Python study tracker

My personal Python learning tracker for programming, problem solving, and computer science fundamentals.

Created to better organize learning resources beyond browser bookmarks and YouTube. Browser bookmarks and large YouTube playlists eventually become:

• noisy
• hard to prioritize
• difficult to review
• disconnected from your actual learning progress

A very common problem for self-learners is:

• collecting resources
• not building a learning system

System

You are starting to build the system.

Instead of “saved somewhere”, you move toward: “actively tracked and intentionally organized”. That is a huge difference.

This tracker already gives you:

- current focus ***(most important)***
- future topics
- practice separation
- books vs tutorials
- official references
- package exploration

A good workflow could become:

- YouTube → discovery (its still good for)
- GitHub README / notes → organization
- Practice repo → implementation
- Projects → application
- Documentation → deeper understanding

That is actually a strong developer workflow.
