Python and Docker Learning Roadmap & Checklist

Python Learning Roadmap

Phase 1: Python Fundamentals (Now)

Goal: Write and understand Python scripts confidently.

- Python installation and setup (IDLE / VS Code / Terminal)

- Variables, data types, input/output

- Conditional statements (if, elif, else)

- Loops (for, while)

- Functions and arguments

- Lists, dictionaries, tuples, sets

- String manipulation

- Basic error handling (try / except)

- Writing your own .py scripts

Tools: VS Code, Python terminal (integrated or system shell)

Phase 2: Programming Best Practices

Goal: Build clean, modular, and manageable code.

- Modules and importing Python files

- Organising code into folders

- Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) - classes, objects

- Reading and writing to files

- Virtual environments (python -m venv)

- Using pip and requirements.txt

- Intro to using external libraries (e.g. requests, pandas, matplotlib)

Tools: Git (local use), VS Code extensions: Python, Pylance, etc.

Phase 3: Projects + Web Development


Python and Docker Learning Roadmap & Checklist

Goal: Build real-world mini-projects; understand web applications.

- Build small apps (e.g. To-do list, Weather app, Budget tracker)

- Intro to Flask or FastAPI (basic web apps)

- Basic HTML/CSS for templates (Flask)

- Use Postman or browser to test APIs

Tools: GitHub, Postman

Phase 4: Getting Docker-Ready

Goal: Understand how to package your project into a container.

- Basic CLI navigation

- Understand project dependencies and environments

- Learn Docker: containers/images, Dockerfile, docker build/run

- Use Docker to run a Flask/FastAPI app

- Store image on Docker Hub

- Use Docker Compose (for apps with DB + API)

Tools: Docker Desktop, VS Code Docker Extension

Phase 5: Deployment + DevOps Basics

Goal: Move from local project to hosted app.

- Deploy Docker containers to cloud

- Use CI/CD tools (e.g., GitHub Actions)

- Learn about nginx, reverse proxies (optional)

- Connect app to database in containers (e.g., PostgreSQL with Docker Compose)

Tools: GitHub Actions, Railway / Render / DigitalOcean / AWS / Azure
