3-Month Python Learning + Problem Solving Roadmap (Beginner Friendly)

Target Audience: Absolute beginners (just passed 12th, no prior coding experience).

Goal: Learn Python programming from scratch with regular problem-solving practice.

Time Commitment: 3-4 hours/day

Next Step: After 3 months, start learning Data Structures and Algorithms (DSA).

Month 1: Python Fundamentals + Basic Problem Solving

Week 1:
- What is Programming? What is Python?
- Installing Python & Setting up VS Code
- Variables, Data Types, Type Casting
- Input/Output, Basic Operators
- Conditionals (if, elif, else)
- Loops: for, while, break, continue
- Practice 5-8 problems from each topic (e.g., pattern printing, simple math)
Week 2:
- Functions in Python
- Parameters, Return Values, Scope (local/global)
- Built-in Functions vs User-defined Functions
- Recursion (basic intro)
- Practice 5-10 problems on functions and recursion
Week 3:
- Lists, Tuples, Sets, Dictionaries
- Indexing, Slicing, Looping through collections
- Basic operations (add, remove, update)
- Nested data structures
- Practice small problems using collections (frequency count, simple menu app)
Week 4:
- Strings in detail (indexing, slicing, functions)
- Practice problems (palindrome, anagram, substring search)
- Start using platforms like HackerRank / CodeChef (Beginner section)

Month 2: Intermediate Python + Logic Building

Week 1:
- File Handling (read, write, append)
- Exception Handling (try, except, finally)
- More Practice: implement file-based mini-project (e.g., student record keeper)
Week 2:
- Object-Oriented Programming (OOP): Class, Object
- Constructor, self keyword, methods
- Inheritance, Encapsulation, Polymorphism (basic understanding)
- Mini-project: Build a class-based system (e.g., bank system)
Week 3:
- Modules and Packages (math, random, datetime, etc.)
- Create your own module and import it
- Virtual Environment & pip install basics
- Practice 10 small problems mixing concepts from Month 1 & 2
Week 4:
- Intro to Libraries: matplotlib (simple plotting), tkinter (simple GUI app)
- Basic GUI or visualization mini-project
- Continue solving 5-8 beginner problems daily on Codeforces/LeetCode

Month 3: Final Consolidation + Real-World Applications

Week 1:
- Review all concepts learned so far
- Work on at least 2 mini-projects (e.g., Calculator, Quiz App, To-Do List CLI)
- Continue 1-2 hours of problem solving daily
Week 2:
- Explore basics of APIs and Web Requests (requests module)
- Build a simple project using an API (e.g., Weather App)
Week 3:
- Explore JSON, reading/writing JSON data
- Explore CSV file handling with pandas (basic usage)
- Mini-project: Create a CSV-based app (expense tracker)
Week 4:
- Final Project combining all learned concepts (e.g., student dashboard, task manager)
- Prepare for transition to DSA: Learn about time complexity, Big-O notation basics
