Most tutorials show you clean code working on the first try. Real development isn't like that…
You'll write messy code. You'll get stuck. Bugs will pile up. Google/AI become your best friends.
So I'll teach you the process. You'll practice it 21 times. By the end, you build next tools without me.

You probably spend too much time on theory and tutorials. Plus AI code that you don't understand because you didn't practice enough… Luckily, there's a way out.

I had always heard about the Revit API but never touched it, not even once. I had zero Python experience either. In just 10 days of the pyRevit Challenge, I went from doing everything manually to automating tasks that actually save time. The challenge truly opened my eyes to what's possible with the Revit API...

The exact framework I use for every tool I build. Repeatable, AI-friendly and beginner proof. It'll guide you how to Think, Code and Test new pyRevit tools for best results.
This is how you'll naturally become a developer and ship your own tools from scratch.

Your Idea Based on Real Problem
Before you open the code editor - you need a plan.
It all starts with an idea that is based on a real problem and a reason WHY.
# Make sure you solve real problems.
# Make sure you solve real problems.
Research
or steal like an artist
Research
or steal like an artist
Research sounds boring but not as boring as wasting days on something that already exists…
So, look everywhere: Google, YouTube, GitHub, Revit API Docs, Forums, Blogs, Ask AI…
Often times you'll find code snippets or even full scripts that already work.
# Gather a "Coding Cheat Sheet" that saves you days
Outline
"pseudo-code" in plain English.
Outline
"pseudo-code" in plain English.
Never start coding without a clear outline…
Break down your tool into simple steps in plain English. No code yet.
If you can't put your steps on paper, then you're not ready to write Python code either…
# Create "Pseudo Code" in plain English.
Code
quick and dirty...
Code
quick and dirty...
So many people get this wrong…
But, DO NOT make perfect script. Instead, focus on creating a proof on concept as soon as possible.
That means: Skip steps. Keep it ugly. Ignore code structure. Forget optimization.
Your only goal is to make it "kind-of works" (even if it breaks half the time).
# Create "Proof Of Concept" (Fast)
# Create "Proof Of Concept" (Fast)
Edit
your code to polish it
Edit
your code to polish it
Only once you have proof of concept it makes sense to polish it.
Add all features. Rewrite structure. Optimize slow code. Make nicer forms. Reuse code and so on…
Now it's time to finish the tool you've started. But it's still not final step…
# Complete all steps of your tool
# Complete all steps of your tool
Sterss-Test
to break it before anyone else can
Sterss-Test
to break it before anyone else can
This is the most important step because here your tools become production ready.
It looks the hardest - but it's the most repetitive step. Because it's mostly the same issues:
What if you select nothing? What if you provide wrong parameter value? Does it work in other Revit versions? Close UI and see what happens... All of these happen on nearly every tool. And we can fix it .
# Make your tool bullet proof to avoid "Works on my machine"
Ship
real tools your team can use
Ship
real tools your team can use
Lastly, the most rewarding step is to put it in production and see other people use it. That's where you feel like a real developer serving others. Your status grows. People start asking for more. Boss will notice you. And your career and salary start to grow accordingly.
# Skills are nothing without proof. And your tools will speak for you now.

Methodology is exceptionally efficient, focusing first on Proof of Concept without the common pitfalls of over-engineering. Then, Erik shows how to refine the tool. Custom dialog forms, and robust error handling to ensure the final product is stable, "bulletproof," and user-friendly. Erik makes pyRevit programming a reality for beginners.

Every other week, someone emails the same thing:
"I've been trying to learn the pyRevit/Revit API for months but I keep getting stuck..."
They watch tutorials, they ask AI, but it still doesn't click.
They're smart… Just don't practice enough and don't have a system in place.
Plus, sometimes we need a friendly Kick In The Butt when we feel low or about to quit.
(It would be my honour to help you with both)
That's why this challenge exists.
Me and hundred students are creating the same tools around the world.
Each tool introduces new concepts while reinforcing previous ones. And if feeling stuck, you can get help using provided Coding Cheat Sheets, Step-By-Step Tutorials, Challenge Group or just ask a question during weekly Live Q/A Sessions.
My goal is to provide you everything to succeed while keeping it challenging so you can practice, learn and grow at your own pace without ever feeling stuck.

Fair question. I also use AI every day…
But the difference is understanding of programming fundaments and development process. AI has made coding accessible. AI also made it dangerous. The ones who actually understand and can control what they get will win the most.
You need fundamentals with or without AI…

From day one with Erik, I began to better understand fundamental concepts that allowed me to take my automations to the next level. I love vibe coding, but now I'm able to guide AI step by step and understand what's wrong. At first, I was impressed by how accessible Erik makes it, but what I value most now is that I no longer depend on others to develop the tools I need.
