How to build a complete Python app from scratch — including logic, structure, and user interface.
How to create a desktop GUI using PyQt6 — with real input fields, layout control, and event handling.
How to send automated emails with Python — using the smtplib and email.message modules.
How to work with real-world data — reading and writing to CSV files, parsing dates, and scheduling reminders.
How to connect a local Python app to a remote server — using HTTP requests and APIs to store data.
How to deploy and automate your Python app in the cloud — using PythonAnywhere to run your app daily.

Requirements
Basic understanding of Python — You should know how to write functions, use variables, loops, and if-statements.

Description
Learn Python by Building a Real App — From Start to FinishIf you’ve learned Python basics but still don’t know how to build a real app — this course is for you.In this project-based course, you’ll build a complete desktop application that sends email reminders — with a user interface, real logic, and cloud automation. No more tutorials that only teach isolated code snippets. You’ll learn how everything fits together to make a real, working program.This is the first course in the Real World Python series — where each course teaches you to build one useful, real-world app with Python. What You’ll BuildYou’ll create a fully functional Email Reminder App that:Lets users schedule reminders through a desktop GUI (built with PyQt)Sends emails using real email credentials via SMTPSaves data to a CSV file for persistent storageRuns automatically every day from the cloud (PythonAnywhere)Supports repeat reminders like “every 2 weeks” or “every 3 months”By the end, you’ll have a tool that’s actually useful — and you’ll know how to build one yourself.What You’ll LearnHow to think through, design, and build an app from scratchHow to use PyQt6 to build clean, interactive desktop interfacesHow to work with CSV files, dates, and scheduling logicHow to send emails in Python using smtplib and EmailMessageHow to deploy and run Python scripts daily in the cloudHow to send data from a desktop GUI to a serverThis course is not just about writing code — it’s about becoming someone who can build programs that work.Who This Course Is ForYou know the basics of Python (variables, functions, loops), but you struggle to turn that into a complete programYou’ve tried learning Python but still feel lost when starting a projectYou want to finally finish something — and feel like a real developerYou don’t need to be advanced. You just need to be ready to build.What Students Say About My Courses“Ardit has a gift for breaking down complex concepts into simple steps.”“This is the first time I actually understood how to build an app with Python.”“Finally — a course that bridges the gap between theory and real-world Python.”By the end of this course, you’ll not only have a working app — you’ll have the confidence and skills to build many more.Let’s build something real.

Who this course is for:
Beginner to intermediate Python learners who know the basics but struggle to build complete programs
