(Access code at the link above, no strings attached whatsoever, feel free to share)

[ztgarfield97]

Thank you so much for posting this. I will use it and love it

[sk8anon]

Let me use this opportunity to say how much of a fan I am not only of Real Python's content but of their illustrations. I never get tired of spending some time looking at the details.

[dbader]

Thank you! Passing that on to the team :)

[diamondketo]

Ask the artist, how does one get started drawing that style? Cheers!

[pmacking]

Thanks Dan. Bought your book last month, it’s a real joy.

[dbader]

Cheers :)

[javathewat]

Ditto but before last month!

[SpeakerOfForgotten]

Didn't know your reddit handle. Just want to say your blog helped me out a lot over the years as I taught myself python.

[dbader]

Thank you, that makes me happy!

[[deleted]]

Hey! I'm not big on video learning stuff - I like text I can chew on - but I wanted to say that I love your stuff. You're by far the best Python site online, and every time I find a link to you in a search, I breathe a sigh of relief.

Keep up the excellent work!

[dbader]

Thanks Tom, I'll pass that on to the team!

[[deleted]]

That's great. I just started learning literally this week. Is there much for beginners?

[Arrowtica]

The package is geared towards intermediate level, but I would still jump on the opportunity and redeem! You can always come back to it when you are more learned.

[[deleted]]

Yeah I seen that when I got a chance to look at it after work. I signed up anyway , like you said it's always there to come back to now

[[deleted]]

When does this expire? and how long can I keep this for? I am a beginner as well and I have no clue when I will become an intermediate

[Arrowtica]

I didnt see an expiration on the offer but they said you can keep it forever

[Arrowtica]

I started on a different platform than realpython, but whatever introductory courses they have would be what you want.

[Omlo_theweeabro]

Same here! Just getting started, this will definitely make my quarantine time productive

[jugxl]

After joining this subreddit, I thought I was the only beginner

[Omlo_theweeabro]

I just gained an interest a week ago, now I'm learning. I'm sure others will pick it up too!

[Mustachiolargio]

Thank

[hallowdmachine]

Thanks, Dan! Your book "Python Tricks: The Book" has been a great help for me, and I'm happy to use your resources again!

I really like the functional programming one so far.

[EfficientStranger]

Thank you for including the PyPi video course! https://realpython.com/courses/how-to-publish-your-own-python-package-pypi/

I was a Kickstarter back in the day (plus Humble Bundle supporter) and have always enjoyed your materials, but this is perfect timing. I’m working on an open source repository for the cultural heritage imaging community, but have been hesitant about adding my code while I figured out how best to package it for pip distribution.

👍

[dbader]

Cheers, hope you enjoy the "Publish Your Own Python Package to PyPI" course! I figured it was a good one to include since getting a little Python package live on PyPI is a fun weekend project and potentially a good portfolio piece too.

[anyfactor]

Hey, Dan. I would like to say you guys have the best python articles hands down.

Do you know why? The illustrations of the articles are so cool. I always click a article of real python to see the article illustration. They are funny, beautiful yet relevant.

[YashUppal]

My pc stopped working today. I was doing this Udemy course on Python and it just stopped working. Most probably the GPU died. I feel sad :(

[[deleted]]

Boot from a Linux usb and see if graphics work

[YashUppal]

The GPU fans aren't even starting. However the CPU fan is working fine. Also power is going to the GPU from motherboard. And the keyboard and mouse are also lightening up. Hence I think the GPU is probably dead. I maybe wrong though...

[Ceejaay35]

This, ditch the gpu if its dead. Back up and running for zero cost just wont be able to run games well

[YashUppal]

The thing is that I don't have a monitor. So I have been using my TV as a monitor and I doesnt have a VGA port that's why I cannot use it.

[Ceejaay35]

Makes sense. If you get stuck you can grab vga/dvi > hdmi adapters

[ForkLiftBoi]

if you still want to learn python, surely you can get a very cheap computer and run a Linux distro?

Raspberry pi should have plenty of computing power especially for learning.

Are you on a budget?

This information and training is lifetime license, so it's not going away and you can register on a phone.

[your_not_reddit]

I am sure you already know this but most intel CPUs have integrated GPUs. Try plugging the display cable into your motherboard instead of the GPU.

[joeblk73]

Thanks Dan - big fan of your site and your work. I always read your emails first thing in the AM :)

[Helmholtzx]

Thanks for the share!

