Getting Started with Python

First, WHAT is python and WHY should we learn it?

• Python is a high level, interpreted programming language, that focuses on code readability. (That being said, when you get hold on the syntax and the way of code being written, you will easily understand the logic.😎Good for a beginner).
• It is free and open source. You can download the source code, modify it and release your own version.

• Vast support of libraries. The standard library of Python is huge, you can find almost all the functions needed for your task. So, you don’t have to depend on external libraries. But even if you do, a Python package manager (pip) makes things easier to import other great packages from the Python package index (PyPi). It consists of over 200,000 packages.

                            Examples: Scikit-Learn,Numpy,Pandas,etc.,

WHY PYTHON?

Ofcourse, we all have the same motive, getting a dream job, begin a start-up, develop a game, develop a website,etc.,

Famous organizations like Google, Microsoft, Cisco, Dropbox and Spotify use python for their various applications.

In the next post, lets see how to install python and Jupyter notebook!

 

Quick explanations

1. high-level programming language: means english-like code, easy to read and write.
2. interpreted language: Python directly executes the code LINE BY LINE.(even if there are multiple errors it shows a single error from top, making debugging lot more easier).
