🚀 Python Starter Plan: Get Ready for Gen AI Engineering

👋 Welcome!
As you begin your journey in the Gen AI Engineering Program, it's essential to build a strong
foundation in Python — the core programming language we use throughout the fellowship.

Whether you’ve worked with C, C++, Java, or any other language before, this plan is crafted to
help you transition smoothly into Python, leveraging your prior programming experience.

🧠 Why Python?
Python is known for its simplicity, readability, and versatile capabilities. It's widely used in:

●​ ✅ Automation​
●​ ✅ Data Science & AI​
●​ ✅ Web Development​
●​ ✅ Scripting & Tooling​
Given its relevance in the AI ecosystem, Python has been chosen as the primary language for
all technical work in this program.

From our experiences, we’ve seen that early familiarity with Python leads to
smoother onboarding, better understanding of concepts, and faster project
execution.​
​
If you're new to Python, we highly recommend starting right away to ensure a
confident and seamless experience in the program.
⛺ What if you're not done before the program starts?
No worries — we've got your back! The schedule includes a dedicated Python Basecamp,
designed to bring everyone up to speed. ​
​
Note: It won’t be a 0 to 1 learning path means we will not teach Python from scratch ​
​
Getting started early will give you a strong head start and reduce cognitive load during the core
phases of the program.

📚 Learning Resources
You can choose either (or both) of these excellent free online resources to begin learning
Python at your own pace:

1.​ Python for Everybody – [Link]/lessons​

○​ Best for structured, video-based lessons​

○​ Includes slides, transcripts, and exercises organized into topics​

2.​ W3Schools – Python Tutorial​

○​ Easy-to-follow explanations and examples​

○​ Includes an in-browser Python interpreter so you can practice instantly​

🧱 Key Topics to Cover


Focus on the following foundational topics as you get started:

●​ ✅ Usage of Variables​
●​ ✅ Data Types and Type Casting​
●​ ✅ Operators​
●​ ✅ Control Statements (if, else, while, for)​
●​ ✅ Lists, Tuples, and Dictionaries​
●​ ✅ Functions and Function Arguments​
These topics will ensure you're comfortable with the core syntax and logic-building required for
AI application development.

⏱ Pace Yourself

This plan is self-paced. Aim to spend at least 30–60 minutes daily in the coming week if you're
new to Python.
