Python Programming Language for Beginners

Why Learn Python ?

Python is a general-purpose, versatile and popular programming language. It's great as a first language because it is concise and easy to read, and it is also a good language to have in any programmer's stack. With Python you can build everything from simple scripts to complex applications, you can do it quickly, and you can do it with fewer lines of code than you might think possible. As your experiments become prototypes and your prototypes become products, Python makes the experience of writing software not just easier but truly enjoyable. "Come join us! Programming is fun again!". Applications of python includes web development, software development, big data, science, machine learning, GUI, networking and scripting.
