Welcome to the Python Roadmap to Success
Over the past few years, I’ve helped more than a thousand people learn Python — from total beginners to folks who wanted to get into Python, data science, and web development.
And if there’s one thing I’ve seen over and over, it’s this: hopping from one random video or tutorial to the next doesn’t really work.
What does work is having a clear path to follow, where each lesson builds on the last and helps things actually stick.
That’s exactly what The Python Roadmap to Success is.
This isn’t just a random list of topics. It’s the same step-by-step roadmap I’ve used in my classes and bootcamps to take students from not knowing a single line of code to being confident with Python.
No matter what you want to do with Python — data analysis, web apps, automation, or even machine learning — this roadmap gives you the base you need to actually master Python.
Each part of it is designed to make things easier for you:
You’ll always know what to learn next
You’ll learn things in the right order
And you’ll build real confidence, not just copy what someone else is doing
If you’re serious about learning Python and want to do it the right way, you’re in the right place.
This roadmap itself is free for all my readers. What comes after the basics? That is up to you, but I have roadmaps surrounding SQL, Data Analytics, Machine Learning, and more.
These are for my premium readers.
