This academic year, the Hexlet School of Programming participates for the first time in the Tech Orda program, implemented on the initiative of the ICRIAP RK on the basis of the Astana Hub. Today we will tell you how Python developer training takes place.

The Python developer is creating the backend of websites and web applications - the server part, which is responsible for logic and databases and is not visible to users. Its main goal is to make sure that services understand requests and sites respond correctly to visitors' actions. 

Hexlet's Python course under the Tech Orda program lasts 40 weeks. Currently, 6 students are studying the program. They learn how to program, use data structures, and create backends for applications and websites. With this foundation, if desired, you can finish your studies and quickly change the field or language / technology.

• The Python Developer course consists of learning modules with lessons and projects.
• 1-2 times a week — meetings with a mentor: webinars, live coding sessions
• Each lesson contains theory, tests to consolidate what you've learned, and practice right in the browser.
• We keep all online meetings on the record - you can review them!

1. Versatility: Python is used in development, analytics, machine learning, and other fields.
2. Popularity among employers: Python is actively used in Kazakhstan (Kolesa Group, Kaspi.kz ) and in the world (Google, NASA).
3. Simplicity and accessibility of the language: ideal for beginners and universal for professionals.

1. Knowledge of Python for web development (Django, Flask).
2. Working with databases (PostgreSQL, SQLite).
3. Understanding the principles of testing (pytest, unittest).
4. The ability to automate processes and create scripts.
5. Working with Docker and Git.

1. How do I choose a destination?
2. Determine which is more interesting to you: web development, automation, or data analysis.
3. Research the vacancies to find out which skills are most in demand where you live.
4. The best sources for learning Python:

• Real Python is a free resource for those who know English and are used to learning on their own.
• The course "Profession "Python developer" at the Hexlet online school.

1. Practice: where to apply knowledge and find like-minded people?
2. Participate in competitions at venues such as Hexlet Codebattle.
3. Work on pet projects, for example, create chatbots.
4. Communicate in the Astana Hub Community and Hexlet communities: on Telegram, VK, and YouTube.

Good Python developers are growing rapidly in their profession and in value. You can reach the middle grade in a year of actual development. Graduates of the Tech Orda program will be able to work from anywhere in the world or look for an employer abroad.
