Java + Python (Data Science) Starter Roadmap - 3 Months Plan
Month 1: Java Core Focus + Python Basics
Java (Main Focus)
- Java Syntax and Basics (variables, loops, conditions)
- Functions and Recursion
- Arrays, Strings
- Object Oriented Programming (Classes, Objects, Inheritance, Polymorphism)
- Basic DSA problems on Arrays and Strings (Leetcode/Easy to Medium)
Python (Side Work)
- Install Python + Jupyter Notebook
- Basic Python syntax (loops, functions, lists, dictionaries)
- Introduction to NumPy (arrays, basic operations)
Month 2: Java Intermediate + Python Data Science Libraries
Java (Main Focus)
- Linked Lists
- Stacks and Queues
- HashMaps and HashSets
- More DSA Problems (Medium level)
- Introduction to Trees (Binary Trees basics)
Python (Side Work)
- Pandas (Dataframes, reading CSVs, basic data cleaning)
- Matplotlib and Seaborn (Simple data visualization)
- Mini Project: 'Analyze COVID dataset / IPL dataset'
Month 3: Java Advanced + Python ML Basics
Java (Main Focus)
- Binary Trees Advanced (Traversals, Recursion)
Java + Python (Data Science) Starter Roadmap - 3 Months Plan
- Dynamic Programming (Basics)
- Sorting Algorithms (Quick Sort, Merge Sort)
- Solve 50-70 Leetcode problems overall
Python (Side Work)
- Scikit-learn basics (train simple ML models like Linear Regression)
- Mini ML Project: 'Predict House Prices' or 'Predict Student Scores'
Bonus tips
- 4 days Java practice + 2 days Python exploration per week.
- Revise OOPs and DSA every Sunday.
- After 3 months, decide which side you love more: Full Dev or ML Path.
Motivation
You Got This!
- Master one, be comfortable with the second.
- Build small projects to show real skills.
- Keep consistency, even 2 hours/day is enough if regular.
