Why Python ?
(and not some other computer language?)
👉 Versatility : web development, data analysis, machine learning, automation
👉 Easy to Learn : Simple syntax, great language for beginners.
👉 Popular : high demand for skilled Python developers.
👉 Large Community : a wealth of resources and support.
👉 Portable : Windows, Mac, and Linux
GAME projects are the BEST way to learn coding, here's why...
👾 Fun : coding without feeling overwhelmed or bored
👾 Hands-on : practical and interactive
👾 Instant Feedback : quickly see the results of your coding
👾 Develop Problem-Solving Skills : solve puzzles and overcome challenges
👾 Motivating : stay engaged and focused

"I started learning Python through other online courses, but found them boring as they only provided basic 'Hello World' examples. With Coding with Mr. Wagner, I could learn new capabilities like PyGame library and create interactive projects. Mr. Wagner breaks down the game creation process into bite-sized pieces, making it less overwhelming. He is entertaining and shows his debugging process, which I found helpful. His lessons left me wanting to learn more. I recommend Coding with Mr. Wagner for new programmers looking to create fun projects in Python."

My son and I enjoy every bit of this training. I know a little basic and understand what is going on now. My son loves it and thinks about creating a gaming application himself. This is something that more than developing a game but more expanding the love of programming. Thank you, Mr Wagner.

I tried learning computer programming using another online course. They had me practicing for loops and if statements and that was boring. I just wanted to get to doing something real. I found Mr. Wagner's site and got Pong and Breakout working. I am planning on making a PacMan clone soon using what I learned so far.

Value Packed Tutorials
This course contains three modules one for each of the three games that you will code. In addition, the course has step-by-step instructions on how to install Python and PyGame as well as a video on the CODING MINDSET.
Each of the three game modules contains more than a DOZEN instructional videos that each are alone worth the price of the course. These videos were carefully shot and edited with informative graphics to make your learning experience the best it can be. In addition, I have created a vocabulary coding cheat sheet that you can use to help you coding your own projects in Python.
Exclusive Code With Mr Wagner Community
I am building an exclusive private community of coders where you can chat with each other, share code and brainstorm ideas. This is part of my CodeWithMrWagner vision. I want a place where like-minded coders can hang out and have fun.
It is not a big community yet, but as I build this coding school it will be!
Frequently Asked Questions
Can't I just learn to code on YouTube?
Yes, of course, you can, but I question whether that is the best path for you.
I have reviewed many coding youtube videos, some are good and some are not so good. Here is my take. Many of the coding youtube videos I have watched are basically an hour-long walkthrough of coding some sort of project with little to no explanation of WHY you would code something that way. These videos need to be split up into much more manageable chunks to explain one concept simply and clearly. Plus there needs to be support for the many questions you might have.
I used to recommend my students watch these coding youtube videos as enrichment, but then I ended up spending hours re-explaining everything. This is not a good use of anyone’s time. I even thought about having my own youtube channel to teach game coding but after careful consideration, I knew there must be a better way.
This is why I have set up my own online classroom website to host my coding videos in a clear, concise step-by-step way. I want to have the best online environment for learning to code and Youtube is simply not the best path for a teacher or a student.
Your time is worth something. Wouldn't you like to spend it in the most efficient way learning to code?

Who is this course for?
This course is for ANYONE who wants to learn how to code a computer. This course uniquely succeeds in this mission by teaching coding using a project-based method.
For Working Professionals: This course will give you the coding skills and confidence to use coding as a tool in your job. Many professionals know they are not as valuable to their company because they do not have coding skills. These professionals do not have the time, money, or energy to return to school to learn to code. Furthermore, they may have tried other coding courses and have found them unengaging, too difficult, or frustrating. This course will give you the foundational coding knowledge needed to succeed and get ahead in your job in an easy, fun, and engaging way.
For High School Students: This course is an excellent enrichment class to help you with the foundations of computer science. As a former AP high school teacher, I have years of experience and knowledge teaching coding in a fun and engaging way. I taught AP Computer Science Principles and AP Computer Science A (in Java). Taking this course will give you an advantage in those classes and set you up for success!
For People Who Already Know How to Code: This class will guide you through the foundations of coding in the language Python. I will teach you proper coding techniques, style, and good habits. This course is a great overview of the unique syntax and data structures that Python offers.
What kind of computer access will I need?
You will need an internet-connected computer, tablet or smartphone to watch the course videos.
To code the games in Python, you will need a computer capable of installing Python (3.x) and Pygame. Most any PC, Mac, or Linux machine made in the last 5 years will be fine. You will need about 100M of hard drive space. You may need "admin" access to the computer to install Python so if you are using a school computer you may need to ask a teacher to help.
If you are on a Chromebook, tablet or smartphone, it is possible to code these games using a website and/or an app called repl.it!
