1. Python Language

Python is a high-level, structured, open-


source programming language that can
be used for a wide variety of
programming tasks.

Python was created by Guido Van


Rossum in the early 1990s.
1.1. Python Features
● Simple
● Easy to Learn
● Free and Open Source
● High-level Language
● Portable
● Interpreted
● Object Oriented
1.2. The Zen of Python
● Beautiful is better than ugly.
● Explicit is better than implicit.
● Simple is better than complex.
● In the face of ambiguity, refuse the temptation
to guess.
● Now is better than never.
● If the implementation is easy to explain, it may
be a good idea.

Google Firefox Rdio
Bitly Prezi Disqus
Reddit Evenbrite Washington Post
3.2. Popular Web Frameworks
● Django
○ Bitbucket, Pinterest, Instagram, and
The Onion

● Pyramid
○ Dropbox, Fedora

● Flask
3.3. Web Frameworks Comparison
● Django is best for:
○ Developers who aim to include all the batteries a web application will need.
○ Developers who wants to use ORM, templating, routing, authentication, database administration
and bootstrapping on the go

● Pyramid is best for:


○ Developers working on API projects
○ Prototyping a concept
○ Developing large web applications, such as a CMS

● Flask is best for:


○ Developers who care about best practices
○ Developers who want to prototype something quickly
○ Developers who need a standalone app
4. The Basics
$ python
>>> print("Hello World!")
Hello World!
