✅ Phase 1: Build a Strong Foundation (1–2 Weeks)
Goal: Get super comfortable with Python syntax and core concepts.
Learn by doing, not just reading.
1. Basic Syntax
variables, data types, input-output, print(), type(), comments
2. Control Flow
if-else, nested if, loops (for, while), range, break, continue
3. Functions
def, return, parameters, default args, lambda
4. Data Structures
list, tuple, set, dict, indexing, slicing, methods like .append()
5. Loops + DS Practice
Do 30+ simple problems from HackerRank or LeetCode Easy to make it muscle memory.
Practice Tip: Pick one mini-project (like calculator, number guesser, simple to-do list CLI) to
apply what you learn.
✅ Phase 2: Dive Into Standard Libraries (1–2 Weeks)
Goal: Learn libraries that automate real-world tasks.
Understand the “Pythonic” way to do things.
1. os, sys — File/folder handling, command-line inputs
2. math, random, datetime — Useful for calculations and time-based automation
3. collections — Counter, defaultdict, namedtuple (used in real-world logic)
4. itertools — For combinations, permutations, chaining, grouping
5. functools — reduce, lru_cache, partial, decorators
6. re — Regular Expressions (super important for automation, scraping)
7. json, csv, glob, pathlib — File reading/writing, searching
Create short scripts using each — like a file renamer, folder cleaner, random password
generator, etc.
✅ Phase 3: Object-Oriented Programming (1 Week)
Goal: Understand OOP well enough to read or write real codebases.
• class, __init__, self, object creation
• inheritance, method overriding, encapsulation
• dunder methods (__str__, __repr__, __len__, etc.)
• When & why OOP is better than procedural code
Try building a simple project like a Library Management System, Student Record System, or
ATM interface.
✅ Phase 4: Real Python Applications (2–3 Weeks)
Goal: Go beyond theory — start making things.
Pick any 2–3 areas below based on your career focus:
For Data Analysis / ML:
• Learn NumPy, Pandas, Matplotlib, Seaborn, Scikit-learn
• Start with data cleaning, manipulation, and small visualizations
• Do projects like: Netflix dataset analysis, IPL stats, Weather analysis
For Automation / Scripting:
• Learn selenium, pyautogui, openpyxl, schedule, subprocess
• Projects: Auto WhatsApp sender, YouTube downloader, Email bot, File backup tool
For Web Development:
• Learn Flask or FastAPI
python syllabus and road map Page 1
• Learn Flask or FastAPI
• Create simple REST APIs, Blog App, Portfolio, or Notes app
For Competitive Coding / Interviews:
• Start solving LeetCode: Easy → Medium → Hard
• Learn DSA with Python: Stacks, Queues, Trees, Graphs, DP
✅ Phase 5: Mastery Phase (Ongoing)
Goal: Write clean, efficient, scalable Python like a pro.
• Learn:
○ Type Hints, Exception Handling, Testing with pytest, Logging
○ Virtual Environments, Packaging, pip, [Link]
○ Git + GitHub, Docker basics, REST APIs, Database (SQLite or PostgreSQL)
• Contribute to open-source or clone a full project
Final Projects:
• Personal Finance Tracker
• Resume Scanner with NLP
• Stock Market Dashboard
• ChatBot using OpenAI API
• Web Crawler + Notifier
Bonus Tips
• Keep practicing: Solve 5 problems a day on platforms like LeetCode or Codeforces
• Make GitHub active: Add your projects with README
• Read real code: Explore Python repositories, see how others write it
• Teach others: Explaining code will 10x your understanding
---------------------------------------------------------
✅ 1. Master Python Standard Library (Important for LeetCode
+ Interviews)
Focus on:
• collections – Counter, defaultdict, deque
• heapq – MinHeap/MaxHeap problems
• itertools – combinations, permutations, etc.
• functools – lru_cache (for memoization)
• bisect – Binary search on sorted lists
• math, operator, string (common interview helpers)
I can guide you library by library with examples and problems. Just say the word.
✅ 2. Learn Data Structures and Algorithms (DSA)
This is must-have after Python.
Focus in this order:
1. Arrays and Strings
2. HashMaps & Sets
3. Stack & Queue
4. Binary Search
5. Recursion & Backtracking
6. Linked List
7. Sliding Window
8. Trees (DFS, BFS, Binary Tree, BST)
9. Heap & Priority Queue
10. Greedy
11. Dynamic Programming (DP)
12. Graphs (BFS, DFS, Union Find, Topo Sort)
You should also solve LeetCode problems for each topic. I can guide topic-wise if you want.

✅ 3. Practice LeetCode Properly (Topic-wise)
Once DSA is done, go topic-by-topic on LeetCode:
• Solve 30-50 questions per topic
• Focus on Easy first, then Medium
• Skip Hard unless you're aiming for top companies or competitive programming
✅ 4. System Design Basics (for advanced learners)
If you're targeting big tech or senior roles later, learn:
• API Design
• Load Balancing
• Caching
• DB Sharding
(Not for LeetCode or beginners, but useful later.)
✅ 5. Projects (Only if you're building resume)
• Use Python for real-world mini projects:
○ Web scraping (requests, BeautifulSoup)
○ Automation with os, shutil
○ APIs with Flask or FastAPI
○ Data Analysis with Pandas (for data-related roles)
✅ 6. Interview Preparation
• Resume prep
• Mock interviews
• Behavioral questions
• OS/DBMS/Networking basics (if for job)
