Step by step guide to becoming a Python developer in 2025
0 of 0 Done
The skills that a Python developer needs are highly dependent on the industry they'd like to focus on.
For example, developers interested in backend web development should be familiar with web frameworks such as Django and Flask. They should also spend some time learning about RESTful design, API management, system architecture, and most likely, some SQL for database querying.
On the other hand, for a Python developer who's more interested in data science (also known as a data scientist), expertise in NumPy, Pandas, and machine learning tools becomes necessary.
If automation is their focus, developers should look into IaC (Infrastructure as Code) tools and configuration management and delve a bit deeper into cloud platforms and deployment strategies.
Universally speaking (now outside the domains of Python alone), writing efficient and clean code along with strong problem-solving skills are essential for any development-related role. And you can boost that up with knowledge of data structures and algorithms and understanding object-oriented programming (or functional programming) to top it all up.
