1
00:00:04,140 --> 00:00:09,180
I'd like to welcome you to the Python
master class, and thanks for investing in this course.

2
00:00:09,180 --> 00:00:11,160
I'm Tim Buchalka, your instructor,

3
00:00:11,160 --> 00:00:14,549
and I'm an Aussi, you can guess by the accent, and a
teacher, and I've been a professional

4
00:00:14,549 --> 00:00:18,440
software developer who started
programming way back in the 1980s,

5
00:00:18,440 --> 00:00:22,380
which I know is a long, long time ago.
Now my partner in crime, my co-instructor is

6
00:00:22,380 --> 00:00:26,640
this guy, Jean-Paul Roberts, and he's got
about the same amount of experience as me.

7
00:00:26,640 --> 00:00:30,380
So collectively, we've got around
about 70 plus years of experience

8
00:00:30,380 --> 00:00:33,860
as professional programmers so I'd like to
think we know a thing or two.

9
00:00:33,860 --> 00:00:38,300
But getting back to what we're doing here, our mission,
well our mission is to teach you Python,

10
00:00:38,300 --> 00:00:42,600
basically, as quickly as possible
and as comprehensively as we can.

11
00:00:42,600 --> 00:00:45,180
So whether you're brand new to
programming, or you've got a little

12
00:00:45,180 --> 00:00:48,700
programming experience in Python or even
another programming language,

13
00:00:48,700 --> 00:00:52,260
this course is most definitely aimed at
you. So the course has been one of the

14
00:00:52,260 --> 00:00:56,129
top-selling Python courses on udemy for
years, and I think one of the biggest

15
00:00:56,129 --> 00:01:01,900
reasons is updates. We constantly update
the course for free, and basically,

16
00:01:01,900 --> 00:01:04,979
anytime a major new Python release
comes out or something changes that we

17
00:01:04,980 --> 00:01:10,200
think needs to be updated, then we
actually go through and actually do that update.

18
00:01:10,200 --> 00:01:13,640
Now one piece of early advice
I've got for you is don't be tempted

19
00:01:13,640 --> 00:01:17,440
to skip the videos in the course at all,
but particularly in this section.

20
00:01:17,440 --> 00:01:22,860
You might look at them and think that,
ok subtitles and source code etc. boring.

21
00:01:22,940 --> 00:01:26,900
Watch them anyway. They're only short and
you know, topics like playing videos in

22
00:01:26,900 --> 00:01:31,050
the highest quality can be really, it's
just good information to know because,

23
00:01:31,050 --> 00:01:34,960
particularly with Udemy's video
player, which plays up sometimes,

24
00:01:34,960 --> 00:01:38,740
and you might be looking at the videos
and thinking, 'Why are they blurry?'

25
00:01:38,740 --> 00:01:41,920
Watch the video, the video quality video
as an example and you'll see that.

26
00:01:41,920 --> 00:01:45,940
So just check out all the videos in this
course, is what I'm getting at, getting to:

27
00:01:45,940 --> 00:01:49,380
things like the video quality, which
I talked about, subtitles,

28
00:01:49,380 --> 00:01:52,120
how to get access to the source code, how to get support,

29
00:01:52,120 --> 00:01:55,000
important questions, answers to
all of those in these videos.

30
00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:59,740
Alright, I'm waffling on now. I'd like to thank you
again. Congratulations for your investment.

31
00:01:59,740 --> 00:02:03,460
Let's now move on to the next video.
