Dear Fellow Python Lover,
Let me tell you a story...
Because a few years ago, I was frustrated...
I was happily coding in Python...
But I realized I'd hit a wall...
And it drove me bonkers...
So I Did Something Drastic...
I gathered up all the most famous libraries in the Python ecosystem...
Django, Pytest, Flask, Pandas, SQLAlchemy, Requests, Twisted, and more...
And as I "cracked open" their Python source code...
(Fueled by plenty of rich, caffeine-packed, fresh-brewed coffee...)
I did a "deep dive" of the code patterns these highly successful, extremely well crafted libraries used.
You see, there is a layer of Python that only a tiny fraction of coders, developers and engineers ever tap into.
And the developers who write these libraries are...
NOT Normal.
The committers on these exceptional Python code bases are the best of the best...
The top one percent of the top one percent of all Python developers on the face of planet Earth...
And I found these exceptional software systems used a "layer" of Python not commonly used.
This layer is called:
Metaprogramming.
Meta-what, now? Let me explain.
Normally you write Python code that operates on data...
But with metaprogramming, you write Python code that operates on other Python code.
This lets you tap into profound leverage and power. To the point you are almost writing code in a different language...
Potent abstractions expressing in a few lines what normally took me dozens or hundreds of lines of code to write.
Spectacular patterns of code reuse, enabled by fascinating new code constructs...
Even allowing you to pull apart hopelessly inter-tangled concerns in your code base, not possible to separate any other way.
This sheer elegance in code is not just beautiful in its own right...
But brimming with practical engineering benefits of readability, expressiveness, maintainability, and impressively easy code reuse.
These Are The Keys To Truly Leveling Up.
Here's what you'll learn in this advanced, challenging, pro-grade Python course:
- Advanced techniques for writing Python code that transforms, augments, amplifies, remodels and enhances other Python code
- How your code can call functions and methods in powerfully generic, even meta-programmable ways...
- And the UNIQUE tools and considerations for doing this in Python
- Programmatically building argument sets to pass to functions and methods at runtime
- The "function object" abstraction... And how it lies at the core of Python
- Working with "key functions" for blazing-fast development of clearly readable, robust, and maintainable algorithms
- A detailed, thorough instruction in how to write Python decorators... an intoxicatingly powerful tool, that lets you add rich features and behavior around large groups of functions and methods
- New "mental models" for how to think about functions in Python... that allow you to see whole new universes of idioms and Pythonic design patterns
This "Mental Model" Part Is Important.
Because it is something you rarely see even in advanced professional training.
To quote myself from my own book, Powerful Python, and published by O'Reilly:
"The difference between elite engineers and "normal" coders lies in the distinctions they make, the mental models they leverage, and their ability to perceive what others cannot."
This applies to Next-Level Python more than any other Powerful Python course... and as far as I have seen, more than ANY course for coding ANYWHERE.
As software developer Liam put it:
"Unlocking a part of the brain can be a rare occurrence, especially for many programmers. Most courses rarely aim to unlock your brain...
Next-Level Python is not one of those courses. This course will expose a whole new way of thinking when writing your code."
This is one way Next-Level Python is truly unique, and unlike any other technical training you have experienced before.
Back to what you learn:
- A unique "rapid-learning" method for quickly mastering the basics of writing your own decorators in a half hour or less...
- Instead of the grueling weeks, months, or even YEARS it normally takes people to figure out even the basic patterns..
- A mind-blowing (there's no other way to put it) understanding of decorators that take arguments...
- Letting you not only crank them out at will, but understand what you're doing more deeply than Pythonistas who have been writing decorators for YEARS
- How to implement decorators as classes... The nuanced pros and cons of this radically different approach... And how to decide which path to take
- Realistic examples and "case studies" of powerfully priceless real-world decorators
- Extensive "lab" coding exercises for each module... "Learn-by-coding" opportunities at each important step of the way
Important Note:
Because of the refined nature of its content, this professional course requires dedicated focused attention.
It's not the kind of light-weight "infotainment"-style material you find in typical and more casual courses, trainings and books.
Next-Level Python is self-paced, and takes a minimum of five hours to complete. It can easily take longer, depending on your current skill level.
Note this is NOT a course for people new to Python; in fact it is relatively advanced.
The course includes 2.5 hours of video...
However, almost everyone will need to watch certain videos several times...
