Learning Plan for (Abinash das and Yanseen Shiduqi): Node.
js &
Python (1 Month)
I. Introduction
Goal: Provide freshers with a rapid introduction to core concepts in Node.js and
Python within a month.
Target Audience: Freshers with basic programming knowledge (preferably in
any language).
Duration: 1 Month
II. Learning Modules
A. Python (2 Weeks)
1. Week 1:
Core Concepts:
Data Types (integers, floats, strings, lists, tuples, dictionaries)
Control Flow (if-else, loops)
Functions (defining, calling, arguments)
Hands-on:
Basic data manipulation and calculations.
Simple text-based games.
2. Week 2:
Core Concepts:
Object-Oriented Programming (basic class concepts)
Modules and Packages (basic imports)
File I/O (reading and writing simple files)
Hands-on:
Creating a simple command-line application.
Working with external libraries (e.g., requests for making API calls).
B. Node.js (2 Weeks)
1. Week 3:
Core Concepts:
JavaScript fundamentals (review if needed)
Asynchronous programming (callbacks, promises - basic understanding)
Node.js module system (CommonJS)
Working with the Node.js file system (fs module)
Hands-on:
Creating a simple HTTP server.
Building a basic command-line tool with Node.js.
2. Week 4:
Core Concepts:
Introduction to Express.js (routing, middleware)
Working with a simple database (e.g., SQLite)
Hands-on:
Building a simple REST API endpoint with Express.js.
III. Learning Resources
Online Courses:
Python: Codecademy's Python track, freeCodeCamp Python
Node.js: freeCodeCamp Node.js, The Odin Project Node.js
Documentation:
Official Python documentation (for quick reference)
Node.js documentation (for core concepts)
IV. Assessment
Weekly quizzes: Short quizzes to assess understanding of core concepts.
Small coding assignments: Practical exercises to apply learned concepts.
Final project: A small project combining elements of Python and Node.js (e.g.,
a simple web application with a Python backend).
V. Mentoring and Support
Weekly Q&A sessions: Dedicated time for freshers to ask questions and get
clarifications.
Peer learning: Encourage collaboration and knowledge sharing among
freshers.
VI. Tools and Technologies
Code editor: VS Code
Terminal/Command Prompt
Node.js and npm
Python interpreter
Note:
This is a highly condensed plan. Focus on foundational concepts and practical
application.
Prioritize hands-on learning and provide ample opportunities for practice.
This plan can be adjusted based on the specific learning pace and needs of the
freshers.
