Meet your instructor
Hi! I'm Andrei.
Senior Software Developer turned Instructor, Founder of ZTM
Andrei is the instructor of some of the highest rated programming courses on the web. Some of his students (200,000+ in the past 2 years) now work for some of the biggest tech companies around the world like Apple, Google, Amazon, Tesla, IBM and UNIQLO.
He has worked as a Senior Software Developer in Silicon Valley and Toronto for many years and is now taking all that he has learned to teach programming skills and to help you discover the amazing career opportunities that being a developer allows in life.
Don't take our word for it
Caroline Chen
Another excellent course from Andrei. I had to learn Python for some new projects at work and I'd say this course is the best one yet. I took the Complete Web Developer course last year and landed a Software Developer job after only 6 months (from having zero programming experience). Discovering Andrei's courses has been the best move of my career so far. Thank you Andrei!
Natalia Marek
The course is amazing. I tried so many other courses (Codecademy, EdX, Coursera, Udacity) but none of them gave me as much as this course. I have been recommending it to so many people, so that they don't have to make the mistake I did, and waste their time on another course.
Ryan Boris
Another excellent course from Andrei! So happy that he added this to the series and like all the other courses, it goes above and beyond and then some. The course provides authentic, real-world based work and topics, blended with the right amount of academic theory that is current to bleeding-edge. Thanks again for all your hard work on this and all the courses and community you provide, Andrei!
Edward Gonzalez
Awesome course! It is very comprehensive--it covers pretty much all the areas of programming. It is entertaining and very well organized. Not only gives you the fundamentals, but also it gives you a taste of what you can do with the tools you learn. If you are learning programming, this is one of the best courses to take.
Feraud Hamid
This course starts out with the nuts and bolts for all to follow along. It then moves on to more advance stuff and then culminates with excellent projects. The instructor explains the concepts well and lays the foundation for students to build on. This is how it is in the real world. Overall, great instructor, great course.
Krzysztof Bulanowski
Great course by Andrei, not only teaching syntax, but giving insight into many Python fields and different projects. I think it's great for beginners in programming and also for someone with some experience coming from other languages to grasp python syntax and practices. You also get access to the large community and additional resources shared by Andrei.

Course Details
Become a complete Python developer! This is a brand new Python course launched in September 2019 and updated for 2020. Join thousands of other students taking this course taught by an industry expert that has worked both in Silicon Valley and Toronto. Graduates of Andrei’s courses are now working at Google, Amazon, Apple, IBM, Tesla, Facebook and other top tech companies.
Learn Python from scratch, get hired, and have fun along the way with the most modern, up-to-date Python course on the web (we use the latest version of Python). This course is focused on efficiency—don't spend time on confusing, out of date, or incomplete Python tutorials anymore.
This comprehensive and project-based course will introduce you to all of the modern skills of a Python developer (Python 3) and along the way, we will build over 12 real-world projects to add to your portfolio (you will get access to all of the code from each project we build so that you can put them in your portfolio right away).
The curriculum is very hands-on as we walk you from start to finish of becoming a professional Python developer. We will start from the very beginning by teaching you Python basics and programming fundamentals, and then we'll go into advanced topics and different career fields in Python so you can get real-life practice and be ready for the real world.
The topics covered in this course are:
- Programming Fundamentals
- Python Basics
- Python Fundamentals
- Data Structures
- Object Oriented Programming with Python
- Functional Programming with Python
- Lambdas
- Decorators
- Generators
- Testing in Python
- Debugging
- Error Handling
- Regular Expressions
- Comprehensions
- Modules
- Virtual Environments
- Developer Environments (PyCharm, Jupyter Notebooks, VS Code, Sublime Text + more)
- File Processing: Image, CSV, PDFs, Text + more
- Web Development with Python
- Machine Learning with Python
- Data Science with Python
- Automation with Python and Selenium
- Scripting with Python
- Web Scraping with Python and BeautifulSoup
- Image Detection
- Data Visualizations
- Kaggle, Pandas, NumPy, scikit-learn
- Email and SMS with Python
- Working with APIs (Twitter Bot, Password Checker, Translator)
By the end of this course you will be a complete Python developer that can get hired at large companies. We are going to use Python to work with email, text messages, CSV files, PDF files, image files, data visualizations, build our own machine learning model as well as perform image detection. We will also build a web scraper for HackerNews, build a Twitter bot, build the most secure password checker, and we will also build some automation tools using Selenium. But the best part? We will build an actual portfolio website using Python that your future employer and customers can contact you at. By the end, you will have a stack of projects that you have built that you can show off to others.
Here’s the truth: most courses teach you Python and do just that. They show you how to get started, but then you don’t know where to go from there or how to build your own projects.
Whether you are new to programming, looking to level up your Python skills, or are coming from a different programming language, this course is for you. This course is not about making you just code along without understanding the principles so that when you are done with the course you don’t know what to do other than watch another tutorial. No! This course will push you and challenge you to go from an absolute beginner with no coding experience to someone that can go off, forget about me, and build their own applications and get hired.
See you inside the course!
Answers to (at least some of) your questions
Are there any prerequisites for this course?
A computer (Windows/Mac/Linux). That's it! No previous programming experience or prior knowledge of Python is needed. You just need to be prepared to fall in love with Python and programming!
Who is this course for?
- Anyone who wants to master Python 3
- Anyone who wants to learn to code
- Anyone looking to level up their skills and master a new programming language
- Anyone who wants to get into: Web Development, Machine Learning, Data Science and other hot job markets
Do you provide a certificate of completion?
We definitely do.
Can I use the course projects in my portfolio?
Yes, you’d be crazy not to in our slightly biased opinion! All projects are downloadable and ready to use the minute you join. Many of our students tell us the projects they built while following along with our courses were what got them interviews and because they built the projects themselves, they could confidently explain and walk through their work during the interview. You know what that means? Job offer!
Can I download the videos?
Definitely. You can download any and all lessons for personal use. We do everything we can to make learning easy, fun, and accessible whether that’s on your commute, on a flight or you just have limited access to good wifi.
How long does it usually take for me to build something and get hired?
Ultimately you’re the only can that can control that. However, while everyone learns at a different pace, students who put in a couple hours each day to apply what they’ve learned should be able to confidently build their own projects and start interviewing in 3-6 months. We don’t see just getting hired as the end goal though. Our advanced courses will also teach you the topics and skills you need to get promoted or hired as a senior developer.

Live the life you want, starting now
Learning to code and becoming a developer provides endless opportunities to live the life you want. Whether that’s a high paying job with a world-class tech company, working remotely or building your own apps, the ZTM Academy will equip you with the skills and knowledge to achieve your dreams.
Our courses walk you through the entire journey of starting to learn to code to having a successful career as a developer. Along the way, you’ll not only be supported by Andrei, Yihua and course TAs but also your peers in the exclusive Zero To Mastery community.
