Why should you learn Python

Why You Should Learn Python?

Python is one of the most loved programming languages by developers, data scientists, software engineers, and even hackers because of its versatility, flexibility, and object-oriented features. Many of the web and mobile applications we enjoy today are because of Python’s abundant libraries, various frameworks, vast collections of modules, and file extensions. Not only that, Python is great for building micro-project to macro enterprise web services, as well as on supporting other types of programming languages.

Although it’s a high-level language and can do complex tasks, Python is easy to learn and has a clean syntax. Therefore, it's recommendable for both beginners and experienced programmers. Also, there are plenty of ways on how to learn Python; you can do self-study, enroll yourself in coding bootcamp or school or watch online tutorials. The choice is yours to make!

Python can be used on the following:

  1. Multiple Programming Paradigms

  2. Web Testing

  3. Data Extraction

  4. Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Data Science Researches

  5. Web Application and Internet Development

  6. Database Easy Access, Interface Customization, and Quick System Integration

  7. Cybersecurity

So why you should learn Python

1. Career Opportunities and Salary

As Python is rapidly ceasing the popularity amongst developers and various other fields, its contribution to the advancement of your career is immense.

There are reasons why Python is “the one”. It is easily scripted language that can be learned quickly. Hence reducing the overall development time of the project code. It has a set of different libraries and APIs that support data analysis, data visualization, and data manipulation.

2. Data Science

Data science experts expect this trend to continue with increasing development in the Python ecosystem. And while your journey to learn Python programming may be just beginning, it’s nice to know that employment opportunities are abundant (and growing) as well.

3. Machine Learning

Machine Learning can be an incredibly beneficial tool to uncover hidden insights and predict future trends. This Machine Learning with Python will give you all the tools you need to get started with supervised and unsupervised learning.

4. Web Development

The language of Python is extremely powerful and very advanced for web design and development. Developers with this skill are in great demand, but it is difficult to find a high-quality web development company that uses Python for web development. There are many web development and design languages a company can use, but Python is the best programming language out there because it is so advanced and complex.

5. Scripting and Automation

There’s a huge range of tasks that you might opt to automate by writing a Python script. Python users can use their creativity to create innovative automated solutions for the repetitive tasks they encounter in their daily life.

6. Libraries and Packages

There are actually three different ways to define a module in Python:

A module can be written in Python itself.

A module can be written in C and loaded dynamically at run-time, like the re (regular expression) module.

A built-in module is intrinsically contained in the interpreter, like the itertools module.

7. Active Community!

Python has a great active community and a lot of forums which you can join and learn and find solutions for your problem get the new updates and more

8. Easy to Use

Python is widely considered one of the easiest programming languages for a beginner to learn, but it is also difficult to master. Anyone can learn Python if they work hard enough at it, but becoming a Python Developer will require a lot of practice and patience.

Moreover, Python integration and flexibility allows it to run with other programming languages. Some examples of Python implementations with other languages:

Jython – Python integrated with Java.

CPython – Python integrated with C.

RubyPython – Python integrated with C.
