Dead Simple Python: A Learning Journey

Introduction

Welcome to my GitHub repository dedicated to my journey through "Dead Simple Python." This project is not just a learning diary; it's a space where I document my exploration of Python, deepening my understanding by meticulously going through each concept presented in the book. My aim is to grasp Python in a robust manner, and I invite you to join or follow my learning path.

Learning Journey Log

This section is a diary-like log where I will document updates, insights, challenges, and achievements. It is structured as follows:

Date	Topics Covered	Progress
YYYY-MM-DD	Basic Syntax, Data Types	Completed
YYYY-MM-DD	Control Structures, Functions	Completed

Code Snippets and Concepts

Below are some code snippets and key concepts covered in my study:

# Example of a simple Python function
def greet(name):
    print(f"Hello, {name}!")

For a deep dive into more complex Python concepts, see the detailed explanations in each chapter folder.

Resources

• Python Official Documentation
• More Books on Python

Accountability and Progress Tracking

To track your own progress, fork this repository and update the Learning Journey Log table as you advance through the chapters.
