Humanizing Python software development
Our mission is to lift people up by teaching the essential Python, developer and mindset skills. We like to keep things bite-sized as well.
What we do
Hello and welcome to Pybites.
We help (aspiring) developers strenghten their Python developer and mindset skills.
We do this by building real world applications. People that work with us drop tutorial paralysis and embrace JIT (just in time) learning.
We both come from a support engineer background, we broke through in the developer field by building valuable tools in the workplace.
Now we do the same with our clients. See, you don’t have to have a CS degree or math background to succeed as a programmer.
It all comes down to learn by building which is more fun than boring tutorials as well. Plus the applications you’ll build are a great asset on your resume / portfolio.
Join us and become a proficient Python developer. Check out our latest articles, podcast episodes and the products we offer.
– Bob and Julian, co-founders of Pybites.

PyBites gave me the practice and skills needed to succeed at interview coding challenges, which lead to my first software engineering position! I successfully made a career change with the knowledge and skills I gained from solving Bite exercises.

Write more Pythonic code
Python is easy to get started with yet profound in its implementation.
Our Python tips book brings together 250 tips exploring the built-in functions and the tremendously rich Standard Library in depth.
The concise and idiomatic snippets we present are often more performant and based on real world scenarios we found.
In that sense you get for 8 bucks what took us years to learn. You really can write better code faster by studying these tips for 20 minutes every day.

Formed in 2009, the Archive Team (not to be confused with the archive.org Archive-It Team) is a rogue archivist collective dedicated to saving copies of rapidly dying or deleted websites for the sake of history and digital heritage. The group is 100% composed of volunteers and interested parties, and has expanded into a large amount of related projects for saving online and digital history.
