Once you work as a developer, you learn on the job. You have to figure out stuff on the fly. But… you’re not alone.
In fact, great companies and teams are built to get you up to speed.
There are …
- senior developers to kick-off projects with you
- code snippets and related documentation as starting point
- know-how transfer so you can grow as developer
With our coding hours projects, we teach with the same radical focus on practice.
Codinghours... our project-first approach for mastering new tech in record time
You only get deep into tech like data science and AI when you get YOUR hands dirty.
When YOU have to structure your projects. When YOU make mistakes, struggle and have to find and fix bugs.
THAT is the time where the magic happens.
When it clicks… where you experience those revelating AHA Moments.
Our approach is related to learning in the daily routine of developers.
In a company, for any new project you get:
- a detailed briefing to clearly understand the requirements
- an explanation of input data and expected output
- a technical kickoff with a project manager or senior developer to get the structure right
- maybe some code snippets and related code samples
- pointers to documentation and related resources
Equipped with those information, you venture out on your own and start implementing.
And if you get stuck, there is always somebody around to give you some pointer into the right direction.
This is the way our training works.
Project Driven Codehours: Discover Data Science and AI with Python
The complete new “learn by completing assignments” training for data science and AI that GUARANTEES you to grow your data science and AI skills by limiting theory and maximizing practical application in projects.
I wrapped my knowledge from educating developers of over 13 years into these new training, so YOU can start your AI and data science journey now.
- Developers who are employed and have only limited time and mental capacity. Balancing a demanding job with personal projects, learning new skills, and staying updated with the fast-paced field of data science and AI can feel overwhelming.
- Developers who are overwhelmed by the sheer number of potential projects and sources of data, which make it difficult to choose a direction, commit (pun intended) and stick with it.
- Developers who despite taking course after course, have failed to gain traction on what they KNOW is the industry's next BIG THING. And…
- Developers, who despite the temporary setbacks, recognize that there’s still no getting around this “data science and AI” thing, and are therefore still motivated-as-heck to finally achieve the momentum and growth they know they need…
The Result Are…

The building blocks of every project in your training
We strive to emulate how you’re going to learn on the job. We’re explaining what’s expected, we’re helping you to understand the assignment technically, we provide sample code and links to documentation. And… just in case you get stuck, we provide hints you can look at, once you’re stuck.
A Briefing of Requirements
What is expected? What is the definition of done? Which inputs are there? What output has to be provided? The requirements are either dictated by the customer, or simply by the task at hand.
Related Snippets
Related code snippet help can give you an idea about the solution, can really save time to implement core logic, save time and provide initial scaffolding.
Layered Hints to get you unstuck
In a work environment, you have colleagues to ask when you are stuck. We provide you with optional hints you can access, so that you can get yourself unstuck.
Technical Kickoff
A senior developer will help you to map out the structure of your code, help you to setup the environment and provide you with additional information.
Related Links to Documentation
You'll get links to related documentation, more often than not official resources. Learning to work with actual documentation prepares you for assignments in real world.
Plus: A Complete Solution For Every Project (for you to study)
When you work as a developer, nobody can do all the coding for you. That’s the reason for you to get paid. But since you’re here to learn, you get an example implementation as well as a video walk-through for each project.
Example Implementation
The example solutions are meant one possible solution, so that you always have a way to learn from someone else solution. The example however is only meant to be studied AFTER you finished your own solution.
Solution Video Walkthrough
It doesn't really make sense to just hand over a bunch of files with code. We provide a video walk-through for each example solution, so that you understand certain choices, main logic, entry points, and so on.
30-Day "One Email is Enough" Guarantee.
Protected by the unshakable “one email is enough” money-back guarantee
We want to make being part of the coding hour experience as easy as humanly possible.
We want to make it an easy, confident “yes” for you…
So…
Enter the “one email is enough” money back guarantee.
Take 30 days to go through ALL MODULES. You get unrestricted access.
If after completing the Code Hour Projects for Data Science and AI Development you still don’t feel you development a clear overview, build momentum and confidence to break into data science and AI …
Simply email Jan at refund@codhinghour.ai with at least one implemented project, and we’ll hit “undo” on this whole “let’s get your data science and AI started” experiment.
Oh, and by the way…
You get to keep your new portfolio projects, all downloads, codes, tutorials, and any materials you’ve received.
Who am I... to tell you about all this?
Well, hello there. My name is Jan Brinkmann.
I’m probably what many people would call a geek.
I’m interested in movies, a good tv series, fantasy, I crave books and love Linux, Unix and other Open Source software.
I have been a developer since 1998 when I was 16 years old, grew up around computer. I got in touch with Python in 2002, when I was a Gentoo Linux developer.
Does that qualify me as a geek? Maybe, not in the most traditional sense any more.
Because these days, when I’m not around my son, I’m maybe taking my road bike for a spin or go for a run …
I’m a freelancer developer who runs codinghour.ai and offers project driven trainings for developers. Over the years I had the privilege to teach over 28.000 developers.
What we DON’T offer here:
- "Learn by copying our code" online courses.
- Endless courses with 30+ hours of theory
- Content for the sake of adding hours to blow up perceived value
We are hardcode focused on getting you up to speed in a given technology as fast, convenient and practical as possible.
And if you allow me to do it, here is where I plan on taking you and your data science and AI skills.
For literally over a decade, I was my own best customer.

3 Common Myths about Data Science and AI
Are you in doubt if this training is for you? Don’t feel confident enough? Here are three Myth about Data Science, Machine Learning and AI.
Myth #1 - You Need college degree to be Successful in Data Science and AI
False! Many data scientists and AI professionals have diverse educational backgrounds, including self-taught individuals.
The industry values practical skills and real-world experience over formal degrees, making diverse educational pathways viable.
Myth #2 - Only Mathematical Geniuses Can Understand AI
Not true. In your day job, you're not working with formulas that look like they calculate the trajectory of a rocket. So you don’t have to work through a year worth of math problems before you start with AI or data science.
Myth #3 - Data Science and AI Are Only for Tech Giants
No! Services like ChatGPT introduced the possibilities of AI to a broad audience.
However …
Organizations of all sizes and across various industries are leveraging data science and AI, creating opportunities way beyond the traditional tech giants.
The increasing adoption of these technologies by small and medium-sized businesses increased the demand for data science and AI skills across various sectors.
