Learning paths

Tracks are independent. These bundle several into the order you'd actually work through them for a specific goal.

🧭 Learning Path
NOC / Help Desk Technician

The most direct path into a first networking support role — how networks work, hands-on hardware and troubleshooting, then the security fundamentals every help desk ticket eventually touches.

1. Networking 2. Embedded & IoT 3. Cybersecurity
☕ Learning Path
Full-Stack Java Developer

Zero to a job-ready Java backend developer — syntax and OOP fundamentals, then design patterns, then the Spring Boot framework most Java jobs actually run on.

1. Pre-Course 2. Beginner 3. Core Java 4. OOP 5. Advanced OOP 6. Design Patterns 7. Spring Boot
🐍 Learning Path
Modern Python Developer

The full 8-phase roadmap in order — fundamentals, the ecosystem, automation, a real FastAPI backend, AI integration, and professional testing/quality practices.

1 2 3 4 5 6 7
⎈ Learning Path
Cloud & DevOps Engineer

Containers first, then orchestration — the standard progression for anyone moving into a DevOps or platform engineering role.

1. Docker Beginner 2. Docker Intermediate 3. Kubernetes Beginner 4. Kubernetes Intermediate
🎮 Learning Path
Mobile Game Developer

Unity fundamentals through shipping a vertical slice, then a full library of production-ready particle effects to polish it with.

1. Unity Mobile Game Dev 2. Particle Systems

Specialized Tracks

Standalone tracks in AI, Python, DevOps, game development, tooling, and security.

🏗️ Track Software Design & Architecture
🤖 Track AI & Prompt Engineering
🐍 Track Python — 2026 & Beyond
Python · Phase 1 · Start Here
Python Fast Track

Built for developers who already code. Translation, not tutorials — cover Python's fundamentals in 1–2 weeks using your Java and C# foundation. 11 lessons, side-by-side Java comparisons, and a real phase project.

Python · Phase 2
Pythonic Thinking

Stop writing Java with Python syntax. Dunder methods, decorators, properties, context managers, generators, itertools, error handling, type hints, and dataclasses — 11 deeply detailed lessons with working code at every step.

Python · Phase 3
The Ecosystem

Libraries are half of Python's value. The packages that appear everywhere in real projects, covered in 10 modules.

Python · Phase 4
Files, Data & Automation

Where Python pays dividends immediately — JSON/CSV/TOML/XML, pathlib, regex, web scraping with BeautifulSoup, task scheduling, and handling secrets the right way.

Python · Phase 5
APIs & Backend

Job-relevant territory. FastAPI, PostgreSQL, authentication, and testing — 9 modules building a real backend.

Python · Phase 6
AI Integration

The layer that makes everything else 10x more powerful — real LLM API integration across 9 modules.

Python · Phase 7
Testing, Quality & Professionalism

The gap between hobbyist and professional Python. pytest, fixtures and mocking, Ruff, mypy, pre-commit hooks, structured logging, and profiling — 10 modules.
