Cory Althoff
I am a self–taught programmer. After a year of self–study, I learned to program well enough to land a job as a software engineer II at eBay. Once I got there, I realized I was severely under–prepared. I was overwhelmed by the amount of things I needed to know but hadn’t learned yet. My journey learning to program, and my experience at my first job as a software engineer were the inspiration for this course.
This course is not just about learning to program; although you will learn to code. If you want to program professionally, it is not enough to learn to code; that is why, in addition to helping you learn to program, I also cover the rest of the things you need to know to program professionally that classes and books don’t teach you. The Self–taught Programmer is a roadmap, a guide to take you from writing your first Python program, to passing your first technical interview. I divided the course into five sections:
1. Learn to program in Python 3 and build your first program.
2. Learn Object–oriented programming and create a powerful Python program to get you hooked.
3. Learn to use tools like Git, Bash, regular expressions and databases. Then use your new coding skills to build a web scraper.

I’m only on lesson 8, but so far the course has been easy to understand, informational, and encouraging!
Jan Zbanek –
As a novice there is i couple of thinks that I does not expected, but that was not fault of the course, I will keep it up.
Patryk Karmolinski –
Great!
Daniel Haney –
Yes i believe that this was a good decision for me to do
Iyapo Jones –
So far it’s okay. Only basic info.
Enrique Padilla –
It is clear and easy to follow.
Arcelio Perez –
Yes, it has been good so far.
Jon–Michael Ullom –
I have been wanting to take this course for some time now, I’m really excited to finally get into it.
Samuel Davis –
Indentation and the concept of scope are required before they’re adequately explained. Indeed, the lesson on scope is 2/3 of the way through the first section. Some of the exercises are uninspired. One which sticks out in my mind is the Reverse a string using a Stack from the Data Structures lesson. The first exercise has you reverse a string, the second exercise has you reverse a list of numbers. Due to python’s iterable abstractions, there’s actually no difference in implementation.

Too much lectures and examples don’t always fit the lecture
Nicholas Evangelista –
yes
George Aviles –
It is straight forward and easy to follow along too.
Bella Julio –
I already feel confident in learning this.
Kevin Dsouza –
This course really inspire me to learn programming
Kwon Chapman –
I started my programming journey looking up study material on my own and learning from my mistakes the hard way but, this course has put me on the fast track to mastering code in python and hopefully will lead to a long career in programming.
Samuel Lenz –
Awesome course from a great guy!
Jacqueline –
This course is exactly what I’ve been looking for! Every lesson is o the point, encouraging, and very informative.
Giridhar Kella –
It maintains nice pace, which helps in understanding and not getting irritated. Neither slow not fast. Appropriate explanation is given at the intro of new concept. Unlike other tutorials where, we are informed that will be explained later. Course is well designed and leads next topic in a very systematic manner, which is helping in understanding concepts and applying in subsequent lessons. Thank you…
Sharon –
its going great so far
Joshua Jonas –
The course gets you involved and engaged right from the beginning. Perfect when paired with Cory’s book.
Cassandra Bailey Langjahr –
So far, so good! Just getting started.
David Abrigo –
this is great! i am taking various online courses and i enjoy how simple this is to follow so far!!!
Shreemant Sahu –
It is pretty good. Well I have no former experience in programming, so it’s a great starter for me.
Rosevil John Pausal –
awesomee
Ritik Raj Singh –
I always wanted to learn how to program and taking this course has matched my expectation so far….
Kyros Aday –
lol
Richard Zhu –
Well paced learning experience with complementary exercises to reinforce your content 🙂
Rushabh Patel –
It was an amazing experience to take this course, i’m sure that this course will help enthusiastic and hard working programmers to overcome their doubts about how to get better in programming. Thank You So much for creating this course!
Aditi Shimple –
The course is very specific and focuses on the basics, that was something I was looking for. So far it’s very easy to understand and to keep up. I hope to do some basic or intermediate programming after completing this course.
Oryan Gora –
Easy to understand.
Tamom Kevan –
it is a good course, to begin with
Alice Palmer –
This course is a very good intro so far (on module 8 of 100+ modules) but the instructor speaks clearly, explains the basics well and the course looks like it is outlined in a clear and reasonable manner. I’m a bit more experienced than the course is designed for but it’s a good refresher since I haven’t been coding for a little while.
Shahad Nakhooda –
I’ve known the basics of programming but this course is helping me to understand it more and also to learn Python. I’m really enjoying this course.
Brook Chen –
So far my experience has been okay when it comes to learning the fundamentals of the Python Programming Language.
Tom Condon –
I bought the book and took this course. Nuff said
Somanyu Samal –
This course is absolutely perfect for those who want to get into coding as a beginner.
Ranganath Jayapragasam –
Excellent tutorial for anyone want to start a carrer as software engineer.
Michael Schuler –
A lot of the questions are phrased in a way that doesn’t always make sense to me. The check solution often gives me the right output but says that it’s wrong. It also doesn’t give any helpful error or feedback as to where or how I’ve messed up.
David Dimas –
Good reminder on the bear basics of coding!
Hugo Loza –
going great so far. I hope i end up enjoying to code.
Landen Petersen –
I love this course, he explains everything really clearly and he makes it easy!

But course related to programming. Kudos to instructor 🙂
Zikry Adjie Nugraha –
Awesome video and awesome teaching technique. I can understand it very well.
Spencer Fisher –
I’ve had some prior experience learning C and Jython, both minor stints. I like how the information is provided, but the line delivery could be a little less robotic
Daniel Thorne –
I am learning a lot more details about pythons abilities, even more so than the intro course I took in college.
Sujeewa Sandeepa Kularathna –
So far so good, everything is nice and straight to the point.
