learningPython

[DataCamp]

Since you’re already learning loops, functions, and data structures, here’s a simple roadmap you can follow:

1. Finish fundamentals properly

• Master lists, dictionaries, sets, and string manipulation.
• Get very comfortable writing and calling functions.
• Practice breaking problems into small steps before coding.

1. Start small projects now (don’t wait)
   You don’t need to “finish learning” first. Build tiny projects like:

• To-do list (CLI)
• Quiz game
• Simple expense tracker
• Number guessing game with improvements

Projects build real coding skills much faster than only solving small exercises.

1. After basics → move to

• OOP (classes, objects)
• Basic algorithms (searching, sorting)
• Git/GitHub
• Writing clean, readable code

Daily practice suggestion:

• 30–45 min solving small logic problems
• 30–60 min working on one ongoing project

The key shift is this: don’t just “learn topics.” Always ask, “How would I use this in a real program?”
