Mark Lutz's Python Training

Home

 [Main page]

Mark Lutz is an ex-trainer

Thanks for your interest in Python training, but I was no longer available for teaching classes as of October 2016. I've retained this training website for its historical value; you're welcome to:

I also invite you to consider my Python books as alternative learning resources. Although they lack the live interaction of a class, the books embed both the content and spirit of the classes I taught over two decades, and can provide extra depth and personalized pace that classes usually cannot. While my classes are no longer available, I hope my books will continue to serve Python learners of all stripes for many years to come.

For the story behind this change—plus photos from the training road—see the discussion and links here.
