PowerfulPython has been an incredible experience. While I've spent a lot of time working on Data Engineering and Analytics, I knew my approach to code organization needed serious improvement. Aaron Maxwell's program has been exactly what I needed to bridge that gap.Right now, I'm going through the bootcamp, and the combination of labs and code mentoring has accelerated my progress faster than I ever expected. I've taken other courses before, but non have delivered this much valuable information in such a short time. Aaron gets straight to the point, cutting out distractions and focusing only on what truly matters.For anyone looking to sharpen their Python skills, this program is a game-changer.
What a really terrific bootcamp! Powerful Python Bootcamp will be helpful to me in multifaceted ways:1) It introduced me to OOP in a far more rigorous way that I have previously encountered. 2) It provided a little more experience in usage of git for software version control.3) It demonstrated the really interesting and useful-to-me python Test Driven Development tools.4) It introduced argparse and a few other tools such as the python module "process" and other useful-to-me python builtin tools.5) It provided a powerful understanding of using python generators for code scalability.6 It illuminated the sometimes confusing and murky area of python module creation and management.7) It stretched my experience into python arenas that I would have been reluctant to make a foray: especially using modules like Flask and JSON as applied to a RESTful API server. That said, I really was thankful to have pressed forward, not the least for having to get a database up and working...a real plus! A few more words about the api sever coding in my version of the bootcamp: I must admit that the Live-Coding An API Server was a challenging course. I mostly coded along with the videos...this code-along approach that I took presented a course difficulty level somewhere between the easy and hard modes that were indicated in the course notes. No joke: a great experience.I will go back through most of the course videos in the near future as I immediately plow forward into a particular research area with a few colleagues. A final point concerning videos: The video-captured mentoring experience that Powerful Python provided was enormous...it alone was worth a great deal in terms of value-added...and as a supernumerary: I can refer back to previous mentoring sessions as needed, as well as access any future bootcamp mentoring session videos at will!The advantage that Powerful Python has given me will probably pay for itself many times over during the long haul, yet my new knowledge base will immediately be challenged and fruitfully applied in my current work. One thing is sure: I am far more capable of deciphering complex python code when I encounter it, and because of what I learned in Powerful Python Bootcamp, I now stand on firmer ground that will lead to big success in my scientific coding efforts.I highly recommend the Powerful Python Bootcamp.
1 Helps Stay in Zone: It was very engaging and helped me stay focused on exercises 2. Time Efficient: The videos and exercises helped me learn advanced concepts in python very quickly (less investment in time) 3. Boosts Confidence: It made me very confident and I could read code written by others and understand it easily and quickly. 4. Great Mentoring: Powerful Python helped me stay on track and helped me complete the course successfully through mentoring calls.I would highly recommend it to anyone who wants to acquire advanced skills in python in short amount of time. RESPECT FOR AARON: Thanks to Aaron for his course content and guidance. This course is VERY POWERFUL
Before registering for the Powerful Python Academy course, I was skeptical. However, after completing the course, I considered myself fortunate that I took that decision. So many people can know the complex concepts, but very few can teach those in a simple form, and Aaron is one of them. He is undoubtedly an outstanding teacher. The way he held my hand from start to finish was fantastic. The course content is well structured, and the videos are well-paced and clear/concise. In addition, exercises were carefully designed so that I was able to learn the complex concepts bit by bit. Thank you, Aaron, for creating and delivering such an excellent course. I would highly recommend this course to someone who wants to level up his skill to the next level.
I really enjoyed Powerful Python Academy. The course is designed to take you from the beginner level to an intermediate and even advanced level in 3 months. Of course, the student must put the necessary effort to achieve such goals. I had some Python foundation before taking this course. However, Powerful Python taught me a lot more by diving deep into classes, test driven developments, generators, dependency management and especially guiding the programmer to write a complex program from scratch.
This is an absolute master class in Python. You will simply not find another Python class that presents such advanced material in such an easy-to-grasp manner. The videos lectures are top notch, and the exercises do a phenomenal job of reinforcing the concepts taught. As a software architect with 20+ years of experience, I can tell you with absolute certainty that if you have a foundation in Python and are looking for one class to take your game to the next level, this is the class you should take.
Aaron Maxwell's collection of Python courses are great! They skip the repetitive beginner stuff that every Python book has, and gets to the point quickly. He teaches you at a professional level, but it is still a very clear and understandable level. You will level up fast if you put in the work.He uses a fantastic "labs" format to get you to really practice and learn the content. He writes unit tests, and you write the code to make the tests pass. It's extremely effective and enjoyable.I've learned a ton of production-worthy techniques. For example, the average Python tutorial will teach you how to read and use decorators. Aaron will get you to understand them, be able to write them, and then bend them to your absolute will to do amazing things!His coverage of generators has also transformed the way I work with geometry and graphics in Python.
I'm half-way through the Powerful Python Academy material. I'm a mid-career geoscientist with no comp-sci background but a passion for reproducibility and documentation. When I started the program, I only had taken Python for Everybody (Coursera), and I had watched a few Scipy conference tutorials.I always wanted to know how Python developers were able to write such amazing and extensive libraries, but I couldn't find the right fit. Most material out there is either too broad (books) or too narrow (blog post). PPA offered an opinionated approach to software development in Python, with lots of exercises and direct feedback from Aaron (PPA creator). In this case, opinionated is an excellent approach as it guides you to learn what matters to get your job done, without worrying about obscure methods or practices that are almost never used.The academy moved me from Python enthusiast to Pythonista. From the individual classes in PPA, I value: OOP: I learned the principles of OOP software design. Now I can read other people's codebase and be able to understand what they are doing and why (most of the time). I've also rewritten some of my work using these principles, and the software clarity and brevity gained is unbelievable compared to the way I wrote them before knowing OOP, i.e. using functions only (procedural programming). Before the class, I had very little knowledge of OOP. Knowing OOP is crucial in Python, and this class lays the foundations clearly and succinctly, which is perfect, just focusing on the critical aspects. I learned about inheritance, dunder methods, member variables, and methods, how and when to use @staticmethod and @classmethod, separation of concern, access control, setter, and getter methods, check class arguments on instantiation... TDD: Untested code is broken code. The biggest realization for me in this class was that to build or contribute to a large codebase, one must rely on tests. Also, tests will save us from embarrassing mistakes in simple calculations, so whether big or small, I learned to always test my code. Scaling with generators: Here lies a key to memory-efficient code called scalable composability. It was nice to learn the syntax for most common generator types, but the real money is in learning how to use them to prevent your code from freezing by leveraging lazy evaluation and composability. It also really helps to see how a Python expert developer writes code, as he walks you through the concepts and reasons to write in such way, e.g. think of the many ways one can read a file into a Python object, which one is best? Why?If you are looking to up your Python game, and like I got frustrated trying to understand how things work just by reading the docs, please do yourself a favor a set the time to go over PPA. It will change your life.
Powerful Python Academy is a well structured approach to tackling intermediate and advanced Python and programming topics. I have gained a better grasp of object orient programming and approaches for implementing test driven development. The exercises and labs provide practical examples and allow you to observe your Python skills "leveling up" as you successfully complete each assignment.I highly recommend this course for anyone seeking to take their Python skills to the next level.
