Why you should choose to learn Python as a begginer in coding?

Many beginners today want to learn coding but don't know where to start, so today Iam here to suggest to choose Python as your first programming language. Iam sharing what I learnt when I was a beginner in coding.

The Advantages of Python are:

*Easy to Read, Learn and Write. Python is a high-level programming
language that has English-like syntax.
*Improved Productivity. Python is a very productive language.
*Interpreted Language.
*Dynamically Typed.
*Free and Open-Source.
*Vast Libraries Support.
*Portability.

Basically Python is mostly used in Artificial Intelligence and Prototypes of huge projects. Python is not used in big projects like C/C++, the reason is Python have its disadvantages too!

The disadvantages of python are:

*Speed Limitations. We have seen that Python code is executed line
by line.
*Weak in Mobile Computing and Browsers. While it serves as an
excellent server-side language, Python is much rarely seen on the
client-side.
*Design Restrictions.
*Underdeveloped Database Access Layers.
*Not suitable for Mobile and Game Development

Basically, with some outstanding advantages and too many disadvantages, python is not used in big projects, but still it's advantage matters. Since python is easy to understand, once if we learn python, then we can learn any other programming language easily since all programming languages are of some concept even if they have different code syntax. And imagine your building a game which requires a lot of lines of code and after coding you find that the game don't work properly! In this case, can python act as a prototype language or a Planning language. If we need the assumed game to have 10 functions which requires about 100 lines of codes, python can do the same job in 30-50 lines, thus, its a great time saving work, and after checking everything is okay with the game we can replace the python code with c++ , with the knowledge and confidence that the concept of function will work for sure!

So I hope this blog might have helped you especially beginners who want to learn coding, comment down your thoughts and also stay connected to build a good Developer Network across the globe. Thank you.๐Ÿ˜Š
