What you'll learn

You've never tried programming with Python but would like to? This track is perfect for you! While completing the track, you’ll be able to work on several simple projects aimed at making your first acquaintance with Python more interesting and practice-oriented. You’ll start with the basics and get to learn the main concepts and the syntax of the language. It will allow you to become part of the developers’ community, since you’ll speak their language, and numerous coding examples will help you explore the power of Python and the possibilities of programming in general. Here is what you will learn:

Main programming concepts (loops, variables, control structures, etc.);
Using professional development environments to work on your code;
Basic Python syntax;
Breaking a problem into small parts and building an algorithm for a program;
Writing well readable code;
Applying ready-made solutions in your code: modules and functions;
Creating a program that works from the command line.

As a result of learning this track, you will be able to apply the gained knowledge at school or at work to automate routine tasks. This should also be enough to figure out if you like Python and programming in general and would be interested in further education or even a career in IT.

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.
