Learn Python from the ground up and use Python to build a hands-on project from scratch!
Want to learn Python "on the job" whilst building an exciting course project? This course is for you!
This is a highly practice-oriented Python course that teaches you Python from scratch - no prior programming experience required!
Python is THE most trending programming language you can learn these days!
It's very popular because it's easy to learn and use, runs on all operating systems and allows you to build a broad variety of programs: Be that web applications, desktop applications, utility scripts or using it for data science and machine learning.
In this course, you'll learn Python from scratch - and you'll do so whilst building your own Blockchain and Cryptocurrency. These are of course also highly trending topics and not a lot of people understand what a Blockchain really is. As a nice side-effect, you will know how a Blockchain works once you completed this course. It's an exciting course project that allows you to learn and apply Python to something you know and you can use.
Why Python?
As written above, Python is both easy-to-use and extremely versatile and powerful at the same time. Certainly not the worst combination. If you check it on Google trends (and compare it to other programming languages), you'll see that it's very popular these days.
It's being used by almost any important company - be that Google, Amazon or Facebook. It's used to run web applications, scripts, desktop programs and machine learning algorithms. This course sets the basics for all these use-cases!
Why Blockchain?
I believe that you learn something best if you directly apply it to a real-world project. And the Blockchain technology is an exciting trend which is there to stay. In this course, you'll learn a lot about the core concepts of the Blockchain and you'll see how Python can be used for the many aspects that make up a Blockchain and Cryptocurrency.
In my opinion, a perfect course project is challenging, interesting, something you know from real-life but also not overly complex. And that's all the case for the Blockchain! It poses some nice challenges where a lot of different Python features can be used to overcome them. It also is something we hear about all the time and yet no one knows how it works. And we can dive into the core Blockchain concepts without spending 100+ hours working on it.
Who's teaching you?
My name is Maximilian Schwarzmüller and I'm a freelance developer. My focus is on web development but I've been working with Python for many years. It's actually one of the first languages I started with when I was 13. I'm the creator of many 5 star bestseller courses here on Udemy and I love diving into new technologies. That's why I had to dive into this whole Blockchain thing when it became more popular and why I chose it as a project for this course.
I can't wait to welcome you on board of this course and I hope you'll enjoy it just as much as I did creating it! :-)
What's in the course?
Great question! Here's a brief summary:
A summary of Python and the Blockchain technology
All the base Python syntax you need to know (variables, operators, functions, ...)
Loops and conditional statements
More complex data structures like tuples or dictionaries
A closer look at built-in functions and the standard library Python ships with
String manipulation
How to work with files
Error handling
Debugging
Object-oriented programming with classes and inheritance
Internal & external modules (packages)
How to spin up an Http server with the Flask package
Handling Http requests (sending & receiving)
And more!
What are the course prerequisites?
NO prior programming knowledge is required
Very basic knowledge about how a computer works will help you though (but can also be built up whilst you're going through the course)
Is this course for you?
It's for you if
You want to get into programming => Python is a great "first language" since it's easy to learn and very versatile
You want to broaden your horizon => Are you a web developer? Want to learn something new? Here you go!
You're interested in Python for web development => This course will teach you Python in general but there are two modules where we'll also dive into web development a bit
You're interested in the Blockchain technology => You'll learn the core concepts of it as a side-effect of this course!
You know Python but want to practice it => The course project is challenging and taken from real-life - there probably is no better practice
Does that sound good to you? I'd be honoured to welcome you in this course! :-)
Students can take advanced Python courses and build real projects with it
Students may build upon the Python and Blockchain knowledge gained in this course and start working on their own Blockchain
Students can dive into Web Development or Data Science with Python

Experience as (Web) DeveloperStarting out at the age of 12 I never stopped learning new programming skills and languages. Early I started creating websites for friends and just for fun as well. Besides web development I also explored Python and other non-web-only languages. This passion has since lasted and lead to my decision of working as a freelance web developer...

Great lessons. Thank you!
Great course
I've created todo list project instead of blockchain project, but it was interesting to go through all videos
Max is the best!!!
best teacher on udemy
Excellent course. Max is a true teacher and passionate user of Python, and programming in general. The modules are broken up well, and everything builds off the previous one. Max explains things very clearly, and even takes time to break down difficult concepts into entire lessons to ensure the learner really understands. Truly a 'learn as you go' course, it was easy to plug away at this, and jump in each day as I worked though it. Max also provides dozens and dozens of links and downloads for future reference and learning.
This launched me into a new passion, and hopefully, a new career.
Thank you Max!!
Maximilian is a great teacher, I really like the way he takes the topics gradually and above all he codes on the fly at a pace that allows anyone to easily follow and execute the projects in their entirety. In this course, the blockchain project is great, so it doesn't just cover the Python topic, but goes beyond that.
I usually like the courses of Max, but this one goes way too slowly. It's also more about block chain than about Python. New information about Python comes very very slowly. It's also hard to skip parts, because the block chain plays such a big part in the course. If you skip parts of the course that you lose context of what you're doing.
In the course you also often start with a bad way of doing something and improving on it later on. I understand this, but it's overly done, making it take a long time before you actually learn something useful.
This might be a good course for a complete beginner who has not much programming experience before, but for someone who has experience with other languages, this course is not it.
It was a great course. Really challenging project. Being interested in both Python and blockchain, I can't say it disappointed me.
Pros:
1. Max - great teacher
2. All necessary Python and Blockchain concepts covered
Some cons though:
1. Old content - based on Python 3.6, i.e. year 2018... We've got 10/2024. Even though course overview says "Last updated 11/2023", the content was not updated (example: claiming there is no switch statement, but 3.10 released in 2021 introduced match, which is exactly that)
2. Lower quality of the last module "The Node Network" (speeding through implementation of more advanced blockchain topics, more chaotic approach/errors).
If both cons were remediated, I'd give 5 stars instead of 4. But overall, I'd still recommend the course.
It has been amazing, the interaction and how he takes the time to explain everything in detail

The Instructor is VERY knowledgeable, but could slow down just a bit.
