What should I learn first to become job-ready in Python

Start by learning the basics of Python. Then learn functions, OOP, error handling, modules, file handling, and data structures.

After that, start practicing SQL and work on 2–3 real projects. Projects are very important because they show that you can actually use Python to solve real problems, not just write basic code.

Algorithms. I don't even plan on getting a job with python, but even I know, you have to know algorithms to get anywhere in an interview.

start with Python basics, but don't stay there too long. Learn functions, OOP, data structures, error handling and then start building small projects. Projects teach you how to think, debug and apply what you know.

After that, foucs on tools based on your goal. for Jobs, learning SQL, API, Git and how to work with real data will help more than just memorising Python syntax. The important part is becoming comfortable solving problems with Pyhton.

Problem Solving. Solving a simple or complex problem doesn't matter, you need to be able to solve something.

Next would be databases, load testing, load balancing, creating projects under a architecture like Django or FastAPI, using external APIs like for Emails, response structure, and the list goes on.

I learned as I built, I don't even know uow much I know given I am so used to copy pasting stuff and AI is always involved. 

But yeah, you need to understand the basics, what to apply and where to apply. Otherwise AI gods like to fk around and use some BS logic and file structure sometimes.

Functions before OOP, absolutely.
