Python Introduction

What is Python?

Python is what is known as a high-level, dynamic, interpreted, object-oriented programming language. It was developed by Guido Van Rossum in the late 1980s. But its implementation was started in 1989. As it is not a machine-level language, it needs an “interpreter” to “compile” it to machine language so that the computer can understand.

How does Python differ from other Programming Languages?

Python differs from other programming languages in several different. For starters, Python is typically easier to learn and use than languages in the same class, such as Java and C++. Programs created in Python also take less time to create, as it requires less code (in general). 

Python is also extremely versatile. Python can be used for applications in virtually every arena, including gaming, desktop software, mobile apps, and even virtual reality.

Why choose Python?

Python is currently the most-used programming language in the world today and is the fastest-growing as well. Here are  just a few ways in which Python can benefit a programmer:

Increased productivity: Python can increase a programmer’s productivity. It is much faster.

Extensibility: One great advantage of Python is the fact that it has a very extensive library of, well, libraries. A library is a set of existing code you can add-in to your program. These libraries cover things that are common features of a program and save you from having to write the code over and over again yourself.

Portability:Python runs on many platforms and systems, meaning your programs can reach a wider audience.

Python frameworks:Frameworks are like skeletons for a program – they allow you to quickly set up the basics for certain types of applications without needing to code common elements that usually exist in the type of software you are developing. This saves programmers time and reduces the number of errors that can occur when you have to manually code.

Python is flexible: Because Python has so many uses and is used by so many companies around the world, finding a job after learning Python is easier than with other languages. In addition, if you do not like a given field, you can always use your Python skills to try a different path. For example, if you find that coding applications are boring, you could switch to network administration or work at an IT security firm.

Python is fun: Python is a fun language to learn; as stated, not only is it easy to get started but the Python community host many fun events and challenges. For example, many people write their Python code in poetry form and there are numerous Python “challenges” released every year to help test a coder’s skills.

Pros and Cons of Python

Pros:

• Python is easy to learn for even a newbie developer. Its code is easy to read and you can get a lot of things just by looking at it.
• Supports multiple systems and platforms.
• Object-Oriented Programming is driven.
• It has a plethora of frameworks to make web programming flexible.
• It gives rise to quick development. Even a small team can handle Python effectively.
• Even the most complex applications can be scaled with ease.
• A large number of resources are available for Python

Cons:

• This is not a very good language for mobile development.
• Also not a good choice for memory-intensive tasks.
• It's too hard to build a high-graphic game using this language.
• It does not allow full access to the database.
• Not a good choice for multi-processor/multi-core work.
