Course Overview
A beginner programming course aimed at sports fans who want to learn by coding a practical cricket simulation game
Hey cricket fans,
Learn to code with this beginner Python programming course featuring 100% cricket-related examples and projects.
By the end of this course, you will have made a fully working cricket game simulator - even if you are new to programming.
So, whether you want to change careers and become a super savvy sports data analyst or, just try to predict the results of your team every week – learning Python is where it all begins.
Check out this course and learn a new high-income skill while tackling a super-interesting cricket project.
As a sports fan, even if you’ve tried to learn to program before, but lost interest because of the boring examples – give this course a go – you’ll be pleasantly surprised.
And, obviously, if you aspire to become a sports data analyst, but need to learn Python basics first – then this is definitely the course for you. You will learn programming using relevant sports examples as opposed to rehashed unrelatable exercises.
This course is very practical. I’m going to teach you a lot of different concepts right from the start, and you will immediately see how they work in a practice – in real scenarios – because you are programming something from lesson one. Then, we will keep on using and building on these concepts throughout our projects until you become really familiar with them.
Many other courses take 10-20 videos to go through some of the concepts I introduce in lesson one – and you would be sitting there wondering when you’re going to get to actually program something. With this course, you won’t ever feel that.
This course is based on a very successful learning strategy that many experienced programmers encourage, which is to find a project that you enjoy doing, and then learn the concepts you need to complete that project. Then do another project and, learn what you need, and build your knowledge, and so on.
Learn what you love, love what you do
So, if you are ready to invest some time in learning Python – why not enjoy it? It’s a lot easier to learn to program when you’re engaged in the subject matter and working through scenarios that you can picture in real life – and while having fun. So, are you ready to kick-off? I know, I am….

I enjoyed the course, it revealed the main concepts and I will certainly take them forward into my own projects. The recording volume was quite low so I had to listen hard at times but the instructors voice was clear and well spoken. The main problem I found was that in the middle of the course the progress got very slow and we were moving all over the code to fix issues which was hard to follow and difficult to replicate alongside, so I started thinking ahead and changing things I thought could be better. At that point my project was different animal so the last few sections I could only really listen to, and then I just downloaded the final code from the resources. A decent effort though.

It's always so much easier to learn when it's relevant to a passion.

Very nice idea and really helpfull to explain python with cricket concepts in a cricket game. A lot of it made sense straight away and the course is nice to get some first ideas on coding for a begginer like me. The only problem is the last section do get a bit sluggish and things feel a bit more scatered, but I enjoyed doing this course and that it motivated me to carry on with my coding learning journey. Thanks!
