Stephen Gruppetta

I used to be a physicist, which is where I learned programming. After working in science and academia for over a decade, I decided to escape before it’s too late.

Since then, I have focused exclusively on teaching coding. In 2016 I set up codetoday based in London, UK, which focuses on providing Python courses for children. And more recently I launched The Python Coding Place, the hub for all my courses and resources for those who want to learn to code.

Since 2020 I have been a contributing author on Real Python.
