🔹 Key Adjustments for 6 Weeks

• Condensed Fundamentals: Combined loops/conditionals (Day 3) and merged file I/O with dictionaries (Day 6).
• Faster Web Dev: Simplified Flask days (1 intro day → straight to projects).
• Focused Data Science: Prioritized Pandas/Matplotlib over Seaborn.
• Capstone in Week 6: Shorter but impactful project time.
