Python Mega Course: Learn Python Programming

Python is a dynamic modern object -oriented programming language that is easy to learn and can be used to do a lot of things both big and small. Python is what is referred to as a high level language. That means it is a language that is closer to humans than computer. It is also known as a general purpose programming language due to it's flexibility.

Python is object -oriented means it regards everything as an object. An object in the real world could be a person or a car.

Python is an interpreted language that does not need to be complied like for example java programming language.

It is interpreted and run on the fly the same time.

Python has been used in a lot of places like in creating games, for statistical data and visualisation, speech and face recognition.

Python  is used for:

• web development (server-side),

• software development,

• mathematics,

• system scripting.

What can Python do?

• Python can be used on a server to create web applications.

• Python can be used alongside software to create workflows.

• Python can connect to database systems. It can also read and modify files.

• Python can be used to handle big data and perform complex mathematics.

• Python can be used for rapid prototyping, or for production-ready software development.

Why Python?

• Python works on different platforms (Windows, Mac, Linux, Raspberry Pi, etc).

• Python has a simple syntax similar to the English language.

• Python has syntax that allows developers to write programs with fewer lines than some other programming languages.

• Python 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.

• Python can be treated in a procedural way, an object-oriented way or a functional way.

Some of the biggest websites on this planet earth use python
