1-Month Python Learning Roadmap
From Basics to Deeper Concepts
Week 1: Python Fundamentals
- Installing Python, writing and running scripts
- Variables, Data Types (int, float, str, bool)
- Operators (arithmetic, logical, comparison)
- Control Flow (if-else, elif, nested ifs)
- Loops (for, while, break, continue, pass)
- Functions (defining functions, return, arguments, scope)
Daily Targets:
Day 1: Install Python, run "Hello World"
Day 2-3: Variables and Data types
Day 4: Control flow
Day 5-6: Loops
Day 7: Functions
Practice:
- Try basic problems on HackerRank or LeetCode (easy level).
Week 2: Data Structures & Built-in Functions
- Lists, Tuples, Sets, Dictionaries
- List comprehensions
- String manipulation
- map(), filter(), lambda, enumerate()
- Error handling (try-except)
Daily Targets:
Day 8-9: Lists and Tuples
Day 10-11: Sets and Dictionaries
Day 12: Comprehensions
Day 13: map(), lambda
Day 14: Error handling
Practice:
- Implement small programs like a to-do list or contact book.
Week 3: Intermediate to Advanced Concepts
- Object-Oriented Programming (OOP): Classes, Objects, Inheritance, Encapsulation
- Decorators and Generators
- File handling (read/write files)
- Modules and Packages
Daily Targets:
Day 15-17: OOP basics and inheritance
Day 18: Decorators and generators
Day 19: File handling
Day 20: Modules and packages
Practice:
- Build small systems like a student management system or simple bank account program.
Week 4: Libraries & Mini Project
- Virtual environments (venv)
- Pip and installing packages
- Libraries: os, datetime, random, math, pandas (optional)
- Mini Project: personal expense tracker, file organizer, or automation script
Extra Tips:
- Spend 1-2 hours daily
- Practice consistently
- Read others' code for deeper understanding
