If you’ve been using Python for more than one year, and feel comfortable with all of the basic data structures, functions, and objects — then this course is for you.
We go wider and deeper than most other courses, looking both at how core data structures are implemented and at advanced containers that you’ll learn to love and use.
You’ll see how functions are built, how scoping works, and how you can use inner functions to simplify your code. And you’ll go deep inside of Python’s object-oriented facilities, using magic methods, properties, and descriptors. We’ll also look at other aspects of Python, including iterators, generators, and decorators.
This bundle is based on the advanced course I have been giving at Fortune 500 companies around the world for more than two decades. If you’ve been looking to improve your Python skills beyond the basics, this course is for you.
Feel comfortable with strings, lists, and dicts? Go beyond the basics, digging into how they work and how to use them better.

There’s much more to Python functions than “def”. Learn how functions really work, including advanced parameters and scoping.
Link
Go beyond the basics of object-oriented Python. Understand how the object system is implemented under the hood, and how to use that knowledge for cleaner, more idiomatic, more efficient code.
Link
Understand how “for” loops work — and how to implement your own iterable objects

Reuven is a full-time Python trainer. In a given year, he teaches courses at companies in the United States, Europe, Israel, India, and China — as well as to people around the world, via his online courses.
Reuven created one of the first 100 Web sites in the world just after graduating from MIT’s computer science department. He opened Lerner Consulting in 1995, and has been offering training services since 1996.
In 2020, Reuven published “Python Workout,” a collection of Python exercises with extensive explanations, published by Manning. He’s currently finishing edits on “Pandas Workout,” a similar collection of exercises using the “Pandas” library for data analytics.
Reuven’s free, weekly “Better developers” newsletter, about Python and software engineering, is read by more than 30,000 developers around the globe. His “Trainer weekly” newsletter is popular among people who give corporate training.
Reuven’s most recent venture is Bamboo Weekly: Every Wednesday, he presents a problem based on current events, using a public data set. And every Thursday, he shared detailed solutions to those problems using Pandas.
Reuven’s monthly column appeared in Linux Journal from 1996 until the magazine’s demise in 2019. He was also a panelist on both the Business of Freelancing and Freelancers Show podcasts.
Reuven has a bachelor’s degree in computer science and engineering from MIT, and a PhD in learning sciences from Northwestern University. He lives in Modi’in, Israel with his wife and three children.
I send a full-length Python article to more than 30,000 people each week — on topics ranging from iterators to descriptors, variable assignment to sets, exceptions to command-line arguments. Join me, and get smarter about Python each week!
