QurioSkill Python Specialization — Curriculum Snapshot
A 12‑week, hands‑on program built for learners interested in python programming.
Learning outcomes
Internalize core Python concepts—data types, control flow, functions, and packages—with a focus on problem decomposition and “thinking in code.”
We adopt a hands-on, problem-solving mindset: every class applies concepts to real tasks with mini-challenges, live debugging, and iterative refactoring to build fluency.
Topics Covered
| Topic | One-line explainer | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Data types | How Python represents numbers, text, booleans, lists, and dictionaries. | The right type prevents bugs and enables the correct operations from day one. |
| Functions | Bundle reusable logic with parameters and return values (e.g., def sum(a,b):return a+b) |
Makes code modular, testable, and maintainable as projects grow. |
| Methods | Functions that belong to objects (e.g., "text".upper(), list.append()), including mutating vs non-mutating behavior. |
Promotes idiomatic, readable code and leverages built-ins efficiently to avoid reinventing logic. |
| Loops & conditionals | Make decisions and repeat actions with if/elif/else and for/while. |
Turns static scripts into dynamic programs that handle real-world variability. |
| Modules & packages | Organize code across files and reuse libraries with imports. | Keeps projects scalable and lets you leverage the wider Python ecosystem. |
| Source control (Git) | Track, branch, and merge code changes locally and on GitHub. | Enables collaboration, safe rollback, code reviews, and reliable deployment. |
| Hands-on problem solving (every class) | Apply each topic to mini real-world tasks—pair coding, debugging, and iterating on working code. | Reinforces concepts through practice, builds confidence, and creates portfolio-ready snippets. |
| Projects | Build small but complete tools (e.g., CLI utility, data report, API client, mini dashboard). | Integrates multiple concepts end-to-end and produces visible outcomes for your portfolio. |
