Python Roadmap
Phase 1: Python & Algorithm Foundations (1-2 Months)
1. Python Basics
Master syntax, loops, functions, and data structures (lists, dictionaries, sets).
Practice file handling and OOP concepts like classes and inheritance.
Use [Link] and W3Schools for tutorials[1].
2. Solve Easy Problems
Start with Blind 75 fundamentals:
Two Sum, Contains Duplicate, Best Time to Buy and Sell Stock[4].
Aim for 10-20 easy problems to build confidence in Python syntax and problem
decomposition.
Phase 2: Pattern Recognition & Medium Problems (2-4 Months)
1. Learn Key Patterns
Study the Grokking the Coding Interview course for patterns like:
Two pointers
Sliding window
Merge intervals
BFS/DFS[5].
Use NeetCode’s Roadmap to categorize problems by topic (arrays, trees, graphs)[3].
2. Curated Problem Lists
Complete Blind 75 and NeetCode 150 lists.
Focus on Pythonic solutions for problems like:
Product of Array Except Self (arrays)
Clone Graph (graphs)
Course Schedule (topological sorting)[4].
Python Roadmap 1
Phase 3: Advanced Topics & Company Prep (4-6 Months)
1. Dynamic Programming & Hard Problems
Tackle Grokking Dynamic Programming Patterns for problems like:
Coin Change
Longest Increasing Subsequence[5].
Gradually solve 10-15 hard problems (e.g., Number of Islands, Decode Ways)[4].
2. Mock Interviews & Contests
Participate in LeetCode Weekly Contests to improve speed and pressure handling[2].
Use LeetCode’s Company-Specific Questions for FAANG/MAANG-targeted prep[3].
Key Resources
Resource Focus Area
Blind 75 Core problem set
NeetCode Roadmap Topic-wise problem categorization
Grokking Coding Patterns Problem-solving frameworks
LeetCode Explore Guided learning paths
Pro Tips
Track progress in a spreadsheet and revisit challenging problems weekly[2].
Write clean, PEP-8-compliant Python code with meaningful variable names[1].
Optimize runtime by leveraging Python’s built-in libraries (e.g., collections , itertools ).
By following this roadmap, you’ll systematically build Python proficiency and problem-solving
skills tailored for coding interviews.
