Introduction to Python Programming:


• What is Python Programming
• History of Python Programming
• Features of Python Programming
• Why to learn Python Programming
• Application of Python Programming
What is Python Programming

• Python is a high level, interpreted, intelligent,


and object-oriented scripting language.
• Python is handled at runtime by the interpreter.
You don't need to compile your code before
executing it.
• Python is very interesting and easy to learn
language. Learning of Python Programming is as
easier as C language.
What is Python Programming

• Python's simple, easy to learn syntax


emphasizes readability and therefore reduces
the cost of program maintenance.
• Python supports modules and packages, which
encourages program modularity and code
reuse.
• The Python interpreter and the extensive
standard library are available in source or binary
form without charge for all major platforms,
and can be freely distributed.
History of Python Programming

• Python was created by Guido van Rossum.


• The design began in the late 1980.
• Soon after that, Guido Van Rossum began doing
its application based work in December of 1989
by at Centrum Wiskunde & Informatica (CWI)
which is situated in Netherland.
• The first release was on February 1991.
History of Python Programming

“Python is an experiment in how much freedom


programmers need. Too much freedom and
nobody can read another's code. Too little and
expressiveness is endangered.”
- Guido van Rossum
History of Python Programming

Why Python was created?

• In late 1980s, Guido Van Rossum was working


on the Amoeba distributed operating system
group.
• He wanted to use an interpreted language like
ABC (ABC has simple easy-to-understand syntax)
that could access the Amoeba system calls.
• So, he decided to create a language that was
extensible. This led to design of a new language
which was later named Python.
History of Python Programming

Why the name Python?

• It wasn't named after a dangerous snake.

• Rossum was fan of a comedy series from late


seventies.

• The name "Python" was adopted from the same


series "Monty Python's Flying Circus".

Features of Python Programming
Python is Interpreted: 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.
Python is Interactive: You can actually sit at a Python prompt
and interact with the interpreter directly to write your
programs.
Python is Object-Oriented: Python supports Object-Oriented
style or technique of programming that encapsulates code
within objects.
Python is a Beginner's Language: Python is a great language
for the beginner-level programmers and supports the
development of a wide range of applications from simple text
processing to WWW browsers to games.
Features of Python Programming

• A simple language which is easier to learn


• Free and open-source
• Portability
• Extensible and Embeddable
• A high-level, interpreted language
• Large standard libraries to solve common
tasks
• Free and open source
• GUI Programming
Why to learn Python Programming

In an independent 3rd party survey, it has


been found that the Python programming
language is currently the most popular
language for Data Scientists worldwide. This
claim is substantiated by IEEE, which tracks
programming languages by popularity.
According to them, Python tops the list of
the most popular programming languages in
2018.
Why to learn Python Programming

• According to Indeed, the average Python


developer salary in the US in 2020 is
$120K per year (or $56.75 per hour),
which grew by 14% for the last 4 years.
• The entry-level Python developer salary in
the USA is $74,435.
• Middle developers earn $100,826.
• Experienced Python developers are paid
on average $127,217 per year.
Why to learn Python Programming

• Python is used in Machine Learning and


Artificial Intelligence
• Python is used in Web development
• Python has a large community
• Python is used in Scripting and
Automation
• Python has many libraries and
frameworks
Application of Python Programming

• Python supports cross-platform operating


systems which makes building
applications with it all the more
convenient. Some of the globally known
applications such as YouTube, BitTorrent,
DropBox, etc. use Python to achieve their
functionality.
