Why Should You Learn Python?
If you've thought about learning to code, or already know how to program in another language, chances are you've heard about Python. In fact, it's pretty hard to go anywhere in the 'tech circles' of the Internet without hearing about Python! Why is that, you ask? Well it's because Python is pretty cool, for a lot of reasons. For starters, it's named after the awesome British comedy Monty Python.
If you're new to programming, then Python is a great choice of language because it is easy to learn. Compared to other programming languages, it has much simpler commands that are easy to understand and remember, and you can do a lot more things by writing a lot less code. This means you can get further, faster and have more fun and less frustration. It doesn't get much better than that for learning!
Hmm, but if Python is so simple and easy to learn, does that mean it can't do as much as other languages? Absolutely not! Python is a key programming language used by corporate heavyweights like Google and Disney. There are some pretty great and well-known products that have been built with it, such as Quora, Pinterest, Instagram, Disqus, DropBox, YouTube and even Google's web search spider was written in Python. Python is used for all kinds of purposes from data analysis and machine learning, to website, app and game development. You pretty much can't go wrong by deciding to add Python to your tool kit.
