- Conditional Statements (if, elif, else)

- Loops (for, while)

- Functions & Parameters

- Input/Output & Basic Formatting


Week 2: Core Python Skills

- Lists, Tuples, Sets, Dictionaries

- String Manipulation

- List Comprehensions

- File Handling

- Exception Handling


Week 3: Intermediate Python

- Lambda Functions

- Map, Filter, Reduce

- Modules & Packages

- Scope & Global Variables

- Working with Dates & Time


Week 4: OOP & Pythonic Concepts

- Classes & Objects

- Inheritance & Polymorphism

- Decorators (Intro level)

- Generators & Iterators

- Writing Clean & Readable Code


Week 5: Real-World & Interview Prep

- Web Scraping (BeautifulSoup)

Six Steps to Defining a Function

1. What should your function do? Type a couple of example calls.
2. Pick a meaningful name (often a verb or verb phrase): What is a short answer to "What does
your function do"?
3. Decide how many parameters the function takes and any return values
4. Describe what your function does and any parameters and return values in the docstring
5. Write the body of the function
6. Test your function. Think about edge cases.

You don’t need another course.

You need more action.

Stop learning, start doing.

How can you stand out as a software engineer?

Learn the skills that others avoid:

• Learn unit testing.
• Learn CI/CD pipelines.
• Learn automation tools.
• Learn performance tuning.
• Learn security best practices.
• Learn effective branching strategies.
• Learn cloud infrastructure management.

Most fall short here.
