No matter how much Python you already know, there’s always more that you can make it do.

In
this course, you’ll join expert Pythonista Aaron Maxwell for a hands-on, in-depth exploration of
Python for users who want to take their Python skills up a level. You’ll learn to write code that’s
simultaneously more concise, readable, powerful, and highly maintainable, and develop a deeper
understanding of Python’s object system.

The course uses a mix of lectures, ebook downloads, Q&A sessions, and realistic code examples.
Aaron includes simple quizzes throughout the course to track your progress, and provides hands-
on lab exercises that you’ll complete by passing provided unit tests.

What you'll learn-and how you can apply it


By the end of this live, hands-on, online course, you’ll understand:
• How to write more maintainable, readable, and expressive Python
• The capabilities of Python’s object system
• How to create more responsive and scalable Python software
And you’ll be able to:
• Write more powerful Python code
• Write Python code that’s concise, readable, and highly maintainable
• Advise your teammates on potently powerful Python patterns and crucial best practices

This training course is for you because...


• You are a web developer using Python frameworks
• You’re a QA engineer using Python for scripting and writing tests
• You’re a data scientist using Python and you want to get more done, faster
• You’re a software engineer aiming to be more productive, and write more robust, reliable,
maintainable Python code
• You want to improve your Python knowledge to ace an interview or land that dream job
• You feel you’ll benefit from deeply understanding the Python language and ecosystem, and how
to use it to its fullest potential
Prerequisites
• Ability to write simple Python programs using lists and dictionaries
• Familiarity with basic types (int, str, float, etc.) and defining classes
• Experience using modules in the standard library
To fully participate in this hands-on class, install either Python 3 (3.4 or later); or Python 2.7. Python 3
is recommended. You will be able to do the programming exercises in either version. Since almost
everything in the course applies to both versions, the class will be taught primarily using 3, pointing out
where 2.7 is different as we go along. (Note that Python 3.x safely installs alongside Python 2, with no
conflict; for example, the interpreter is named "python3" instead of "python".)
You can use any Python-aware IDE or editor; Pycharm is one good choice. You should also be able to
open a Python interactive interpreter on the command line, and run simple programs ("python3
helloworld.py") either on the command line or in your IDE. On Windows, you will need to set your
