Pattern: The Learning Flywheel

Each day follows this pattern:

1. READ    → Understand concepts and examples
   ↓
2. RUN      → Execute code, see results
   ↓
3. MODIFY   → Change examples, experiment
   ↓
4. SOLVE    → Complete exercises
   ↓
5. COMPARE  → Check solutions, learn alternatives
   ↓
6. ASSESS   → Self-check your understanding

Special Learning Moments

Bug Fixing Practice (Days 6 & 8)

Learn like real developers:

See buggy code (Day 6: 5 bugs, Day 8: 5 bugs)
Find issues through testing
Fix incrementally
Compare with professional version
Understand engineering principles

Progression of Difficulty

Day	Complexity	Focus
1-3	Beginner	Fundamentals
4-5	Beginner+	Professional practices
6	Intermediate	Real systems with bugs
7	Intermediate	Design patterns
8	Intermediate	Agile workflows
9-12	Intermediate+	Specialized tools
13-14	Advanced	Data science & ML

How to Use This Repository

For Self-Study

# Day by day approach
cd python_training
source venv/bin/activate  # Windows: venv\Scripts\activate
cd day01_basics
python 01_hello.py  # Run examples
# Try EXERCISES.md, check SOLUTIONS.md

For Group Training
