Python is an interpreted, general-purpose (multipurpose), high-level programming
language with easy syntax and dynamic semantics. It was created by Guido van
Rossum, and released in 1991.
WHY PYTHON?
• Open source - writing applications with python, you don’t have to pay.
• Huge community support - If you are stuck somewhere during development,
then there’s a community that can help you to get out of that phase.
• Cross platform - Platform independent (MAC/WIN/LINUX)
• Huge set of libraries & tools - you can include the in-built code i.e already
written by someone to speed up the development.
It is used for:
• web development (server-side)
• Education & beginners
• Cyber security & networking
• Desktop applications
• Game development
• AI and Machine learning
• software development
• mathematics
• Data analysis and visualization
• system scripting
