Stop tutorial-hopping. Start building. Learn Python the real way — by shipping your own app in 6 weeks.
Designed for intermediate Pythonistas who want to work with Git, CLI, FastAPI, testing, deployment, and more — with mentorship, structure, and results.
Start anytime — we now enroll year-round.

A full-featured code snippet manager built with real-world architecture:
The PDC is very comprehensive and taught me exactly what I needed for my new project at work. Bob did an amazing job for mentoring best practice of modern python and code reviewing. Highly recommended!
— Ben L, Software Developer
Confidence comes from doing. I just finished PyBites PDC, and I feel more confident than ever as a developer. The cohort was perfect for me—someone with Python programming experience who needed support pushing a project from requirements to launch.
The PDC framework comprises focused weekly sprints. At the start of each week, you’re given a roadmap and helpful examples to springboard your work. Each sprint is right-sized, helping you dive deep into one or two essential parts of a modern Python development workflow.
Having completed PDC, I feel excited to keep building my own projects, and I have greater confidence in my job search.
— Brandon B, Software Developer
The Pybites Developer Cohort provided a motivating, structured environment that helped me bring a full Python project to life. Over six weeks, I shipped Snipster, a CLI + API app for managing code snippets, while sharpening my skills in FastAPI, SQLModel, testing, deployment, and architecture.
The consistent feedback and weekly momentum made it easier to stay focused and build clean, testable code. It was a true build-in-public experience—one I'd recommend to any developer who wants to learn by doing.
— Ben G, Data Engineer
The PDC program was exactly what I needed to level up my Python skills. I had taken several tutorials before that taught me Python syntax, but this program went beyond that. It taught me how to build, package, and deploy a production ready application.
I learnt how to write clean, maintainable code using modern tools and workflows. More importantly, working with Bob helped me embrace the mindset of consistent, project based learning; building real applications that I myself would want to use and that I would be proud to share with the world.
I highly recommend this to anyone looking to level up their Python and general development skills, especially those who want to write code like experienced developers. If you've ever looked at the github source code for a Python library and wished you had the skills to write code with the same polish, then this is the course for you.

Developer Tooling: I feel like my fingers are dancing across my keyboard after learning vim shortcuts, tools like fzf and ag, and little unix features like “ctrl+z and fg” to switch between vim and terminal. I love how the pre-commit setup is making my code clean for me; and the extra error messages from ruff have helped me learn more best practices.
Accountability: I have a long list of unfinished projects. I start something and make decent progress. But then perfectionism keeps me on one feature until I’m burned out. Or I get “shiny-new-toy” syndrome and re-start with the whole thing with the latest framework. This project has been different. In less time, I’ve completed more of an project than ever before. The constraint of 6 weeks has pushed me to keep going, and the regular check-ins with Bob and the cohort have kept my motivation high. 🚀 — Kishan P, Data Engineer
We now run Snipster continuously. Apply anytime to get started. We review applications weekly and admit a small number of learners at a time.
I'm Bob Belderbos, co-founder of Pybites and your guide in this program. I've helped 100s of developers stop tutorial-hopping, build real apps, and grow into confident Python developers. Let's do the same for you.
I'm Juanjo Expósito, Python developer and Pybites coach. I specialize in Python fundamentals, software engineering best practices, and code quality standards. I'm expert in scalable architectures, testing strategies, and deployment pipelines that deliver reliable applications. From clean, maintainable Python code to full-stack application deployment, I help developers build production-grade systems with confidence. 🚀
No — this is a mentor-led, project-based program. You'll build and ship a real app with live calls, support, and community accountability over ~6 weeks. You can join anytime.
This program offers structure, support, and live check-ins, but without the intensity of 1:1 coaching. You’ll work independently on the same app with guidance and feedback from us, plus interaction with others in the program through calls and the forum. 1:1 coaching, on the other hand, is more tailored and hands-on.
This program is for intermediate Pythonistas. You should be comfortable with functions, basic OOP, and using the terminal.
No stress — we record all calls and provide async support via our private community. You’ll always be able to catch up and get feedback.
Plan for ~6–8 hours per week: live sessions + focused project work.
Nope — Snipster is a well-scoped app you’ll build from scratch, with room for extensions.
You’ll build independently, but you'll be surrounded by peers and get support from the Pybites team throughout.
Absolutely. You’ll ship Snipster on GitHub with tests, documentation, and a story you can share.
Apply using the form above or book a quick call. We review new applications weekly and admit a limited number at a time.
Nope — you can start anytime. Once you're accepted, we'll onboard you and get you building right away.
Yes! This format works great for team learning. Email us at info@pybit.es to get started.
