PYTHON INTRO
What is Python?
Python is a popular programming language. It was created by 
It can be used for:
- mathematics,
- software development,
- web development (server-side),
Python Can
- be used on a server to create web applications.
- be used alongside software to create workflows.
- connect to database systems. It can also read and modify files.
- be used for rapid prototyping, or for production-ready software development.
- be used to handle big data and perform complex mathematics.
Why Python?
- It works on different platforms (Windows, Mac, Linux, Raspberry Pi, etc).
- It has a simple syntax similar to the English language.
- It has a syntax that allows developers to write programs with fewer lines than some other programming languages.
- It 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.
- It can be treated in a procedural way, an object-oriented way or a functional way.
Must know
- The most recent major version of Python is Python 3, which we shall be using in this tutorial.
- In this tutorial, Python will be written in a text editor. It is possible to write Python in an Integrated Development Environment, such as Thonny, Pycharm, Netbeans or Eclipse but we will be using Vscode as it is the best.
Python Syntax compared to other 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.
Example
print("Hello, World!")
Wow!
