 📆
This structured path to Python proficiency, includes:
- Carefully crafted exercises that build real understanding
- Short, detailed explanations that won’t waste your time
- A proven teaching approach that focuses on active learning
- Spaced repetition to help concepts stick
This is not a course for impatient or passive learners. Learning takes repetitive effort spaced over many days and this course is structured to embrace that fact.
If you spend 30 minutes on Python Jumpstart each day, I estimate that you’ll complete this course in about 7 weeks. You’ll spend the large majority of that time writing Python code.
This course will take time, but it will be time well-spent.
Launch week special: 50% off until December 2 ⏰
Through Monday December 2, 2024, you can get lifetime access to Python Jumpstart for $99. After this launch week, Python Jumpstart will be $199.
