Python Introduction

Python is used for...

  • web development (server-side)
  • software development
  • mathematics
  • system scripting

What can Python do?

  • used on a server to create web applications
  • used alongside software to create workflows
  • connect to database systems. Also, read and modify files
  • used to handle big data and perform complex mathematics
  • used for rapid prototyping, or for production-ready software development

Why Python?

  • works on different platforms (Windows, Mac, Linux, Raspberry Pi, etc.)
  • simple syntax that allows developers to write programs with fewer than other programming languages.
  • run on an interpreter system, meaning that code can be executed as soon as it is written. Prototyping can be rapid.
  • can be treated procedurally, in an object-oriented way, or a functional way.
