In this course on Python decorators, you’ll learn what they are and how to create and use them. Decorators provide a simple syntax for calling higher-order functions in Python. By definition, a decorator is a function that takes another function and extends the behavior of the latter function without explicitly modifying it.

Incredible course - very well thought out and designed. The best RealPython course I’ve done so far (and I’ve done quite a lot!)
The best thing about this course is how much groundwork the teacher laid first, to avoid blowing our brains up when explaining decorators, a topic which most people find quite hard to grasp.
The design of this course shows a huge amount of thought about which aspects of decorators are the sticking point for most newbies, and how convey understanding about the precursor elements that make decorators easier to understand.
I was pleasantly surprised at how relevant and useful the examples were. I liked that the text-entry screen caps are sped up so that we’re not sitting there watching someone type slowly.
Fantastic work, RP team!
