The Complete Regular Expressions Course For Beginners

Regular expressions(regex) is a moderately difficult topic to grasp, as well as teach. It is really important that you grasp the core concepts thoroughly. Once you get the fundamentals right, regular expressions(regex) will come naturally to you. I struggled to learn regular expressions(regex) myself a couple of decades back. I completely understand the pain points. I have seen tons of free youtube videos on regular expressions(regex), but they all fail in something fundamental. They do NOT care about getting the basics right. I have taken immense efforts to prepare this course material. Each and every concept, each and every exercise, has been meticulously planned in such a way that it sticks to your brain easily. I have created graphical illustrations wherever possible to drive home the point. Each of the 30 examples come with graphical illustrations on how the regex techniques are applied in a step–by–step way, to come up with a solution.

I teach regular expressions(regex) using the POSIX standard. I have done so because the POSIX standard is followed by ALL regex engines. So if you know how to apply the techniques that you learn from this course, you can play around with regular expressions(regex) in ANY programming language of your choice. You could even try it out in Notepad++ (Yes, Notepad++ comes with a basic regex engine.)
