Free Week 1

Week 1 is free: Python and the engineering floor

No card, no sign-up. This is the real Week 1 of the 90-day roadmap, the same tasks and deliverable paying students get. Tick tasks as you go; your ticks stay in this browser.

This week's tasks

Functions, classes, type hints, exceptions, virtual environments, and basic packaging
Git and GitHub properly: branches, pull requests, resolving a real merge conflict
Command line fluency: bash, piping, grep, curl, reading a stack trace without panicking
Build a small REST API (FastAPI or Flask) with at least three endpoints
SQL basics: SELECT, JOIN, GROUP BY, against a real Postgres or SQLite database

The deliverable

A small FastAPI CRUD service (a notes or task API works fine) backed by a real database, tested, pushed to GitHub with a README that explains how to run it.

Why Week 1 is not about AI

Almost anyone with an AIML degree can wire a framework to an API in a weekend. What gets you hired as a Forward Deployed Engineer is being an engineer first: a real backend, a real database, tests, and a README someone else can follow. Week 1 builds that floor.

Finished Week 1? Weeks 2 to 16 continue the sequence: how LLMs work, retrieval, agents, evaluation, real deployment, and interview practice, plus the tools (The Grilling, Teach It Back, Resume Tailor, Sandbox). Rs. 2,999 once, lifetime access, 7-day full refund.
