Programming is becoming more and more popular all around the world. Programming provides extreme amounts of power and flexibility, because you can take control of your computer’s actual power, and you can develop your own systems and prototypes.
Python is becoming especially popular, because it’s extremely user-friendly whilst still maintaining a lot of the power that other, more complex, programming languages offer. Additionally, Python has a huge community, which means all sorts of modern projects, such as Big Data, Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, Deep Learning, etc. have been developed for the Python community to use, which makes implementing these sorts of advanced techniques extremely easy (sometimes only 1-2 lines of code). You can even build games in Python that games made with Python have become really popular!
Employers love employees that can program, because they can go out and quickly produce results or create prototypes. The ability to program will not only open you up to new opportunities, but it will also become a better logical thinker, since computers operate on logical statements, so a good programmer has a natural thought flow that is very logical.

Excellent Python bootcamp
Max did a great job. This was one of my favorite courses I’ve taken, so far.
Max covered all of the basics, as well as diving into some of the more complex elements of python (creating a game using classes and pygame module).
For an absolute beginner, it’s possible that some of the concepts/techniques, later in the tutorial, maybe too much to take all at once, but Max does a great job of making it understandable.
I highly recommend this course to anyone looking to learn python, or even to anyone already familiar with python but wanting to dig a little deeper.
Well done Max!!
