Awesome!
Here's a beginner-friendly Python learning roadmap designed specially for
someone from a non-tech background (like arts or humanities). The goal is to keep it
simple, practical, and confidence-boosting.
🧭 PHASE 1: Understand the Basics (Week 1–
2)
🎯 Goal: Get comfortable with the building blocks
Topics:
What is Python? How to install it (use Anaconda or Replit for ease)
Variables & Data Types (string, integer, float, boolean)
Print Statements
User Input
Basic Math Operators
Comments
Resources:
W3Schools Python Basics
YouTube: Programming with Mosh or freeCodeCamp's Python for Beginners
Practice:
✅ Write a program that asks your name and age, and prints a greeting
✅ Simple calculator (add, subtract, multiply, divide)
🚀 PHASE 2: Logic & Control (Week 3–4)
🎯 Goal: Learn how to make the computer "think"
Topics:
if, elif, else statements
Comparison Operators (==, !=, >, <)
while and for loops
range() function
Lists and basic list operations
Practice:
✅ Guess-the-number game
✅ Grocery list program
✅ Countdown timer
🧠 PHASE 3: Functions, Dictionaries & More
(Week 5–6)
🎯 Goal: Start breaking code into chunks and storing more
data
Topics:
Functions (def my_function())
Parameters & Return values
Dictionaries
Nested if and loops
Practice:
✅ Make a program that converts a sentence into "emoji language"
✅ Contact book (store names and numbers using dictionary)
🎨 PHASE 4: Fun Projects for Non-Tech
Minds (Week 7–8)
🎯 Goal: Apply what you've learned in fun, meaningful ways
Ideas:
Build a quiz game
Journal app that saves your thoughts daily
Chatbot (very basic logic)
Text-based adventure story (choose your path)
📊 PHASE 5: Real-World Magic – Learn by
Doing (Week 9+)
🎯 Goal: See how Python can be useful in daily life or work
Choose one path based on interest:
Path Learn Example
🧹
os, shutil, schedule Rename files, send scheduled emails
Automation
Analyze your expenses, visualize
📊 Data pandas, matplotlib
habits
🎨 Creative turtle, pygame Make simple drawings or games
🌐 Web Flask, requests Create a mini website or weather app
🧰 BONUS TOOLS:
Replit – run code without installing anything
PythonTutor – visualize what your code is doing
[ChatGPT 😉] – for asking questions, fixing bugs, learning faster
