The Learn Programming Academy was created by Tim Buchalka, a software developer with 40+ years experience, who is also an instructor on Udemy, with over 2.24 million students in his courses on Java, Android, Python and the Spring framework.

The Academy’s goal in the next three years, is to teach one million people to learn how to program.

Apart from Tim’s own courses, which are all available here, we are working with the very best teachers, creating courses to teach the essential skills required by developers, at all levels.

One other important philosophy is that our courses are taught by real professionals, software developers with real and substantial experience in the industry, who are also great teachers.

All our instructors are experienced software developers!

Our team is busy creating new courses right now.

Whether you are a beginner, looking to learn how to program for the very first time, or to brush up on your existing skills, or to learn new languages and frameworks, the Academy has you covered.

Tim’s mission is simple: to make a difference in your life by helping you to become a software developer. Tim does that through his Android, Python, Java and Spring Framework courses.

When Tim started programming over thirty years ago, there was no online video training.

There was no “easy” way to learn. The Internet, in its current form, didn’t exist, and as a result, Tim couldn’t “Google” for help, or watch videos on Youtube.

After learning the hard way, Tim was determined to become the best teacher he could, and to make his training as painless as possible, so that you, or anyone else with the desire to become a software developer, could become one.

In between doing that, Tim spent the best part of those years as a professional software developer writing applications in Java, and a variety of other languages. In addition he spent many years with J2EE (as it was then known), now known as Java Enterprise Edition (JEE), designing and developing enterprise applications.

Tim is relatively unique, in that he is a professional, experienced software developer who also has exceptional teaching skills.

Many instructors have no work experience in the field! Make sure the person you trust with your education is a real expert with substantial previous professional experience.

The bottom line for you is, when taking any of Tim’s courses, is that you will learn the right way to do things from an expert, in the shortest possible amount of time.

Tim’s Java, Android, and Python courses, here on Udemy are of the highest quality as reviewed by his students. Tens of thousands of students, just like you, have taken his classes, thousands have left glowing reviews, and many have gone on to full-time jobs, or consulting/freelancing opportunities after completing one of his courses.

Tim recently placed in the top ten Udemy instructors as voted for by his students and Udemy themselves.
