Things I’ve learnt about python so far…
I have recently been awarded a scholarship to study python programming by GemMine Ltd, a company that helps young people connect with their future by putting them under the mentorship of professionals. We started from the ground basics in python and here’s what I’ve learnt this week:
Who created python?
Python was created by Guido Van Rossum in the 1980s, [common knowledge but at least I know the spelling ;) ].
Simple and easy to learn
With syntax so similar to English language, python focuses on readability and programs written with fewer lines. This makes it easier to maintain or debug your code.
Versatility
As a python programmer, you are able to work in different areas in software engineering. Examples are Data science, Web development, Mobile development, etc.
Vast amount of libraries
Python comes with a huge amount of libraries, both inbuilt and those written by third party programmers. This helps in accomplishing tasks faster because common problems would have been solved by someone else!.
I’m really excited and anxious to see how far I can go. Thanks for reading :).
