Real Python

“Just wanted to say thanks! I’ve tried using another tutorial but it was very convoluted and difficult to understand – this is much more straightforward! I really liked it! The best part is the practical application. I had no idea Python was this much fun. I literally built a number of websites from ground up and am in the process of launching my first MVP. Best Kickstarter ever.”

“Thanks! I got to read the first 3 chapters of the course the first time it was available and I was totally hooked. I’ve been trying to learn Python by myself and it is totally challenging and just like what the intro in your course stated: YES, it is hard to find a good course. To add to that, your course is the best that I have used.”

“As a practice of what you taught I started building simple scripts for people on my team to help them in their everyday duties. When my managers noticed that, I was offered a new position as a developer. I know there is heaps of things to learn and there will be huge challenges, but I finally started doing what I really came to like. Once again - MANY THANKS!”

“I have really enjoyed the Real Python courses you gifted me.”

“What I found great about the Real Python courses compared to others is how it explains things in the simplest way possible. A lot of courses, in any discipline really, require the learning of a lot of jargon when in fact what is being taught could be taught quickly and succinctly without too much of it. The courses also do a very good job of keeping the examples interesting. I particularly found the web scraping tutorial to be great; I felt like I was doing some actual programming instead of toying around with it and just printing, “Hello world”.”

“One aspect of the Real Python series that may not get as much attention as the content itself is the service offered by its creators. Notice in the forums how personalized responses are given. This highlights how the courses have been crafted - for the user. In all the material it feels as though instruction is not broadcast to the masses, but instead shared in a way that is comfortable and almost personal. The creators of Real Python care that users are able to understand, learn, and practically apply the Python language.”

“I love the book because at the end of each particular lesson there are real world and interesting challenges. I just built a savings estimator that actually reflects my savings account - pretty neat.”

“I discovered Real Python a few weeks ago, and immediately bought it. Even though I only needed it for the web development part, I found all the courses easy to follow - which is rare, as most tutorials are dense and boring, and it seems, written for the writer than anyone else. The authors’ of Real Python, on the other hand, are firmly aware of their audience. I wish I would have found the course earlier. Much earlier.”

“The Real Python series is a great resource for beginner and intermediate Python programmers. I found the first course to be a good introduction to Python programming. The second course focuses on web programming with various little recipes for web scraping and working with web APIs. The latter portion of the book talks about Python web frameworks, like web2py, Flask and Django. I recommend these courses for beginners in Python and for those interested in getting into Python’s web frameworks!”

“Thanks @realpython I used your wordcount app as guideline to build http://catelus.com which is now cashflow positive!”

“When we initially had the idea of starting the company Export Abroad , web development was such a foreign concept to me. I was using python in an academic setting and have used the Real Python courses and blog posts to shape a lot of what we do. So I figured it is only right to also use the courses to train our summer interns. Thank you!”

“Three years later and I still return to my Real Python books when I need a quick refresher on usage of vital Python commands.”
