30-Day Python Learning Roadmap

A Structured Curriculum Tailored Specifically for Data Analysts

Objective: Transition from spreadsheet-based analysis to programmatic data analysis. This roadmap avoids
software-engineering heavy topics (like building web apps) and focuses purely on data extraction, manipulation,
aggregation, visualization, and basic statistical scripting.

💡 Capstone Design Recommendation:

Pick a domain dataset matching your industry focus (e.g., E-commerce, Finance, Healthcare, or SaaS). Build
a robust, modular `.py` script or detailed Jupyter Notebook that imports dirty source files and outputs a
perfectly tailored multi-tab Excel dashboard accompanied by automated analytical charts. Document this
project on a public profile (like GitHub) to serve as a portfolio asset!
