"The only way to learn a new programming language is by writing programs in it." - Dennis Ritchie

Master Pythonic Practices

Through a diverse range of exercises (421 at this time), Pybites introduces you to essential Python libraries and best practices. By solving real-world problems, coding towards passing tests, and reading different solutions Pythonistas share in the forums, you'll think more Pythonically and write more efficient code.

Take Control of Your Career

These exercises mirror real-world job experience. Drop the tutorial paralysis and learn to code like you would on a real development team. The confidence you build will allow you to take control of your career, land new roles, justify promotions, and become the expert and go-to Python Developer on your team.

Join a Supportive Community

Pybites offers more than just coding exercises; it provides a vibrant, supportive community where Pythonistas hang out together to learn and grow. Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced developer, you’ll find a welcoming space of like-minded people to ask questions, share knowledge, network, and continuously advance your Python skills.

Who This is For

Would one of the following roles describe you? Then our platform can greatly boost your Python skills:

The Software Dev Job Seeker

  • Looking for a software developer job with Python.
  • Has intermediate-advanced Python skills.
  • Suggestion: Use the platform to freshen up algorithm skills and prepare for interviews.
  • How: Complete the Algorithms and Python Coding Interview learning paths.

The Scientist

  • In a scientific role.
  • Needs to learn Python for data-related purposes.
  • Suggestion: Use the platform to learn from scratch or learn the required aspects of Python to work with data.
  • How: Complete the Bioinformatics, Data Analysis, and Web Scraping learning paths.

The Beginner

  • Someone who has an interest in learning Python but has no idea where to start.
  • Already somewhat technically capable, but not sure about this "Python thing".
  • Suggestion: Use the platform to learn from scratch, (it's even easier with previous coding experience in other languages).
  • How: Complete the Newbie Bites to start the Python journey, then move through Intros and into Regular, Beginner Bites.

The Non-Tech Beginner

  • Doesn't know anything about computers, let alone Python.
  • Heard that knowing some Python can help with their day job.
  • In a non-tech role like HR, Sales, Marketing, etc.
  • Suggestion: Use the platform to gain an exposure to Python and learn some fundamentals.
  • How: Complete the Newbie Bites to start the tech journey making sure to watch the tutorial videos for each exercise. Consider coaching for personalized help.

The Hobbyist

  • Likes to tinker with Python but has no goal to work with it professionally.
  • The idea of improving Python to build cool things is appealing.
  • Suggestion: Use the platform to stay fresh and explore Python libraries.
  • How: Try new learning paths, e.g.: Typer. Explore OOP learning path to help with building larger projects.

The Bored Python Dev

  • Uses Python at work daily but feels like they're stagnating by not learning anything new.
  • Python no longer has the same "buzz" it once did and is kind of boring.
  • Suggestion: Use the platform to explore new libraries and modules to apply in day-to-day work.
  • How: Work through Regular Exercises using the tags system to explore new and exciting libraries, modules and features.

What Our Members Are Saying

Katrina-Kay Alaimo

"Pybites has been immensely helpful! I have tried multiple platforms to learn and improve my Python skills, but Pybites has been by far the most useful and enjoyable. Since you have to problem solve for each Bite, they really help reinforce the idea of thinking carefully and logically about what steps need to be taken before and as you start any code. When I first started, I would just throw code at the issue and hope, without really understanding the process and how Python is implementing it. I think this is a common flaw that non-experts fall into."

Rebecca Mackley

"Pybites exercises are a fantastic way to learn by doing. I've gained much more experience and confidence in my coding doing the bites on this site than I have in a couple of years of using books and video tutorials. I wish this site had existed when I first started learning Python, it would have made it much easier and more fun."

Rebecca Mackley

Alex Pineda

"At first the easiest bites would take me hours... but after several tries and completing more bites, I got the hang of them and could finish them before or at the avg time. According to several blogs the magic leet code number is: - 100 easy lvl - 50 medium lvl - 2 hard lvl And you'll be ready for faang. It took me 3 months, 8 - 16 hours daily to complete that with Pybites and I aced those technical interviews 😎. Compared to other coding platforms Pybites is easier to understand, not only what I'm doing, but also why am I doing it."

Alex Pineda

Marin Muso

"I recently interviewed for this Data Engineer position. I was able to answer questions during their technical phone screening that I otherwise wouldn’t have known because I kept up with the bites. I ended up getting an offer and I start next Monday! It’s true that there is a degree of luck to this, but practicing allowed me to capitalize on the luck!"

Marin Muso

Sangeeta Jadoonanan

"Just wanted to drop a quick line here to say that Pybites helped me land my job as a Software Developer! Unlike other platforms, Pybites gives you a taste of real-world problems through bite-sized challenges; this is exactly what I needed to prepare for technical interviews. Seriously, big thanks to Bob and Julian for creating this and helping so many become better developers, you guys rock!!!"

Sangeeta Jadoonanan

Terry Spotts

"I can't thank the Pybites team enough for their dedication to building a solid learning platform for the beginner, intermediate, and advanced Pythonista alike. The variety of exercises continues to grow in depth and breadth, there are consistently new coding challenges to push your limits and expand your knowledge. Pybites gets me up and motivated in the morning! It's better than coffee!"

Terry Spotts

Mayank Singh

"Dennis Ritchie said: “The only way to learn a new programming language is by writing programs in it”. This saying is completely justified by Pybites! Their platform gives you immense possibilities to play, experiment and learn with so many different types of pythonic problems, ranging from code challenges, bites and even their interactive courses."

Mayank Singh

Simon Kenny

"The bites often necessitate reading up on unfamiliar modules, libraries, built-ins, etc. Without the problem-solving context of Pybites, it would be almost impossible to absorb the information. I particularly like the subtle guidance given in the form of “hint tags” associated with each “Bites Of Py” exercise. They don’t give much away but point you in the right direction – that’s a great way to learn!"

Simon Kenny

Andrew Jarcho

"I think Pybites is the greatest thing since sliced bread. I've used Hackerrank, Codesignal, Geeks2Geeks, TopCoder, Euler, Leetcode, etc, etc, etc. All of them have their good points and their uses, and some I still use regularly, but *Pybites* is the one that's most useful to me, clearest, and best put together. Pybites is helping me fill in gaps in my Python skills, and level up."
