What is this course about?
The Python Mega Course is an online course that uses a hands-on teaching approach which has proved to be very successful with thousands of students who have taken the course, built their own programs, and even found a Python job afterward. With 50,000+ student reviews and an outstanding 4.6 average rating, this learning package guarantees you will become a Python programmer after successful completion. The course focuses on teaching you Python by building real-world Python programs. That way, you learn the language syntax, but most importantly, you will learn the actual skill of designing and building real-life programs.
Will I be able to find a job after completing this course?
That is up to how you take the course. Simply watching the videos is not enough. You should try the code on your computer, change it, rerun it, improve it further, fix the bugs, try making a similar app, and ask questions in the Q&A when you get stuck. You will be guided through that entire process, so don’t worry about falling off track.
I don’t know anything about programming. Will I still be able to learn Python?
Yes. This course assumes you have no previous knowledge of programming. Whenever a new programming term emerges in the lectures, we will first explain it academically. Then we use it practically in a real-world code example and reuse it in exercises until you learn everything by heart.
I know Python basics. Is this course for me?
Yes. The first 12 sections of the course cover Python basics. The other 27 sections cover intermediate and advanced Python, and you can jump right into those sections if you know the basics.
What are the ten applications that students will build?
The ten apps covered in the course are: (1) A volcano web map generator, (2) an object detector app that detects moving objects from your computer live webcam, (3) a personal website built with Python and Flask, (4) a book inventory desktop GUI app that has an SQL database backend, (5) a data analysis and visualization dashboard that processes thousands of data records, (6) a mobile app that runs on Android and iOS devices, (7) a program that scrapes data from multiple webpages containing listings of real-estate properties for sale, (8) a web app that collects users’ data via a form and sends users emails, (9) a blog and a translator web app with Django, and (10) a web app that processes Excel files and lets users download the processed files.
What does the content include?
The course is designed around mastering Python by building ten applications that vary from simple to complex. The ten apps are carefully served to students through a combination of videos, coding exercises, quizzes, code notebooks, cheat sheets, and unlimited support from the instructor and the teaching assistant in the course forum. You will also receive an invitation to join our Discord server to chat with other fellow students, participate in code challenges, and get help when you need it to make sure you stay tuned and motivated.
Can we use the apps to build our own portfolio?
Yes, you can publish the apps in your own GitHub private or public account. However, I recommend changing or adding something to the app to make it unique and really yours. Changing or adding something new will also immensely help your learning.
How often is the course updated?
If the code in a video does not work because a new version of Python is released or a new version of a Python third-party package breaks the current code, that video is immediately updated with a new one.
How much time will I need to complete the course?
It is recommended to watch 30 minutes of video content per day, followed by two hours of independent work and exercise activities provided along with the videos. The course has 33 hours of video, so it should take you three months to complete the course, considering you study five days a week. If you want to speed up the process, I recommend watching up to 1 hour of content, but not more, followed by 4 hours of independent work and exercises.
What if I get stuck?
You can drop a question in the Q&A, and the instructor or the teaching assistant will answer your questions within the same day. You can also use the chat in the course Discord server to ask questions and chat with fellow students about Python.
What if I don’t like the course?
That will likely not happen. But, if it does, you are covered by the Udemy 30-day money-back guarantee, so you can quickly return the course. No questions asked.
Does this course cover Python 2 or Python 3?
Python 3.
What IDE/editor is used in the course?
We will use Visual Studio Code in the course. However, many students prefer to use their favorite IDE. PyCharm, Atom, and even IDLE will work fine.
Do I need Windows, Mac, or Linux to take the course?
The operating system does not matter. The code covered in the videos will work 100% the same in all operating systems.
Does the course expire?
No. Once you buy the course, it is yours. You will get all future updates for free as well.
Are other students happy with the course?
Best way to find that out is to look at the student reviews. Here are some of them:
“I tried a few online Python courses and can say with certainty this is the best thing I came across. This content is delivered and explained in amazing way- at the end of each section you are left with comprehensive understanding of what you just did- which is something that lacks in a lot of online courses. Apart from great teacher you also get quite a lot of material- I compared this course with couple of bootcamps priced at several thousands of pounds and there’s not much difference in what you take away. Highly recommended!! – Bartosz Bobnis
“This class is the perfect blend of beginner and advanced. I have learned a lot about Python but this lets me apply it! highly recommend! UPDATED A year later I have a job in the field and still, come back to reference his stuff! Great work”! – Taylor Ferguson
“Am just starting the first megaproject. I feel very well equipped with the basics of python and am happy with my coding proficiency at this point. The instructor’s practice of teaching small chunks with blocks of coding practice is very effective. Especially useful was learning how to use the python help feature effectively, it saved me hours of online searching. I’m looking forward to the projects. 10/25 Working on SQL app and still lovin’ it. Have learned about what certain modules are good for”. – Richard Trump
Who this course is for:
- Those with no prior knowledge of Python.
- Those who know Python basics and want to master Python

First of all, thank you so much! I loved this course and I am so glad I found it. It is always so pleasant to learn from someone that has a lot of knowledge but is 100 times better when that persons have the gift of begging a great teacher.
I am now so looking forward to take your OOP course which I am sure I will also love it!
Harsh Patel –
The course is really good learned a lot. Since I was new to coding the course gave a gist of almost everything to expect from this field and wasn’t a bummer while learning. Also, the trainer’s efforts and knowledge was on point. Amazing! Enjoyed a lot.
Himraj Das –
This is my first course in programming and This is the best course. Thank you so much sir for this beautiful course. You are rock sir. I get the perfect start for python because of you. Anyone who want to learn python just buy the course. 10 stars from me.
Joseph Mueras –
Ardit is an amazing teacher! I highly recommend everyone to take this course because I has helped me so much! Thank you, Ardit!

