Plus: Exercises, Projects, and Resources!
- Python 3.8+ installed on your system
- A code editor (VS Code, PyCharm, or any text editor)
- Curiosity and willingness to learn!
- Start with
00_getting_started/- Make sure your environment is set up - Follow the numbered modules - They're ordered from basic to advanced
- For each concept:
- Read the
README.mdfor theory and explanations - Run
examples.pyto see the concept in action - Try
exercises.pyto practice - Check
quiz.mdto test your understanding
- Read the
concept_name/
├── README.md # Theory, explanation, real-world analogies
├── examples.py # Runnable code examples
├── exercises.py # Practice problems
└── quiz.md # Quick knowledge check
# Navigate to any concept folder
cd 01_foundations/01_variables_and_types
# Run the examples
python examples.pyCheck PROGRESS.md to see which modules are complete and what's coming next.
See ROADMAP.md for a detailed learning path with time estimates.
- Don't just read — code along! Type out the examples yourself
- Experiment — Modify the examples and see what happens
- Practice consistently — 30 minutes daily beats 5 hours once a week
- Use the exercises — They're designed to reinforce learning
- Ask questions — If something doesn't make sense, dig deeper
