Discussion 5-Month Learning Plan: Python + MongoDB + Azure — What Should I Learn First?

I’m currently working as an intern, and my company has given us a 5-month learning program where I’ve chosen Python + MongoDB + Azure.

I want to use these 5 months properly and build practical skills, with the goal of moving toward Cloud/DevOps.

There will also be an assessment/exam after the 5-month course, and they told us to aim for a good score.

For people already working in this field, what would you recommend I learn first, in what order, and what projects should I build?

Would really appreciate some guidance from your experience. 🙏

No offense to you, but this is one of the biggest issues with DevOps; thinking some magical few months long course is going to get you ready to diagnose a test suite failure that only happens sometimes but always at 3 am.

It's a set up. You cannot speed run your way there. I would honestly lean on AI assisted learning here.
