Lesson 1: Introduction to Python
Objective: Understand the basics of Python, set up the environment, and learn basic syntax.
1.1 What is Python?
- Overview of Python
- Applications of Python
1.2 Setting Up the Environment
- Installing Python from [python.org](https://www.python.org/)
- Introduction to IDEs (e.g., PyCharm, VS Code, Jupyter Notebook)
- Writing and running your first Python script
1.3 Basic Syntax
- Print statements
- Variables and Data Types (int, float, str, bool)
- Comments in Python
- Basic arithmetic operations
Exercises:
- Write a script that prints "Hello, World!"
- Create variables of different types and print them.

Lesson 2: Control Flow
Objective: Learn to control the flow of your programs using conditional statements and loops.
2.1 Conditional Statements
- `if`, `elif`, `else` statements
- Logical operators (`and`, `or`, `not`)
2.2 Loops
- `for` loops
- Iterating over lists, strings, and ranges
- `while` loops
- `break`, `continue`, and `pass` statements
Exercises:
- Write a script to check if a number is positive, negative, or zero.
- Create a loop that prints numbers from 1 to 10.
- Modify the loop to skip a specific number.

Lesson 3: Data Structures
Objective: Explore Python’s built-in data structures: lists, tuples, dictionaries, and sets.
3.1 Lists
- Creating and modifying lists
- Common list methods (append, remove, pop, etc.)
- List indexing and slicing
3.2 Tuples
- Creating and accessing tuples
- Differences between lists and tuples
3.3 Dictionaries
- Creating dictionaries
- Accessing, adding, and modifying key-value pairs
3.4 Sets
- Creating sets
- Common set operations (union, intersection, etc.)
Exercises:
- Create a list of numbers and calculate the sum.
- Create a dictionary with personal information and print each key-value pair.
- Write a script to find the intersection of two sets.
---
Lesson 4: Functions
Objective: Learn to create reusable code blocks using functions.
4.1 Defining Functions
- Function syntax
- Parameters and return values
4.2 Scope
- Local vs global variables
4.3 Lambda Functions
- Introduction to anonymous functions
Exercises:
- Write a function that takes a list of numbers and returns the maximum value.
- Write a function that checks if a string is a palindrome.
- Create a lambda function that squares a number.
---
Lesson 5: Modules and Packages
Objective: Understand how to organize code using modules and packages.
5.1 Importing Modules
- Importing standard Python modules (e.g., `math`, `random`)
- Using functions from imported modules
5.2 Creating Your Own Modules
- Creating and importing custom modules
5.3 Installing and Using External Packages
- Introduction to `pip`
- Installing and using packages from PyPI
Exercises:
- Use the `random` module to create a simple dice roll simulator.
- Create a custom module with a function and import it into another script.
---
Lesson 6: File Handling
Objective: Learn to read from and write to files.
6.1 Reading Files
- Opening files and reading content
- Reading lines from a file
6.2 Writing Files
- Writing to files
- Appending to files
6.3 Working with File Paths
- Using the `os` module for file path operations
Exercises:
- Write a script that reads a file and counts the number of lines.
- Write data to a file, then read and print it.
---
Lesson 7: Exception Handling
Objective: Handle errors gracefully using try-except blocks.
7.1 Try-Except Block
- Basic exception handling
- Handling multiple exceptions
- The `finally` clause
7.2 Custom Exceptions
- Creating custom exceptions
Exercises:
- Write a script that handles a division by zero error.
- Create a custom exception for an invalid input and handle it.
---
Lesson 8: Object-Oriented Programming (OOP)
Objective: Understand the basics of OOP, including classes, objects, inheritance, and more.
8.1 Classes and Objects
- Defining classes and creating objects
- Attributes and methods
8.2 Inheritance
- Understanding inheritance
- Overriding methods
8.3 Encapsulation and Polymorphism
- Private vs public attributes
- Using polymorphism
Exercises:
- Create a class representing a bank account with methods for deposit and withdrawal.
- Create a subclass that inherits from a parent class and adds additional functionality.
---
Lesson 9: Advanced Topics (Optional)
Objective: Explore more advanced topics based on interest and necessity.
9.1 List Comprehensions
- Creating lists with list comprehensions
9.2 Generators
- Understanding and creating generators
9.3 Decorators
- Introduction to decorators and their use
Exercises:
- Use a list comprehension to create a list of squares of numbers.
- Write a generator that yields the Fibonacci sequence.
---
Final Project:
Combine the knowledge gained to create a project, such as a simple game, a data processing tool, or a web scraper.
This lesson plan is designed to give a solid foundation in Python, from basics to more advanced concepts. Each lesson includes exercises to reinforce learning.
