Your front-end devs aren't independent

Your front-end developers want to contribute to your Django back-end, but your back-end developers are nervous they might break things. Your front-end devs don't know Python yet and you'd love to help them learn, but you don't want to drain resources from your back-end team.

If only your front-end devs knew Django

You want your front-end developers to become proficient full-stack Django developers. If your front-end developers learn Python and Django well enough, they'll decrease their dependence on your back-end team, which could help your team shorten the lag time between releases of your web app.

Python Basics for JavaScript developers

When learning a new programming language, we always compare what we're learning to what we already know. Your front-end devs will learn Python from the perspective of a JavaScript developer. In my remote training course, Python Basics for JavaScript developers, that's exactly how I'll teach.

As we learn, we'll anchor our mental model of the Python world with our JavaScript knowledge. All new Python knowledge will be re-enforced by comparisons to JavaScript. We'll discuss what's different from JavaScript, what's the same, and what doesn't work quite the way you might expect.

How it works

We'll meet online via video chat, 3 hours every day for 1 week. In between our sessions, your developers will work through many short programming problems, practicing test-first development along the way.

We'll cover:

  1. Variables and Conditionals
  2. Modules and Functions
  3. Lists and Loops
  4. Dictionaries and Iteration Tools
  5. Classes and Objects
  6. Code Style

Between remote training and individual exercises, your developers should expect to make a 20 to 25 hour time commitment during our week of learning together.

Don't take my word for it

“Everyone enjoyed Trey's training. I highly recommend it!”

John Coogan, Co-Founder & CTO at Soylent

“If I was learning programming again, I would definitely seek mentorship from Trey.”

June Clarke, Director at The League of Amazing Programmers

Still have questions?

» My developers learn quickly: can't we skip over the introductory material?

I will move at the pace of your developers and we'll go as deep as we need to in each section: we don't stay surface-level, even for introductory material. We'll be diving into very Python-specific features pretty quickly.

» Will you sign an NDA?

I can provide you with my own NDA. I will not sign your NDA without an additional fee.

» Can't my developers pick up the basics on their own?

I'm certain that your developers absolutely can learn Python on their own, but it may take them much more time and they may end up writing Python code that looks like JavaScript. You want your developers to write Python like a native.

No problem. Shoot me an email.

About Trey

My name is Trey Hunner. I am a director at the Python Software Foundation and a member of the Django Software Foundation.

I have a background in full-stack Django web development and many years of experience in front-end JavaScript development.

My classes are usually slide-free and exercise-heavy. I teach with my hands on the keyboard. We learn by doing, not watching.

Let's talk now

I want to help your developers level-up their Python programming skills. Want to talk about whether my remote training course is right for your team?