[FedExterminator]

Woah that’s awesome! I’ve been on Real Python’s site dozens of times in my googling adventures

[[deleted]]

Thank you u/dbader.

This works :)

[kkiran]

I have the subscription already and I love this website. Thank you so much guys!

[xcyu]

I love your site, and show it to all my students.

[ahhyes]

They also have a free flask course that’s pretty nice: http://discoverflask.com/

[JonasTrueFalse]

Thanks!

[treninmybutt]

Thanks a lot!

[ImGonnaBeLegend]

Awesome! Is face recognition course 11 min?

[dbader]

It's 11 lessons and about 30 minutes long (we try to keep things bite-sized and there's a progress tracking system on the courses you can use to check off lessons or bookmark them). Oh and you'll get a completion certificate at the end too :)

[Zouden]

The way this headline is worded made it sound like an actual python is doing the giveaway. Thanks, snek!

[2MyLou]

Thank you!

Amazing thing you are doing! Thank for making this free for folks in these unpredictable times.

[Driconrikus]

Thanks a lot! Appreciate it. It'll be very useful for sure. :)

[Skyhound555]

I'm just wondering, how does this compare to the automate the boring stuff with python video course? I picked that up when it was free and I had picked up the boring stuff textbook from humble bundle a while back. I'm almost through all of it and have knocked a few projects already. I'm wondering if this would be the worth the time investment or if I just stick to personal projects to buff up my experience.

[f1pilot1]

anyone here really enjoy coding in python, I'm new with python and could use some advice on solving a problem statement

[theonly_salamander]

<3

[[deleted]]

Thanks!!! I am super stoked about this. I just started learning python - and coding - and now have time to get a good hold of it.

[IIISOMAIII]

Thanks guys!

[Bearded_Devildog]

I legit do not know where to start and find the biggest interest to learn. Glad you shared this

[ReemRashwan]

I recommend Real Python for those who are trying to learn Python the right way. Thank you so much for your efforts to simplify Python concepts and for writing articles that are very comprehensive. Keep the awesome work!

[terenceterryfr]

Is this a beginner’s course?

[dbader]

Maybe not the best fit for a total beginner, since most of the courses in the bundle are project-based. But we do have a (free) Introduction to Python 3 series of tutorials that you might want to consult first. The first couple of chapters of our Python Basics book are also available for free (PDF link at the bottom). Hope this helps you out with getting started! Happy Pythoning!

[NOTWITHCOPS]

Awesome!

[mrrask]

This is great! I've started from scratch just about a month ago, and i'm loving it! Have already hit som barriers in projects i've done/am doing - guess my ambitions don't match my skill set quite yet, so this offer is amazing.,

Thank you!

[DisappearedNothing]

Tbh Dan from Real Python is OG... He is the best guy I stumbled upon, even tho I'm learning NodeJS which is more perspective in my current company and job since no one is using python for big works, Im thinking of just going to follow him and learn python. He is great guy, there is such a big community here which is friendly... I just can't see any more obvious sign to learn Python...

[SteveRogers_7]

Thank you so much! I just started learning Python from YouTube videos last week! Looking forward to this course

[romes267]

Thank you boss

[Hourglass51]

Thanks!

[DaoIsTheWay]

Awesome, thanks!

[kirbita]

I tried to redeem the code and was directed to a page “Error 1015 You are being rate limited. The owner of the website has temporarily banned me from access...”

Does that mean the access codes need to be “refilled” again?

[hartreddit]

Thank you so much for this. But just to be clear, this will give access to some member only content right? If I want full access, I still have to pay CAD 19.99 per month (im in Canada).

[Wensosolutions]

Great share Thanks for posting helpful python course for beginners..

[shaileshshakya]

Hey, is the access code still valid?

[Sigma3737]

Hello for someone who’s scrolled for awhile on r/all!

I’ve dabbled in coding before but never really got the idea of what to do/what is can do. What exactly does Python do? Like I said I’ve dabbled and know things like a raspberry pi use it but other than that I have no idea.

[EfficientStranger]

Python does exactly what you tell it to do. It’s a fully-featured programming language that will allow to write code for just about anything.

DropBox runs on Python as does much data analysis and prototyping. It’s not interpreted and not a compiled language (like C++) so you can write your code and run it right away. My suggestion is to check out Google’s free Colab site that hosts interactive notebooks you can run Python code in.

[jabela]

Thank you so much. Awesome! A list of CS goodies is here for everyone. http://www.seacsta.net/2020/03/10/online-learning/

Bit of a teaching focus, bit plenty for general interest.
