Git is a powerful version-control system, allowing you to undo mistakes, work with earlier versions of your code, and collaborate with other developers seamlessly.
That’s the good news. The bad news is that Git is notoriously hard for people to learn. That’s partly because you have to know how Git works under the hood in order to truly use it. And because the commands and terminology used in Git are confusing and surprising, especially for people with experience using other version-control systems.
This course, which I’ve given for many years at Fortune 500 companies, will help you to understand how Git works, how you can and should use it, what the best practices are for working on your own and with a group, and how to collaborate with others using GitHub. When you’re done with this course, Git won’t be a pain in the neck that you’re forced to use; it’ll be an indispensible tool in your developer toolbox.

I’m a one-person company dedicated to improving your career via Python and related technologies. If you haven’t gotten value from any of my courses, then just tell me — and I’ll refund your money.
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.
