Python Topics - Step by Step
STEP 1: Basics of Python
- Introduction to Python
- Installation & Setup (Python + IDE like VS Code)
- Python Syntax
- Variables and Data Types
- Type Casting
- Input and Output (I/O)
- Comments and Indentation
STEP 2: Operators and Expressions
- Arithmetic Operators
- Comparison Operators
- Logical Operators
- Assignment Operators
- Bitwise Operators
- Identity and Membership Operators
- Operator Precedence
STEP 3: Control Flow
- if, else, elif statements
- Nested if-else
- for loop
- while loop
- break, continue, pass statements
STEP 4: Data Structures in Python
- Lists
- Tuples
- Sets
- Dictionaries
- Comprehensions (List, Set, Dict)
- String Handling
STEP 5: Functions and Modules
- Defining and calling functions
- Arguments and return values
- *args and **kwargs
- Lambda functions
- Recursion
- Modules and Packages
- Built-in modules (math, datetime, etc.)
- import, from ... import
STEP 6: File Handling
- Open, Read, Write, Append files
- Working with Text and Binary files
- File methods (read(), write(), seek(), etc.)
- with statement (context manager)
STEP 7: Exception Handling
- try, except block
- finally, else in exceptions
- Catching multiple exceptions
- Raising exceptions
- Custom exceptions
STEP 8: Object-Oriented Programming (OOP)
- Classes and Objects
- __init__() constructor
- self keyword
- Inheritance
- Encapsulation
- Polymorphism
- Method Overriding
- Class vs Instance variables
- @staticmethod, @classmethod
STEP 9: Advanced Python Topics
- Iterators and Generators
- Decorators
- Closures
- Context Managers
- Regular Expressions (re module)
- Lambda, Map, Filter, Reduce
- zip() and enumerate()
- *args, **kwargs deeper usage
STEP 10: Working with Libraries
- NumPy for numerical computing
- Pandas for data manipulation
- Matplotlib / Seaborn for data visualization
- requests for HTTP
- json for JSON parsing
- os, sys, time, random modules
- tkinter for GUI
STEP 11: Python for Specific Fields
- Web Development: Flask, Django
- Data Science/ML: Scikit-learn, TensorFlow, Keras
- Automation/Scripting: Selenium, PyAutoGUI
- APIs & Web Scraping: requests, BeautifulSoup, Scrapy
- Database: SQLite, MySQL, SQLAlchemy
- Testing: unittest, pytest
STEP 12: Best Practices and Project Development
- Virtual Environments (venv, pipenv)
- Pythonic code writing (PEP8)
- Writing reusable code
- Debugging and logging
- Unit testing and TDD
- Project structure and version control (Git)
