Python Crash Course

Learn how to write programs in Python! We’ll cover all the building blocks: variables, functions, lists, loops, dictionaries, higher-order functions, and object-oriented programming. Along the way, you’ll build decision-making algorithms, photo filters, procedural text generators, and data visualizations.

Pamela Fox

Lecturer, UC Berkeley

Pamela Fox loves to learn, teach, and create. She’s currently a UC Berkeley lecturer, teaching a Python class to 1000+ students each semester. Previously, at Khan Academy, she created all of the programming courses and also helped develop the interactive platform for teaching programming in Python/JS. In her role before that as one of Coursera’s first frontend developers, she coded much of the original student-facing experience (also in Python/JS!). Her first job was at Google, as one of the first developer advocates, showing developers how to use their APIs in JS, Python, and many other languages.

Course success stories

Learn together and share experiences with other industry professionals

I was totally new to Python and the Co:rise instructors, community, and projects pushed me to become a functional Python user in a month. Highly effective, fun, and challenging learning experience.

Mike ParrishAI/ML Program Manager at Expedia Group

Pamela's courses are simply a joy. Her style is playful and sincere with unique projects and examples. She brings a ton of in-industry as well as teaching experience, which means she is able to deliver content in a way that is accessible to newbies but also not out of touch with what is going on in the industry. I look up to Pamela as a role model for how to teach, and I am the developer and teacher I am today largely because of her influence on me early in my career. If you have the opportunity to take one of her courses, I highly recommend it!

Bianca GandolfoInstructor for Frontend Masters

Pamela's course provides an engaging, hands-on introduction to programming with Python. The materials are well-thought out and approachable to anyone at any skill level. The projects are fun and engaging while providing experience relevant to real-world situations. I highly recommend it!

Brett SlatkinAuthor of Effective Python

An amazing experience as a newbie in programming. A great team that truly wants you to thrive when starting to learn Python.

Lucy Ruiz Project Manager at AstraZeneca

Learning Python in this day and age is a must for not just software engineers anymore. I couldn't think of a better teacher to take the first steps on this path than Pamela Fox. Since her days as one of the first developer supporters on the Google Maps API, Pamela is known as a teacher who deeply cares about making her students successful. Learn Python and let Pamela teach you!

Douwe OsingaAuthor of Deep Learning Cookbook

This course was incredibly well-run, with an abundance of support given from the education team!

Jamie HarrisColor of Change

Pamela is an amazing instructor, always makes things feel less daunting then they otherwise would be with a calming voice. I knew nothing about coding as I entered this course. Everything was very well explained and the coursework and projects made me implement things in a way that helped me retain the past week's information.

In the Python Crash Course you not only learn a programming language, but also become a part of a community where people help each other advance faster.

Veronika AndreevaSenior Software Engineer at EPAM Systems

Everyone at Uplimit was helpful and very attentive to messages/questions. The material was well covered; the projects were challenging but were helpful as a tool to learn and apply the material. The lectures were great and the community supportive and encouraging. I enjoyed the past 4 weeks learning about Python!
