Python and its uses
What is python?
Python is an interpreted, high-level and general-purpose programming language. Python's design philosophy emphasizes code readability with its notable use of significant indentation.
What are the uses of Python?
1. GENERAL WEB DEVELOPMENT / BUILDING WEB APPS - Python is one of the simplest programming languages, and we mean that in a good way. “Python, unlike other programming languages, emphasizes code readability, and allows you to use English keywords instead of punctuation…The readable and clean code base will help you to maintain and update the software without putting extra time and effort.”
2. SCIENTIFIC COMPUTING + DATA SCIENCE - Python is also used for scientific research and computing and even has several science-friendly or science-specific libraries including:
- Astropy for astronomy
- Biopython for biology and bioinformatics
- Graph-tool for statistical analysis of graphs
- Psychopy for neuroscience and experimental psychology.
3. MACHINE LEARNING - Yes, technically, machine learning falls under data science. Using Python for machine learning is pretty cool, so it felt like it warranted an additional line item. Machine learning includes things like speech recognition, financial services, even the recommendations Netflix serves up every time you log in that make you think, “How do they know?!”
4. STARTUPS - This seems like an odd item to include on the list, but it’s true: Startups, and especially tech startups, love Python because it’s easy to use and scalable. And I mean scalable. Take, for example, Dropbox.
5. FINTECH + THE FINANCIAL INDUSTRY - In 2016, HackerRank released a survey of various industries, revealing which programming languages they were prioritizing when hiri.
