Arkadiusz Włodarczyk

I am the author of 27 very popular video courses about programming, web-development and math in Poland. I've also created 7 video courses in English. Over 245,000 people enrolled in my Udemy courses. I put all my heart into creation of courses. I always try to explain everything the easiest possible way. I'm sure that my courses will help you in the programming and web development adventure :)

I believe that everyone has the ability to develop software if they are taught properly. Including you. I'm going to give you the context of each new concept I teach you. After my course you will finally understand everything that you code.

I've been developing websites for over 15 years and I've been programming for over 10 years. I have enormous experience in that field and today I want to share with you my knowledge.
