INTRODUCTION TO PYTHON:

What is Python?
 Python is a popular programming language. It was created by Guido van
Rossum, and released in 1991.
 Python is used for web development (server-side), software development,
Mathematics and system scripting.

What can python do?


 Python can be used on a server to create web applications.
 Python can be used alongside software to create workflows.
 Python can connect to database systems. It can also read and modify
files.
 Python can be used to handle big data and perform complex
mathematics.

Why Python?
 Python works on different platforms (Windows, Mac, Linux, Raspberry Pi,
etc).
 Python has a simple syntax similar to the English language.
 Python has syntax that allows developers to write programs with fewer
lines than some other programming languages.
 Python runs on an interpreter system, meaning that code can be executed
as soon as it is written. This means that prototyping can be very quick.
 Python can be treated in a procedural way, an object-oriented way or a
functional way.
 Python runs seamlessly on Windows, macOS and Linux.
 Python’s simple and readable syntax makes it beginner-friendly
 Python is free to use, distribute and modify.
Python Syntax compared to other programming languages
 Python was designed for readability, and has some similarities to the
English language with influence from mathematics.

 Python uses new lines to complete a command, as opposed to other


programming languages which often use semicolons or parentheses.

 Python relies on indentation, using whitespace, to define scope; such as


the scope of loops, functions and classes. Other programming languages
often use curly-brackets for this purpose.

 Python can be used for rapid prototyping, or for production-ready


software development.
ADVANTAGES OF PYTHON:
 Presence of third-party modules: Python has a rich ecosystem of
third-party modules and libraries that extend its functionality for various
tasks.

 Extensive support libraries: Python boasts extensive support libraries


like NumPy for numerical calculations and Pandas for data analytics,
making it suitable for scientific and data-related applications.

 Ideal for prototypes : Python’s concise syntax allows developers to


prototype applications quickly with less code .
 Highly efficient: . Python’s clean design provides enhanced process
control, and it has excellent text processing capabilities, making it
efficient for various applications.

 Internet of Things (IoT) opportunities : Python is used in IoT


applications due to its simplicity and versatility .
