What is Python?
Python was first developed by Guido van Rossum, a Dutch programmer, and was first released in 1991. It is now
maintained and developed by the Python Software Foundation. Python I considered to be a high-level programming
language.

Characteristics of Python

• Object-orientated programming – Also called OOP for short, Python is based on the concept of objects
which can store data and code.
• Strong and dynamic – In Python, all variables have types which are crucial, although the language is
dynamic enough to alter the value of variables during runtime.

Applications and usage


• Data science
• Robotics
• Internet of Things (IoT)
• Artificial Intelligence (AI)
• Software development

Why learn Python?


• Very easy language to learn for beginner programmers.
• Widely adopted among software developers.
• Most popular programming language based on the PYPL index.
