Frequently Asked Questions
Why 'Engineering Approach'?
Syntax is easy; engineering is hard. Most courses stop at 'how to write a loop'. We go deeper: How does Python manage memory? What is the Call Stack? How do massive companies structure their codebases? We teach you to think like a Senior Engineer, not just a scripter.
Is this for absolute beginners?
Yes. We start from zero (installing the software). However, we do not treat you like a child. We move quickly through the basics to get to the powerful topics. If you are willing to read and think, you will succeed. We respect your intelligence.
How much math is required?
For this specific course, you only need basic arithmetic (+, -, *, /). The challenge here is 'Logic', not Calculus. You need the ability to break a complex problem down into small, solvable steps. That is the core skill of programming.
