Introduction to python for dummies

Python was developed by Guido van Rossum in the late eighties and early nineties at the National Research Institute for Mathematics and Computer Science in the Netherlands.

Python is derived from many other languages, including ABC, Modula-3, C, C++, Algol-68, SmallTalk, and Unix shell and other scripting languages.

Python is copyrighted. Like Perl, Python source code is now available under the GNU General Public License (GPL).

Python is now maintained by a core development team at the institute, although Guido van Rossum still holds a vital role in directing its progress.

3. What is Python? Python is a general purpose, dynamic, high level and interpreted programming language . It supports Object Oriented programming approach to develop applications . Python is developed by  Guido van Rossum and started implementing Python in 1989 .. Python's syntax and  dynamic typing  with its interpreted nature, makes it an ideal language for scripting and rapid application development . Python is not intended to work on special area such as web programming. That is why it is known as  multipurpose  because it can be used with web, enterprise, 3D CAD etc. www.itedge.in

4. Where it is generally used? Web development (server-side), Software development, Mathematical and scientific analysis of data , Desktop graphical application development, including games. www.itedge.in

5. What can Python do? Python can be used on a server to create web applications. Python can be used alongside software to create workflows. Python can connect to database systems. It can also read and modify files. Python can be used to handle big data and perform complex mathematics. Python can be used for rapid prototyping, or for production-ready software development. www.itedge.in

6. Why Python? Python works on different platforms (Windows, Mac, Linux, Raspberry Pi, etc.). Python has a simple syntax similar to the English language. Python has syntax that allows developers to write programs with fewer lines than some other programming languages. Python runs on an interpreter system, meaning that code can be executed as soon as it is written. This means that prototyping can be very quick. Python can be treated in a procedural way, an object-orientated way or a functional way. www.itedge.in

7. Python and its Versions Python laid its foundation in the late 1980s. The implementation of Python was started in the December 1989 by  Guido Van Rossum  at CWI in Netherland. In February 1991, van Rossum published the code (labeled version 0.9.0) to alt.sources . In 1994, Python 1.0 was released with new features like: lambda, map, filter, and reduce. Python 2.0 added new features like: list comprehensions, garbage collection system. On December 3, 2008, Python 3.0 (also called "Py3K") was released. It was designed to rectify fundamental flaw of the language. www.itedge.in
