Mode of Learning: Online, Self-paced + Weekly Live Sessions

Week 1: Introduction to Python Programming

• Introduction to Python:

  • Overview of Python, its uses, and the Python environment.
  • Setting up Python, IDEs (like PyCharm, VSCode), and Jupyter Notebooks.
  • Python syntax: Variables, data types, and operators.

• Control Flow and Functions:

  • Conditional statements: if, elif, else.
  • Loops: while loops, for loops, and range function.
  • Functions: Defining, passing arguments, and returning values.

• Project 1: Simple Calculator

  • Build a simple calculator that performs basic operations (addition, subtraction, etc.).

Outcome: A solid understanding of Python syntax, basic control flow, and functions.

Week 2: Data Structures and Object-Oriented Programming (OOP)

• Core Data Structures:

  • Lists: Indexing, slicing, and list operations.
  • Tuples, Sets, and Dictionaries: Differences and applications.
  • String Manipulation: Slicing, formatting, and string methods.

• Object-Oriented Programming:

  • Introduction to OOP: Classes, objects, inheritance, and polymorphism.
  • Methods, constructors, and class attributes.

• Project 2: To-Do List App with OOP

  • Build a To-Do List application using Python classes to manage tasks (add, remove, display).

Outcome: Mastery of Python data structures and the basics of object-oriented programming.

Week 3: File Handling, Regular Expressions, and Error Handling

• File Handling:

  • Reading from and writing to files (text, CSV).
  • Working with file paths and directories.

• Regular Expressions:

  • Introduction to regular expressions for pattern matching.
  • Using the re module to search, match, and replace text.

• Error Handling:

  • Understanding exceptions and handling errors using try, except, finally.

• Project 3: Text File Processor

  • Build a program that processes a text file: Count words, find patterns using regex, and handle errors.

Outcome: Proficiency in file handling, regular expressions, and Python error handling.

Week 4: Advanced Python Concepts

• Advanced Python Topics:
  • List comprehensions and dictionary comprehensions.
  • Lambda functions, map, filter, and reduce.
  • Decorators: Function wrappers to modify behavior.
• Modules and Libraries:
  • Introduction to popular Python libraries (e.g., math, datetime, random).
  • Working with third-party libraries via pip (e.g., requests, beautifulsoup).
• Project 4: Web Scraper
  • Build a web scraper using requests and BeautifulSoup to extract data from a website.

Outcome: Deep understanding of advanced Python features and working with libraries.

Week 5: Working with Databases and APIs

• Working with Databases:

  • Introduction to SQLite and relational databases.
  • Performing CRUD operations with SQLite.

• APIs and JSON:

  • Fetching data from REST APIs using Python’s requests module.
  • Working with JSON data and parsing it into Python objects.

• Project 5: Contact Manager with SQLite

  • Build a contact management app that stores and retrieves user data from an SQLite database.

Outcome: Mastery of database operations and interacting with external APIs.

Week 6: Final Project & Career Preparation

• Final Project:
  • Choose a final project to integrate everything you’ve learned. Possible project ideas:
    • A command-line budgeting app.
    • A weather forecasting app that pulls data from an API.
    • A personal portfolio website generator using Python.
• Career Preparation:
  • Resume and portfolio building: Showcase your completed projects.
  • Interview preparation: Python-specific coding challenges, algorithmic problem-solving, and tips for job interviews.
• Project 6: Final Capstone Project
  • Complete the final project, integrating Python concepts such as file handling, APIs, OOP, and databases.

Outcome: By the end of the course, you’ll have a fully functional Python application to showcase in your portfolio and be prepared for technical interviews.
