  • Core Data Structures: Lists, Tuples, Dictionaries, and Sets.
  • Functions and Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) Concepts.
  • Project 1: Create a simple command-line application (e.g., a calculator or a text-based game) to solidify Python programming logic.

Module 2: Data Analysis with NumPy & Pandas (Week 3-4)

Objective: Learn to manipulate, clean, and analyze complex datasets with industry-standard libraries.

2.1 Numerical Computing with NumPy:
  • Introduction to NumPy Arrays and their advantages over Python Lists.
  • Array Indexing, Slicing, and Mathematical Operations.
  • Statistical functions and Linear Algebra basics.
2.2 Data Manipulation with Pandas:
  • Introduction to Pandas Series and DataFrames.
  • Importing Data: Reading from CSV, Excel, and other file formats.
  • Data Cleaning: Handling Missing Values, Duplicates, and Inconsistent Data.
  • Indexing, Filtering, and Sorting DataFrames (iloc, loc).
  • Grouping and Aggregation with groupby().
  • Project 2: Take a messy, real-world dataset (e.g., sales data) and perform a full data cleaning and initial analysis to uncover key insights.
Module 3: Database Management with SQL (Week 5)

Objective: Master the art of querying databases to extract exactly the data you need.

3.1 Relational Database Fundamentals:
  • Understanding Tables, Primary Keys, and Foreign Keys.
3.2 Essential SQL Queries:
  • SELECT, FROM, WHERE for data retrieval.
  • GROUP BY, HAVING, ORDER BY for data aggregation and sorting.
3.3 Advanced SQL:
  • Joining multiple tables (INNER, LEFT, OUTER JOINs).
  • Subqueries and Common Table Expressions (CTEs).
  • Project 3: Answer complex business questions by writing SQL queries against a sample relational database (e.g., an e-commerce store database).
Module 4: Data Visualization & Storytelling (Week 6)

Objective: Transform raw data into compelling visual stories that drive business decisions.

4.1 Principles of Effective Visualization:
  • Choosing the right chart for your data.
  • The art of storytelling with data.
4.2 Visualization with Matplotlib & Seaborn:
  • Creating basic plots with Matplotlib (Line, Bar, Scatter).
