If you have never tried programming at all and you want to build a good foundation, this track is perfect for you! While completing this track you’ll create 5 simple projects. We’ll start with the basics and will use a lot of examples to really explain the possibilities of Python and programming in general. You’ll get to learn the main concepts and the syntax of the language and it will allow you to become part of the developers’ community since you’ll speak their language. Completing projects will help you approach a complex problem by breaking it down into smaller manageable pieces. And learning to work in a development environment (IDE) will teach how to fix your code like a pro.

Learn by doing

# 1

Apply knowledge into practice

You already know the theory. Now it's time to code like you do at work—in a professional IDE, with real project constraints, solving problems that actually matter. Welcome to software engineering as it should be.

# 2

Navigate complexity with surgical precision

Most developers waste months learning random concepts without seeing how they connect. Our interactive Knowledge Map fixes this. It shows exactly how every programming concept relates to others, helping you build a structured mental model of coding.

# 3

Copy the best. Then improve.

Here's what top engineers do that others don't: they study other people's code obsessively. When you get stuck on Hyperskill, you can explore solutions published by other developers. See their exact code. Understand their approach. Learn their tricks.

# 4

Code review that actually makes you better

We stripped code review down to what actually matters: does your solution work? Have you handled the edge cases? Is there a cleaner way to write this? Hyperskill acts like a competent reviewer who actually tests your code. Not genius-level analysis, not architecture debates — just solid feedback on making your code better.

Elevate your engineering mastery through real-world challenges

Master advanced engineering concepts through ambitious projects. Each project deepens your expertise and transforms you from an experienced engineer into an exceptional one.

Zookeeper

This short code challenge can help to look after zoo denizens. You will create an instrument for watching animals to keep in touch about their state.

Simple Chatty Bot

Here, at the beginning of your programmer’s path, you will need a console bot that will guide you through the basics of software development. During this journey you will also play some word and number games that you are going to implement by yourself. Pack up and hit the road, my friend!
