Students begin formal programming with Python, starting from absolute fundamentals—data types, composite structures, flow control, functions, debugging, modules, and file handling. DevOps concepts and Git version control are introduced.

Python is one of the most valuable skills for automation, scripting, data handling, system administration, and cloud roles. This week ensures learners can read, write, and troubleshoot Python code, preparing them for higher-level automation tasks later in the program.

Key labs include Composite Data Types, Caesar Cipher Function Lab, System Administration with Python, File Handling, Debugging Labs, Insulin Analysis, and DevOps Tool Evaluation. These exercises help bridge theory with real-world scenarios.
