There are tons of articles out there about why you should learn Python, but I’ll keep it simple. It is easily one of the most versatile languages that you can pick up. It’s great for machine learning, data science, web development, and in some extreme cases, building out distributed systems.
If you plan on becoming a software engineer, you need to have a solid understanding of how to build and work with APIs, particularly RESTful APIs.
They are the glue that connects data together and allows authorized applications to easily access it. APIs define the interactions of your product (i.e. what it does / how it can be used) and allow those interactions to be easily integrated into other platforms. In a sense, they underpin the apps we use everyday. Learn them now, and learn them well. It will pay huge dividends down the road.
