## Python and Machine Learning Bootcamp: A 6-Month Curriculum

This 6-month bootcamp program allows for deeper exploration of each topic, more hands-on practice, and the inclusion of additional valuable areas. Here is an outline of this course:

## Month 1 & 2: Python Fundamentals and Object-Oriented Programming (6 weeks each)

### Content:
- **Week 1 & 2:** Python installation, syntax, data types, operators, control flow, functions, modules.
- **Week 3 & 4:** Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) concepts - classes, objects, inheritance, polymorphism, encapsulation.
- **Week 5 & 6:** Data structures (lists, tuples, dictionaries, sets), algorithms (sorting, searching, time/space complexity).
- **Additional Topics:** Regular expressions, debugging techniques, advanced error handling.

### Projects:
- Automate a simple daily task (e.g., web scraping, file manipulation).
- Develop a small OOP-based application (e.g., inventory management system).

## Month 3 & 4: Data Structures, Algorithms, and Postgres Database (6 weeks each)

### Content:
- **Week 7 & 8:** Advanced data structures (stacks, queues, trees, graphs) and their implementations.
- **Week 9 & 10:** Advanced algorithms (dynamic programming, recursion, backtracking) with real-world applications.
- **Week 11 & 12:** Introduction to Postgres Database - SQL language, querying data, database management.
- **Week 13 & 14:** Integrating Python with Postgres - data extraction, loading, manipulation, and analysis.
- **Additional Topics:** Introduction to version control systems (Git), database optimization techniques.

### Projects:
- Develop a data-driven application with Python and Postgres (e.g., customer analysis dashboard).
- Implement a data cleaning and pre-processing pipeline for future machine learning projects.

## Month 5: Flask Web Development and Machine Learning Fundamentals (6 weeks)

### Content:
- **Week 15 & 16:** Introduction to Flask - building web applications using Python, routes, templating, forms.
- **Week 17 & 18:** Develop an interactive web application with Flask (e.g., recommendation system).
- **Week 19 & 20:** Machine Learning fundamentals - supervised vs. unsupervised learning, common algorithms (linear regression, decision trees).
- **Week 21 & 22:** Building machine learning models in Python using scikit-learn - training, evaluation, prediction.
- **Additional Topics:** Introduction to data visualization libraries (Matplotlib, Seaborn).

### Projects:
- Enhance the Flask application with additional features and functionalities.
- Develop a simple machine learning model for classification or prediction tasks.

## Month 6: Natural Language Processing (NLP) and Capstone Project (6 weeks)

### Content:
- **Week 23 & 24:** Introduction to NLP - text processing, tokenization, stemming, lemmatization, part-of-speech tagging.
- **Week 25 & 26:** NLP applications - text classification, named entity recognition, sentiment analysis.
- **Week 27 & 28:** Building NLP models in Python using libraries like NLTK and spaCy.
- **Week 29 & 30:** Capstone project - apply your acquired skills to build a comprehensive project integrating Python, data analysis, machine learning, and NLP (e.g., spam detection, chatbots).
- **Week 31 & 32:** Project presentation, review, feedback, and future career guidance.

### Project:
- Develop a comprehensive NLP-based project demonstrating your understanding of text processing, analysis, and application development.

## Assessment:

- Regular quizzes and assignments throughout each module.
- Project evaluations based on functionality, documentation, and presentation.
- Active participation in discussions, group projects, and peer review activities.

## Learning Environment:

- Additional online resources, tutorials, and industry case studies for enrichment.
- Dedicated mentor support and personalized feedback throughout the program.
