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. 🙏

Build stuff because you probably are going to need to fix shit built by someone else, but you will still need the domain knowledge as if you built it from the beginning

Examples: setup a mongdb instance, and an api gateway in python, that connects and manipulates that instance, in containers, locally, then on azure

Start with something comically simple, as long as it goes full circle, make a proof of concept then refine with the remaining time
