Become a senior developer
Solve intricate software design challenges, craft code that's clean and easy to work on. Completely change the way you approach software design.
What my students say
Unlike other courses, the course is not language-oriented. I mean, although it is based on Python, the principles described here can be used with any programming language.
I must admit that I'm a bit ashamed that I didn't do this sooner, I've been an 'ok' software developer for 9 years, but now I want to be a good software developer.
This course has provided me with tools that I didn't even consider when writing code. I now think about these concepts beforehand.
It focused on the actual way of thinking about the problems, not just the mechanics of implementation, or dwelling on the beginner-type content. I usually never buy courses, only books, because the courses usually disappoint (not at all with this one!).
People who bought The Software Designer Mindset gave it an NPS score of 68 with 73% Promoters, 22% Passives, 5% Detractors.

Did you know the difference in salary between a junior and a senior developer in the US is around $65,000 per year?
This shows how important it is to invest in yourself: the potential gain is enormous!
Becoming a senior developer means you have to be a great programmer. To become a great programmer, you have to know how to solve the complex problems that no one else can solve. You need to know how to structure problems logically so you can translate them into software.
How do you close the gap between the junior and senior level?
There's a lot of helpful material online, but there's also a lot of wrong, outdated information and bad coding practices that are still being promoted today.
You can try to climb that ladder alone and spend a lot of time figuring out what you need to learn, only to have to unlearn things if you've followed the wrong advice. You might end up farther away from your goal of becoming a senior developer, throwing away thousands of dollars per month because you're not able to make that next move in your career.
But why make it so hard on yourself if there's another path?
A path where you're intentional about investing in yourself. A path where you can be part of a community and be surrounded by peers. A path where I'll be there to guide you, and teach you the best practices of software design that get you results. That path is available to you right now.

- Design complex software
- Improve your existing code immensely
- Create software that is easy to change and scale
Ultimately, its only goal is to make you unlock your full potential.
On top of that, you'll be part of a private student community where you can exchange with people all over the world, find friends, and get extra support when you need it.
Good to know
In this course, I use Python for all code examples. The beauty of Python is that it's flexible: it supports both object-oriented programming as well as functional programming.
That makes it the ideal language to teach software design. However, even though the course uses Python, you can apply the principles that you learn in this course to any programming language and software project.
Full course curriculum
Each module of the course has code examples written in Python that you can download. There are also quizzes and exercises so you can sharpen your design skills. Each lesson is filled to the brim with tips and tricks taken from my own experience of teaching computer science and developing complete software products.
This course is for you if:
- You have basic Python programming experience and you want to take your skills to the next level.
- You truly want to become a better software developer and you're willing to invest in yourself and put in the work.
- You want to grow into a senior software developer position, but you want to do it efficiently.
- You love writing beautiful code that feels like it's the perfect fit for a software problem.
- You want to connect with like-minded people all over the world, and you're not afraid to ask questions.
This course is NOT for you if:
- You have no Python programming experience at all. In order to follow the course, you need to have basic Python knowledge. However, if you're able to follow my videos on YouTube, you'll be able to follow the course.
- You expect results without putting in the effort. You have to be serious about becoming a senior software developer and be willing to put in the time and follow the principles.
- You expect a course that gives you recipes to do a specific thing. This course focuses on something deeper: the principles behind the recipes, and the mindset you need to come up with your own recipes.
- You hate Python :)
