Learning programming should be exciting and fun.
However, it becomes tedious and monotonous when you feel lost and doesn't know how to use your knowledge in real life.
We are going to learn python programming by helping Daniel to set up his start-up. Daniel is an Engineering graduate, with some experience and wants to start his own company. Yes, he is going to face some problems in doing so. We will solve those problems using the concepts of programming.
We are going to understand the typical programming terms and solve some interesting problems in a fun way.
This tutorial is made for beginners and intermediates. For beginners, it is a complete journey that they have to go along. And, for intermediates, it has thumb rules and takeaways. Advanced part is beneficial for everyone.
Beginners need not worry, as your status would have been raised to intermediates by then.
But, why python?
Well other than the fact that it is the top programming language choice of 2017. Here are some points that make Python as an obvious option.
- Market Demand: "Automation, Internet of Things, and Artificial Intelligence"; these terms will become part of your job profile if you choose to learn python. You can specialize in any of these fields by learning python. The market suggests that these technologies are the future of jobs, so it's better to stay updated.
- Easy to learn: Python is very simple and easy to learn. It has simple English keywords which makes learning curve steady. It does not have those irritating semi-colon and scary parenthesis. And hence it is trendy among data scientists, programmers, beginners and experts alike.
- Achieve more by doing less: This is a dream of everyone and Python makes this reality with stable and extensive libraries. There is a library for almost everything, and we have to know how to use them and not to make them. Don't reinvent the Wheel, just use it.
- Fast Results: Python is not the fastest language, but it is quick in developing applications. It is fast in an analysis, solving problems and showing results to your clients. Python will enable you to stay ahead of other developers in producing results. Doesn't that mean better pay and Faster Promotion?
- Portable and Interactive: Python can run on a wide variety of hardware platforms and has the same interface on all platforms. It has an interactive mode which makes testing of the component very easy. You can test the part you are having doubts and do not need to check complete program.
- Scalable Web Apps: Python is used heavily in building secure web applications. Due to its scalability python provides a better structure and support for enterprise-level programs. Python also provides the interface to all major databases.
Overall Python is the language of present and will be more in demand in the future. You can use Python interactively just to check code and can scale it to a complete object-oriented program.
