Introduction to Python

Introduction to Python

Welcome! And Thank you to choose us for your study partner. We will be teaching you Python, right from the novice to professional.

Python is easy to learn, high level and object-oriented programming language. The founder of python programming is Guido Van Rossum born and raised in the Netherlands, where he received a master's degree in mathematics and computer science from the University of Amsterdam.

For all the readers out there dont worry about anything now. You are on a best learning platform now that is webswithapps tutorials.

Python is a general-purpose interpreted, interactive, object-oriented, and high-level programming language. It was created by Guido van Rossum during 1985- 1990. Like Perl, Python source code is also available under the GNU General Public License (GPL).

It supports Object Oriented programming approach to develop applications.

Reasons which make Python most popular:

1- It has simple easy-to-use syntax to develop applications. It has a vast set of standard libraries to support real life programming much easier. Python is an Inerpreted language, as its the Interpreter which executes the python code line by line, which makes it easier to debug. 

2- It can smoothly run on almost any type of platform including Mac OS X, Windows, All versions of Linux, Unix.

3- Python is processed at runtime by the interpreter. You do not need to compile your program before executing it. This is similar to PERL and PHP.

4- Python is Object Oriented Programming (OOP) Language. This feature makes it more applicable to be used in real world application programming.

5- You can even combine the code of other programming languages like C, C++, COM, ActiveX, CORBA, and Java, etc with python to utilize the best.

6- Python has implementations like CPython, Jython(Targeted for integration with java programming language) etc.

7- Python is not only for doing web programming. It is a multipurpose programming language because Python can be used with web, enterprise, 3D CAD etc.

8- No need to use any data type to declare a variable because it is dynamically typed so we can write z=20 to assign an integer value in an integer variable.

9- Databases − Python provides interfaces to all major commercial databases.

10- GUI Programming − Python supports GUI applications that can be created and ported to many system calls, libraries and windows systems, such as Windows MFC, Macintosh, and the X Window system of Unix.

11-It supports automatic garbage collection.

12- Python can be used in both way, as scripting language or compiled to byte-code for building large applications.
