Cracking the Coding Interview

Small Class Size.

We like to keep things cozy - just 25 students max per class. That means more questions, more answers, more laughs, and way more “Aha!” moments.

Small classes let our instructor give personalized attention to every curious coder, so no one’s stuck scratching their head in silence. It’s easier to collaborate, make friends, and feel like part of a team (not lost in a sea of faces).

Basically, it’s the perfect size for big learning and even bigger fun.

What is the duration of the course?

Learn Python in 4 weeks.

In just 4 weeks, you’ll go from “Wait, what’s a variable?” to “Stand back, I’ve got this encrypted!” This isn’t your average snooze-fest course — we’ve packed it with thrilling challenges, secret codes, and just the right amount of Python magic.

Python for Beginners is designed to make learning Python fun, fast, and full of surprises. You’ll be writing real programs, breaking ciphers, and flexing your coding muscles in no time.

Build & Break encryption using Python.

Through this course, we’ll dive into the exciting world of encryption as we explore and break open some of the most fascinating ciphers with Python. From classic techniques like Caesar Cipher to more sophisticated ciphers like Transposition and Affine Cipher, you’ll learn the secrets behind each cipher and how to decode them with your newfound coding skills.

Reverse Cipher
Reverse Cipher

Reverse ciphers hide secrets in plain sight by simply flipping the message backwards — it’s like reading a code through a mirror. Mastering this sneaky cipher will leave you feeling like a true codebreaker, decoding mysteries with just a flip of the script.

Caesar Cipher
Caesar Cipher

Caesar ciphers shift the alphabet like a secret dance, where each letter steps a few spaces away from its original spot. Cracking this classic code will make you feel like a time-traveling detective solving secrets straight from ancient Rome!

Transposition Cipher
Transposition Cipher

Transposition ciphers are masters of disguise, rearranging the letters of a message without changing the letters themselves—turning order into secrecy. Instead of substituting characters, this cipher focuses on creating a new pattern by swapping positions according to specific rules.

Affine Cipher
Affine Cipher

Affine ciphers take encryption up a notch by using a combination of multiplication and addition to transform letters into encoded brilliance. Each character is carefully shifted through a mathematical formula, creating a message that looks random but holds a logical secret.
