Micro Apps with Python - Online Bootcamp

Go from a Python Beginner to a Software Engineer

Confidence in building your own app Upskill to Advanced Python Developer Lifetime access

1. Thoughtful exercises designed to make me hit çommon' pitfalls which challenged me to actively engage, ask questions, debug and resolve issues along the way. This 'forced' me to actively learn, test things and retain information better. 2. Even though the scope for the course was defined, you were happy to discuss 'design decisions', alternatives, and the 'what-if(s)' your mentees posed in the live sessions and asynchronously on Slack. Those discussions were 'golden'. It helped me balance learning in a messy but meaningful way without being overwhelmed with heavy topics - something I really struggled with in the past. 3. When things got hard, you were there to encourage me to keep working on the problem or offer a fresh perspective while keeping things simple - another secret ingredient that was missing from my previous learning recipes. 4. You were open to feedback and questions and helped normalize 'figuring-out stuff on the fly - something I used to feel ashamed of. I feel significantly less anxious now and feel I am managing my impostor syndrome better after the Bootcamp. (Personal growth, yay)

You learned python, picked one of the best tutorials online, and aced through it. You loved Python and decided it was the one. But you ended up feeling completely lost when you tried to do your own project. It feels as if you have learned nothing. 

You wonder if those hours you have spent on learning the language are utter waste. You switch to other online resources, books that teach Python, but the result are the same. By this time, either it feels like a steep climb, or you have concluded programming not something that’s meant for you.

👩‍💻 Why do I teach this course?

I was in your shoes. I took courses, read blogs, and watched YouTube tutorials. But I felt like hitting a wall every time I wanted to start my own project. There is nothing that crushes your confidence other than staring at a blank screen. Sounds relatable?

Today I am a Python Engineer, building backend systems for the past 5 years. I contributed to open-source projects like Pandas, Rasa, and Airflow. I speak at international conferences, and I am also a Linkedin Instructor with a course on Chatbots with Azure.

For me, things changed when one of my friends sat me down and walked me through every step of building an application. Through this Cohort, I want to be that friend who helps you build an idea into a functional Python application.
What is a Cohort?
A cohort is a small group of students who work together through a curriculum to achieve the same learning objective.

This Bootcamp was a quick restart and confidence gaining experience. I started off by brushing up my python and SQL basics got started off for 4 weeks of Bootcamp activities. Pointers from each week got me ready to work on independent little applications. Working on Flask SqlAlchemy was very new to me but I was able to develop an end-to-end backend application. Bhavani is very knowledgeable and knows how to navigate and help when we are stuck at any point in the project. I wish her all the best in all her endeavors.

I have gone through Python tutorials/completed courses is that enough?
Yes, if you have taken any basic Python course/followed through a tutorial before that's good enough. The Bootcamp will also have a refresher session to brush up on basic Python
Will you pick a sample project for us? Cause i have no idea what project to build
We usually do an idea storming session on the 1st week to come up with an idea for the app to build. If you are cannot fixate on an idea even after the session, you can pick one from the predefined list of ideas.
What effort should I put from my side?
Apart from the 2-hour session, 2 focused hour by yourself have given people wonderful results in the past Every session consists of a bit of knowledge + Application Exercise(Hand holding) + Assignments(Try on your own) Each week's work builds on the top of the previous one, so doing these challenges will be essential. I will be a slack message away anytime you get stuck.
What's the timing of the sessions?
The timing of the session would be decided by the cohort collaboratively. Tentatively it will be from 11AM - 1 PM IST on Saturday. But I'm open to change it based on what works best for the batch

This is a one-time fee. You will only be charged once.