I’m about half way through the course now, and intend to finish, because of course I have paid for it, and I am learning things, despite the reservations which I’m going to mention here. I think that this course is fine for someone who’s wanting to try some practical applications of Python without worrying too much about the theoretical underpinnings, but if you are the type of person who gets annoyed/frustrated by incomplete explanations, you will sometimes get wound up by this course. This is happening to me, but I’ll try to purge that feeling by letting it all out here in what I think is a fairly balanced review.
I had studied a bit of Python in the past, and in fact I managed to scrape a 60% pass on the initial quiz, but since a lot of my correct answers were based on hazy recollections rather than any confident grounding, I thought it would be best to go back and revise the basics. And I’m sorry to say that I found those first twelve sections not especially helpful. First of all, he speaks far too quickly, so I had to slow him down to 75%. Secondly I just didn’t find his explanations of the basics at all rigorous, so I also decided to join Andrei Dumitrescu’s Python course. You could possibly criticise Andrei from the opposing side, for being a bit slow at times and a little overly theoretical, not giving enough examples of practical applications. But one thing that is for sure is that Andrei wouldn’t do something like Ardit does in Lecture #190, where he suddenly (absolutely for the first time) mentions decorators, “__name__” and “__main__”, but does hardly anything to explain what they are. By contrast, Andrei gives a very methodical account of decorators, which I shall go back to and watch again, now that I’ve come up against them here. So even if Andrei’s course is a bit slow sometimes, and yes a little lacking in practical real world uses, I would still say that it’s better to err on that side of the line.
I suppose I can’t really complain too much. I’m getting a good theoretical background from one course, and lots of practical stuff here, so the two are quite complementary to each other. I just think that it’s a little harder to accept when explanations are rather sloppy or even entirely lacking (it’s noticeable that Ardit quite often says “You get the idea” when I’m sure that plenty of students haven’t at all). Then again, if you’re OK with using this course as a starting point and going off elsewhere for explanations, you definitely will learn plenty. I just think that it could be much more clearly structured. The first sections are not rigorous and methodical enough for an absolute beginner to follow, and then in the later sections there tends to be some unnecessary repetition. I think I’ve been told three times by now how to install Jupyter. Fair enough – I know that people will skip around, but you know – a lot of people are using this course, and I think that it’s OK to say that some work should be done to improve the overall structure. Enough said – I know that nobody is ever going to read this anyway. I’m only writing it for myself in the end!
John Paul S –
very practical. one step at a time. eases the learner into programming without overloading them with too many concepts. each lesson builds on the previous. well thought through
Carlos Alegrias –
The course was great, I got what I expected it was definitely worth it. The only Issue I had was that in adding content and moving videos around there were inconsistencies in a couple of places, for example on the excruciatingly long bonus exercises (S34) there were questions about the usage of the difflib library that was only explained on an example in section 35. Sections 35,36,37 felt repetitive and in my opinion I would’ve preferred not to have them. I also left a note because in section 31 the video states that sending an email was explained before, but it wasn’t.
Overall the quality of the course was excellent and I appreciate the effort from the instructor, it fulfilled all my expectations.
Tomas Man –
Thanks for the course, it was a nice ride. Now I feel more confident in Python programming and at the end of the course I have my first job offer as a software developer.
One thing I’v been missing was the emphasis on best practices and especially PEP8.
Rodrigo Guerreiro Ponte –
I really enjoyed the course. I feel like I already had sufficient python experience under my belt, and felt like this course added greatly to that experience. Specifically I had never used Django, Bokeh, and JustPy, and this course showed me these amazing libraries which now have become my favourites for their respective tasks. However, I felt like sometimes, the course was rushed, especially in the section covering the basics. I feel like more small projects could be implement to teach the basics (besides the 10 apps). Also, I sometimes found myself looking for a website or a specific documentation that could have easily been accessible through the course resourses.
And I would like to point out that having an instructor actually responding to comments and doubts and helping out with bugs and giving suggestions is simply amazing. I respect the immense effort I image it takes to respond to each user of the course whenever possible. Few (if any) courses do that. Great work from Ardit and David.
Mehdi Miah –
Great instructor, he goes through everything in detail but not enough to bore you and make you feel like you should start skipping things.
Always learning new things from ardit and I love the way he teaches.
He touches all bases when teaching and when asking questions David his teaching assistant is always on the case and or any of the lovely community here.
He updates the course regularly and leave some old stuff in so you get more for your money.
I will be purchasing more courses from you my ardit.
Thank you for supporting me on my journey to become a full stack developer

Oleksandr Yanov –
Great course. Topics covered in detail.
What I liked is that author makes mistakes on purpose and describes the process of problem identification and resolving. As fixing and debugging take 90% of the time of my programming tasks – these moments are invaluable.
I liked that there are training exercises, where the author proposes to write a solution by himself and after that shows how it can be done.
If you have experience in programming, I recommend you to watch video on 1.5 speed, pausing when you want to try code and if you feel that the next task author is going to do is up to your knowledge – pause and try to code it by yourself. If you are stuck for more than 30 minutes – continue watching the video course.
Michael Jełowicki –
It’s one of the best programming courses I have ever done. One suggestion from me would be to add more exercises and homeworks. It makes you practice what you have just learned and develops your understanding of the subject.
