About This Offer
iPhone, iPad, Web. There are already over 20 million iDevices out there, and with nearly 1 billion people on the internet, iPhone and web applications have been flying off the shelves.
More than 300,000 iPhone apps have been published (dozens earning more than $1,000,000 in revenue) and internet startups are getting funded like it's the bubble part deux (ahem, Color) and are raising tens of millions of dollars?
It's time to step off the sidelines.
Understanding how to code and serve these new audiences is imperative. And though you may never be a full-time coder, you have to know how to talk the talk and gain some credibility.
To do that, you have to try to code...at least a little bit. It may seem daunting, like some wild black magic that only the select few that did Computer Science at MIT understand. It may seem hard to get started - where do I go? Do I buy a book? But what if I have questions or get stuck? Why do I have to learn all this computer science theory... I JUST WANT TO BUILD AN APPLICATION!
Well, have no fear. Bess Ho and Zed Shaw are here.... (Read More)
Bess Ho -
Learn to Develop an iPhone or iPad application in 4 weeks60+ lectures, including: 17 videos, source codes, and hands-on exercises for each section. I, Gagan Biyani, co-founder of Udemy, had the pleasure of watching Bess Ho teach a class one day. She had 40 students at the 500 Startups headquarters in Mountain View, CA, and the class was titled "How to build an iPhone Application." The class was just 6 hours long. I came in thinking "WTF?!" - these guys and girls must be programmers, right? I mean they went to school and learned things like string theory and machine learning?
WRONG. These were everyday Joes and Janes. They had philosophy degrees and business backgrounds. Many of them were older, younger, fatter, thinner. They had nice clothes on and combed their hair in the morning. They came in with NO CODING EXPERIENCE. Many of them had never even seen a line of JavaScript.
I fell asleep, tired from a long night and expecting the worst. Bess had the class whip out their laptops and a short 6 hours (with 2 hours for lunch/break) later, Bess called out "OK, who wants to demo their application?" I awoke and looked up. The business executives, consultants, and marketers in the room went up one by one. They showed their iPhone applications on-screen. They worked! Yes, in just 6 hours, you can learn to create an iPhone app even if you have no programming experience. That's the magic of Bess Ho, the first feature in this week's awesome deal from Udemy.
Zed Shaw -
Learn Python the Hard Way50+ lectures, including: 6 videos tutorials and 49 hands-on exercises to practice Python by coding real programs. The second person, Zed Shaw, needs no introduction. His book, Learn Python the Hard Way, has been downloaded over 335,000 times. Yes, 335 thousand. In one year. Why? Because he is awesome and has figured out how to teach programming web applications in an approachable manner. He barely markets his book - his users market it for him! They talk about him on Hacker News, invite him to speak at conferences, and virtually worship him. He's like the Yoda of Python.
Why is he different? It's quite simple actually. Instead of teaching you programming theory for 300 pages, he forces you to write code. His course on Udemy is a set of 30+ exercises. Each exercise teaches you a new programming concept. The online course then provides tutorial videos that show you how he would solve the problems in his book. It's a brilliant way to learn - we call it learn by doing. Zed calls it learning the "hard way."
In this week's deal, we provide you with
your choice of one of our two best programming courses: Zed Shaw on “Learn Python the Hard Way” or Bess Ho on “Learn How to Build iPhone and iPad Apps in 4 Weeks”. Oh, and for good measure, we're hooking it up with a 70% discount. Get it while it's hot.
