Loops (for, while) ✅
Functions ✅
Lists ✅
Tuples ✅
Sets
Dictionaries
File Handling
Exception Handling
Lambda
Strings
Arrays

Game.
Phase 2: Object-Oriented Programming (2 Weeks)
Goal: Understand and apply OOP principles.
Topics:
Classes and Objects
Inheritance, Polymorphism
Encapsulation, Abstraction
Magic Methods (_init, __str_, etc.)
Practice:
Create a Library Management System or a Simple Game (e.g.,
Tic-Tac-Toe).
Phase 3: Intermediate Concepts (3–4 Weeks)
Goal: Work with data handling and algorithms.
Topics:
Recursion
Data Structures (Stacks, Queues, Linked Lists, Trees, Graphs)
Algorithms (Sorting, Searching, Dynamic Programming)
Modules and Packages
Decorators and Generators
Practice:
Solve problems on LeetCode, focusing on data structures.
Build a basic web scraper using BeautifulSoup or Scrapy.
---
Phase 4: Advanced Python (4–6 Weeks)
Goal: Dive into specialized Python topics.
Topics:
File I/O (JSON, CSV)
Regular Expressions
Multithreading and Multiprocessing
Functional Programming (lambda, map, filter, reduce)
Context Managers
Memory Management
Practice:
Build a text analyzer, chatbot, or automation scripts.
Solve complex algorithm challenges.
---
Phase 5: Libraries and Frameworks (6–8 Weeks)
Goal: Gain expertise in widely-used Python libraries.
Topics:
NumPy and Pandas (Data Analysis)
Matplotlib and Seaborn (Data Visualization)
OpenCV (Image Processing)
TensorFlow/PyTorch (Machine Learning)
Flask or Django (Web Development)
PyGame (Game Development)
Practice:
Projects:
Data analysis with Pandas (e.g., analyzing stock prices)
Web app with Flask/Django (e.g., blog site)
Object detection with OpenCV
---
Phase 6: Software Development Practices (4 Weeks)
Goal: Learn professional coding standards.
Topics:
Version Control with Git/GitHub
Testing (Unit Tests with pytest)
Documentation (docstrings, README)
Design Patterns
Deployment (Docker, CI/CD basics)
Practice:
Contribute to open-source projects on GitHub.
Write well-documented, tested Python packages.
---
Phase 7: Specialization (Ongoing)
Goal: Master a domain based on interest.
Options:
Data Science/AI → Deepen knowledge in machine learning with
scikit-learn, TensorFlow, and PyTorch.
Web Development → Master Django, Flask, and REST APIs.
Automation/Scripting → Use Selenium, OpenCV, and
PyAutoGUI.
Game Development → Expand with PyGame or game engines.
IoT/Embedded Systems → Work with Arduino and Raspberry
Pi.
Practice:
Develop full-scale projects (AI models, web apps, or games).
Participate in coding competitions (e.g., Kaggle, Codeforces).
---
Daily/Weekly Routine:
Daily Coding: 1–2 hours solving coding problems.
Project Work: 1–2 hours on projects or learning libraries.
Weekly Goals: Set small, achievable goals each week.
By consistently following this plan, you'll steadily build up to an
advanced Python skill level.
