Python Basics: Variables, Types, and Control Flow
TLDR: Python variables are labels that point at objects — not typed boxes. The type lives with the object, not the variable. Master truthiness, f-strings, for/while loops, and the handful of pitfalls

Python Data Structures: Lists, Dicts, Sets, and Tuples
TLDR: Python's four built-in collections are not interchangeable — their internals are fundamentally different. list is a dynamic array: fast at the end, slow for membership. dict is a hash table: O(1

Python Programming: Learning Roadmap
You want to learn Python, but every tutorial starts at a different point and assumes different things. One teaches Django before you understand classes. Another jumps straight into decorators without explaining why they exist. You finish a course and still can't confidently write production Python.
Here's the core challenge: Python is deceptively simple to start but deep to master. This roadmap gives you a decision-tree path — from your first script to writing async, well-tested, production-ready Python — without wasting time on things you don't need yet.
TLDR: Learn Python through a structured path: start with language fundamentals, build confidence with data structures and OOP, then advance to functional patterns, async concurrency, and production engineering practices.