As the content is semantically dense, and will challenge you to adopt entirely new strategies for reasoning about Python code.
In other words: we are not just teaching you easy-to-memorize facts and info. In this course, we flat-out...
Rewire Your Brain.
And the miracle we have pulled off is to package it so you learn in mere hours...
And not the months or even years it takes for those who somehow manage to learn it on their own.
In addition to the videos, you have mandatory, and in some cases extremely challenging:
"Lab" Coding Exercises.
Next-Level Python features more "lab" coding exercises than any other Powerful Python course...
As a matter of fact, you will probably spend more time writing code than watching videos...
And it is important to use the provided detailed solutions. Which you can use in two ways:
First: as you are doing a lab, you can "peek" at the solution to give yourself a hint if needed.
And second: once you have finished the lab, it is critically important and not optional that you carefully compare the code you wrote to the official solution.
Because in Next-Level Python, you are learning to create much more complex and interesting code patterns...
Which means even if you get the lab passing, there are several ways you could write the code.
And some of those ways are much better than others.
Included High-Quality Instructional Videos
- The Game Plan: An overview of what you'll learn in the course, and how we'll proceed.
- Variable Arguments and Argument Unpacking: Gain remarkable clarity on this critical building block of more advanced code patterns... which is also immensely valuable on its own.
- Functions As Objects, Key Functions, And Beyond: You will never look at Python the same again, as you firmly grasp this deep, profound, deeply Pythonic abstraction at the core of a whole new universe of Python power patterns.
- Basics of Writing Decorators: An abstraction in Python that lets you add behavior around entire categories of functions and methods... allowing you to separate tangled concerns not separable in any other way.
- Stateful Decorators and More: Leveling up your sophisticated understanding of the "the Matrix of Python", to create extremely powerful "meta-programming" tools.
- Higher-Order Decorators: A "first principles" mastery of this advanced dimension of decorators, allowing you to create framework interfaces like those used in Flask, Pytest and much more.
- Class-Based Decorators: A penetrating, systematic, and insightful treatment of a whole different approach for creating decorators... and its different strengths and trade-offs.
Special Bonus: Email "Office Hours"
I used to do this long ago, but have not in YEARS.
Because I want you to master this even more deeply...
So I'm giving a special bonus that I normally never give:
My Time.
Specifically, when you buy Next-Level Python before it closes, I'll give you access by email, to ask me ANYTHING related to the topics in the course.
Just email me a question, and I'll respond ASAP - within 48 business hours at the latest, but probably faster. So if you get stuck...
This Will Get You UN-Stuck.
This email support is good for a full 30 days, and is the first time I am offering this "email support" bonus for a course in years.
Preposterous Parade of Prolific Praise
Seriously, have you seen this kind of effusive praise for ANY course before:
"Towards the end of Next-Level Python, I began to get a feeling that I had never felt while programming before.
It was so joyous to experience the different abstraction layers involved... Thank you for this."

"After completing this course, I can write code that was simply beyond my abilities before... Python and other API documentation is much more accessible now. Information in this course was directly relevant to interview questions for a Software Engineering position.
Explanations are clear and concise, and each lecture flows logically from previous ones. The programming examples and labs are invaluable. There is no substitute for working code."
Jeffrey Smart, Los Angeles, California
"This course breaks through to an entirely new level - delivering on the promise to put you into the upper echelons of Python developers.
There is a deep, deep value waiting in the full understanding of all of these factors when combined together."
Tipton Cole, Austin, Texas, USA
"This one is one of the best video lectures I have ever seen in terms of video as well as in the coding exercises....
All modules are structured properly and the way you break down each and every topic was very good...
It's a great course and you are really providing the rare content which is more focused on becoming a great developer. Thank you for making me a seasoned Python developer :)"
Shankar Jha, Bangalore
"This course bootstraps a programmer with a good general knowledge of Python to a higher level of understanding, appreciation, and skill.
The instructor is a methodical, erudite, patient and highly focused teacher who goes to great lengths to explicate and get into all the nooks and crannies of his subject matter.
By the end of the course, if followed assiduously, you will certainly have raised your Python game.
By the end (assuming you have completed all the labs) you will certainly find yourself far more knowledgeable about Python.
This course is excellent value, and highly recommended."
Tony Holdroyd, Gravesend, UK
"Final verdict: recommended."
