β Phase 1: Python Essentials (7β10 days) β± Spend ~1 hour/day.
π― Must Learn: β Data types: str, list, dict, tuple, set
β Control flow: if, for, while, comprehensions
β Functions: def, *args, **kwargs, lambdas
β Modules: import, from, math, random, os
β File I/O: open(), with, read/write basics
β Exception handling: try/except, finally
π Skip: OOP internals, decorators/metaclasses unless used in Django/ML context.
β Phase 2: Python for Django (5β7 days) Goal: Understand the code you'll write daily in Django.
π― Must Learn: β Classes & Objects (only what Django uses)
init, self, inheritance
Models and attributes
β Virtual Environments: venv, pip, requirements.txt
β Django Project Basics:
startproject, startapp, views, templates
URLs and routing
Django ORM: basic Model, QuerySet, filter(), get()
π Skip: Advanced metaclasses, middleware, admin customization (for now)
β Phase 3: Python for Machine Learning (10β14 days, flexible) Donβt need to master Python, just enough to write ML code clearly.
π― Must Learn: β Numpy & Pandas: array ops, indexing, filtering, aggregation
β Jupyter Notebooks: for experiment & quick dev
β Functions, loops, and list comprehensions for data prep
β Matplotlib / Seaborn (just enough for data viz)
π Skip: Async programming, multithreading, Django templating (for now)
