🐍 Why learn Python?
(and not any of the other many languages)
From our experience & the research sources; Python is a clear good choice for students in India today.
- Easy to learn. Simple, readable = less time on syntax and complicated tools, more focus on logic, design and problem solving.
- Good base for learning more languages after.
- Versatile: good for backend, local programs, data science, math and AI/ML!
- In-demand: many companies have Python positions.
- One of the most loved & used languages today = future-proof investment for the job market.
🔍 Course Highlights:
- 10 week’s of material, some 10-20 hours per week.
- Contents: Functions, Variables, Conditionals, Loops, Exceptions, Libraries, Unit Tests, File I/O, Regular Expressions, Object-Oriented Programming
- Hands-on Python coding through several smaller assignments..
- A final project that can be the start of your online portfolio on GitHub.
- Learn to use both modern tools like the VSCode IDE, as well as computer fundamentals like navigation of a Linux terminal.
👉 Are you as excited as we are, for you to learn the skills that enable you to land an internship and job? Then join us now in this course!

Our first batch of students are already making cool Python programs!
[1] The original online-only course offered by OpenCourseWare is called “CS50P” or the full title “CS50’s Introduction to Programming with Python”. As this course is offered to students at Aryaloka with teachers, it has the name “CS50x Python at Aryaloka” to distinguish it from the original course.
