Python & Automation

1. Python Fundamentals (~20h) — You can write real scripts: files, functions, data structures, and error handling.
2. Working with APIs & the Web (~10h) — You can pull JSON from any API, handle failures, and turn responses into something useful.
3. Web Scraping (~12h) — You can extract structured data from real sites — politely, with rate limiting and retries.
4. Automation & Scheduling (~10h) — Your code runs on a schedule without you — and tells you what it did.
5. FastAPI — Build Real APIs (~15h) — You can build a typed, validated, documented API — arguably with the best docs experience in Python.
6. Capstone — Personal Automation System (~20h) — One system saves you 2+ hours every week, unattended.
