In this section, you will be introduced to Python, one of the most popular programming languages known for its simplicity and versatility. We will cover the basics of Python syntax, data types, variables, and operators. You will learn how to set up your development environment using tools like Anaconda or PyCharm and how to write your first Python script. Additionally, we will discuss control flow statements such as if-else conditions and loops (for and while) that allow you to dictate the flow of your programs. By the end of this section, you'll have a solid foundation in Python programming.

This section delves into functions in Python, which are essential for creating reusable code. You will learn how to define functions, pass arguments, and return values. We will also explore built-in functions and how to create your own custom functions. Additionally, we will cover modules and packages in Python, enabling you to organize your code effectively. You’ll learn how to import standard libraries as well as third-party packages using pip. By the end of this section, you'll be able to write modular code that enhances readability and maintainability.

In this section, you will explore Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) principles in Python. You will learn about classes and objects, encapsulation, inheritance, and polymorphism. We will discuss how to design and implement classes in Python, including the use of constructors and methods. Understanding OOP principles is crucial for building scalable applications that are easy to maintain. By the end of this section, you'll be equipped with the knowledge needed to apply OOP concepts effectively in your Python projects.

This section introduces Django, a high-level web framework that simplifies the development of web applications using Python. You will learn how to set up a Django project and understand its architecture including models, views, and templates (MVT). We will cover how to create dynamic web pages by connecting front-end templates with back-end logic. Additionally, you'll explore Django's built-in features such as user authentication and admin interface that streamline development processes. By the end of this section, you'll be able to build functional web applications using Django.

In this section, you'll learn about database management using Django's Object-Relational Mapping (ORM) system. We will cover how to define models that represent database tables and how to perform CRUD (Create, Read, Update, Delete) operations using Django's query API. You’ll also explore database migrations that help manage changes in your database schema over time. Understanding how to work with databases is essential for developing data-driven applications. By the end of this section, you'll be proficient in managing databases within your Django applications.

This section focuses on creating RESTful APIs using Django REST Framework (DRF), a powerful toolkit for building Web APIs in Django. You will learn about serializers that convert complex data types into JSON format for easy consumption by clients. We’ll explore how to create API views that handle HTTP requests and responses effectively. Additionally, you’ll understand authentication methods such as token-based authentication for securing your APIs. By the end of this section, you'll be able to build robust APIs that can serve data to frontend applications or mobile clients.

In this final section, we focus on testing methodologies in Django to ensure code quality and reliability. You will learn about unit testing using Django’s testing framework along with best practices for writing test cases that validate your application’s functionality. We’ll also discuss debugging techniques using tools like pdb (Python Debugger) to identify issues effectively during development. Understanding testing is crucial for maintaining high-quality software that meets user expectations. By the end of this section, you'll be equipped with the skills necessary to implement effective testing strategies in your Python projects.
