Who teaches Effective PyCharm (2021 edition)? Talk Python Training
Talk Python Training is the paid course platform of Michael Kennedy, the host of the long-running Talk Python To Me podcast — one of the most-listened-to podcasts in the Python ecosystem. The course platform extends Michael's interview-based knowledge of the field into structured video courses taught by Michael and a curated set of guest instructors.
The course catalog covers the full Python landscape: web development with Django, Flask, FastAPI, and the broader async-Python stack; data science and pandas; LLM / RAG application development; testing and CI/CD; deployment patterns; the data-engineering side of Python; and a long list of practical Python patterns aimed at working developers. Few platforms cover the language with this much breadth from inside the Python community itself.
The CourseFlix listing under this source carries over 18 Talk Python Training courses spanning that range. Material is paid; Talk Python Training runs on per-course pricing on the original platform. Courses are aimed at developers using Python as a serious primary language rather than as a scripting tool.
