Learning Python | Part 1 | About Python and Installation | Heymun Pareek

Good Day to my friends.
WHAT IS PYTHON | WHY I RECOMMEND IT AS A GOOD PROGRAMMING LANGUAGE TO START WITH?

Python is an easy to learn, powerful programming language. It has efficient high-level data structures and a simple but effective approach to object-oriented programming. Python’s elegant syntax and dynamic typing, together with its interpreted nature, make it an ideal language for scripting and rapid application development in many areas on most platforms.

An important thing to notice is that the python interpreters, extensive standard libraries are mostly freely available in sites like www.python.org The same site also contains distributions of and pointers to many free third-party Python modules, programs and tools, and additional documentation.

Well, we shall understand more about them later...

As an extra info

The Python interpreter is easily extended with new functions and data types implemented in C or C++ (or other languages callable from C). Python is also suitable as an extension language for customizable applications.

I highly recommend all of you to please read books on python programming courses like Python Crash Course. Invent Your Own Computer Games with Python, 4th edition.

Think Python: How to Think Like a Computer Scientist, 2nd edition.

And many more. You may search for some interesting books of your choice on your web browser.

For those who work much on the computers or even for the people who like computers – you might want to automate some tasks by making a GUI program, or a search – replace program, if u like playing video games u might even create one or do make your tasks easier by automation, python is a language for you.

Why python is easier to use??

Python provides much more structure and support than shell scripts or batch files.

Shell scripts and batch files are both run by a command interpreter. Both of them perform similar functions like they help in execution of tasks, in administration of the tasks and may help in printing. Both may be used in installation programs

Batch files can be run by bash. It is most commonly used in installation programs and in administrating tasks, ie, it may be in laptops/computers/pcs. Shell scripts can run more flexibly than batch files and can perform similar types of tasks, but more flexibly. We can add GUI in Linux shell scripts. However, the most dynamic amongst both of them is python language. Python language performs wide range of dynamic programs and supports languages like c, c++ or any other language compatible with C

Bash Scripting is also an easy programming language to start with.

This might seem a bit complicated, I have tried my best to explain it in the simplest way possible. If u have any further queries please do write them in the comment box below.
