■ Python Developer Roadmap
1. Foundations of Python
• Install Python & set up environment (PyCharm, VS Code, Jupyter).
• Learn basic syntax: variables, data types, operators.
• Control flow: if/else, loops.
• Functions & parameters.
• Modules & Packages (import, pip).
• Practice small scripts (calculator, guessing game).
2. Core Python Concepts
• Data Structures: lists, tuples, sets, dicts.
• String manipulation.
• File handling (read/write files).
• Error & Exception handling.
• Object-Oriented Programming (OOP).
• Virtual environments (venv, pipenv).
3. Intermediate Skills
• Iterators & Generators.
• Decorators.
• Context Managers (with statement).
• Important Modules (os, sys, datetime, json, re).
• Unit Testing (unittest, pytest).
• Learn Git & GitHub.
4. Specializations
• Web Development: Flask, Django, FastAPI, databases.
• Data Science: NumPy, Pandas, Matplotlib, Seaborn, ML libraries.
• Automation/Scripting: os, shutil, web scraping (BeautifulSoup, Selenium).
• Backend/APIs: Django REST, FastAPI, Authentication, JWT, Cloud basics.
5. Projects (Portfolio)
• Beginner: To-do app, calculator, weather app.
• Intermediate: Blog site, REST API, chatbot, data scraper.
• Advanced: E-commerce backend, ML project, automation tool.
6. Advanced & Professional Skills
• Databases: SQL (PostgreSQL/MySQL) + NoSQL (MongoDB).
• Testing & Debugging.
• Deployment: Docker, CI/CD, GitHub Actions.
• Cloud basics (AWS, Azure, GCP).
• Design Patterns & clean coding practices (PEP8, SOLID).
7. Practice & Growth
• Solve coding challenges on LeetCode, HackerRank.
• Contribute to open-source projects.
• Follow Python communities (Reddit, Discord, GitHub).
• Stay updated with new Python versions.
■ 30-Day Python Foundation Plan
• Week 1: Basics – Variables, data types, operators, strings, calculator.
• Week 2: Control Flow – if/else, loops, number guessing game.
• Week 3: Data Structures – lists, tuples, sets, dicts, student system.
• Week 4: Functions & Files – functions, lambda, file handling, to-do list.
■ Daily Practice Exercises
• Each day includes 1 focused task (e.g., calculator, loops, dicts, file handling).
• By Day 30, you’ll complete a final revision test.
