Learn by doing

# 1

Apply knowledge into practice

You already know the theory. Now it's time to code like you do at work—in a professional IDE, with real project constraints, solving problems that actually matter. Welcome to software engineering as it should be.

# 2

Navigate complexity with surgical precision

Most developers waste months learning random concepts without seeing how they connect. Our interactive Knowledge Map fixes this. It shows exactly how every programming concept relates to others, helping you build a structured mental model of coding.

# 3

Copy the best. Then improve.

Here's what top engineers do that others don't: they study other people's code obsessively. When you get stuck on Hyperskill, you can explore solutions published by other developers. See their exact code. Understand their approach. Learn their tricks.

# 4

Code review that actually makes you better

We stripped code review down to what actually matters: does your solution work? Have you handled the edge cases? Is there a cleaner way to write this? Hyperskill acts like a competent reviewer who actually tests your code. Not genius-level analysis, not architecture debates — just solid feedback on making your code better.

Elevate your engineering mastery through real-world challenges

Master advanced engineering concepts through ambitious projects. Each project deepens your expertise and transforms you from an experienced engineer into an exceptional one.

Password Hacker with Python

All sorts of creatures lurk around the Internet, including trolls, pirates, miners – and hackers. In this project, you're going to step into the shoes of a hacker, tasked with infiltrating a secret server — password unknown. Your mission is to create a Python program that can crack the password swiftly. Learn how hacking works and create a complex application where you will work on iterators and generators, itertools and time module. You will practice concepts frequently tested in technical interviews at top tech companies.

Memorization Tool

It would be great to remember anything at any time. Alas, our mental capacity is limited. The good thing is that there are a lot of tools to help us memorize things. In this project, we are going to create a tool for memorizing lines, poems, speeches, and other text-based materials.

Graduate

Multilingual Online Translator

Everyone’s familiar with online translators. They giving us a handy way to translate on the go. In this project, you’re about to write an app that translates the words you type and gives you many usage examples based on the context.

I started learning Python from scratch on this site. After completing the basic level, I felt so confident that I jumped straight to this course and failed. I took one step back, came back and after that I managed to complete this course. Sometimes I still had to think long and hard about how to com ...

Good course. Some tasks overcomplicated and easy to solve traditional way instead of trying to solve according the topic.
