What is the Python language - CS academy

 What is the Python language

Python Python is written in Arabic and is a high-level programming language invented by Guido Van Rossum while working at the Centrum Wiskunde & Informatica research center in 1986.

In 1991, the first edition of it was published to make it accessible to all.

This language continued to be developed and many advantages were added to it in each new version of it to this day until it became one of the most important languages of the era that can be used to build desktop programs, web applications, games, scripts, etc..

Python works on all major operating systems such as Windows, Mac OS, Linux, Unix, etc.. and is considered one of the most popular programming languages ever.

Advantages of the Python language for developers

It is very popular and there are many references for anyone who wants to learn it.

Simple and very easy to learn compared to other languages.

If you create a program using the Python language, it works on any system in the world, and this is one of the most important things that motivates you to learn it.

Nowadays, it is considered one of the most demanded languages in the labor market, that is, if you want to enter the labor market, the Python language provides you with many opportunities.

One of the most important languages used by missionaries in the field of information security and ethical hacking.

Advantages of the Python language over other programming languages

physically

You will not pay any amount to work on the Python language, as it is open source and free, and it will remain free for life.

Technically

You can program with it even if your computer is weak or old.

Ease of reading and modification

It is very easy to learn and the code written in it can be easily read and modified.

Work on more than one platform

The program that you build using the Python language works on the most important operating systems such as Windows, Mac OS, Linux, Unix.

Orientation object

Supports class, object, encapsulation, inheritance, etc.

multitasking

Python provides you with the Multithreading technology, which allows you to make your program able to execute several commands together and at the same time.

Databases

Python provides ready interfaces to deal with the most important databases.

user interface

Applications that have a user interface can be built in them.

Dealing with other programming languages

You can deal with other programming languages (such as C, C++, Java) within your program written mainly in Python.

Other programming languages interact with Python

Most programming languages support dealing with the Python language, meaning that they allow you to use code written in Python in programs written primarily in other programming languages (such as C, C++, Java).

studies programs

Many institutes and universities, whether foreign or Arab, are teaching them to students.

Who is this reference prepared for?

This reference is made for all people who want to learn.

So whether you are an amateur, a student or a programmer, this reference will help you understand the basics of the Python language and reach a very advanced level.

In the next lesson, we will guide you to download the Python language tools that we will use to explain and that you can use to build your own applications in the future.
