Short Coding Course — South Africa
OOP, Pygame, Matplotlib & Django
Learn Python from the ground up — the language behind data science, AI, web development and automation. This course takes you from zero to a solid Python foundation, with hands-on projects in game development (Pygame), data visualisation (Matplotlib) and web development (Django).
Variables, data types (str, int, float, bool, list, dict, tuple, set), operators and expressions.
if/elif/else, for and while loops, break, continue, and writing clean conditional logic.
Defining functions, parameters, default values, *args/**kwargs, return values and scope.
Classes, objects, __init__, inheritance, encapsulation and polymorphism.
Read and write files, handle exceptions with try/except and work with JSON.
Import built-in and third-party modules, create your own packages and use pip.
Build a simple 2D game: game loop, sprites, collision detection and sound.
Create line charts, bar charts, histograms and scatter plots from real data.
Set up a Django project, create views, templates and a simple URL-based app.
Apply everything you've learned in a capstone project of your choice.
All courses are taught by experienced bootcamp instructors of the Code College team — with a total of 30+ years of industry experience in the team.
You write code from day one. Every concept is reinforced with real exercises and a practical project you keep.
