HOW I LEARNED PYTHON PROGRAMMING

Fall 2018 was the first semester I had contact with courses directly connected to Data Science, hence I took my first coding class, Introduction to python. Nevertheless, I claim that I learned python, not in class but using  FREE  resources on the internet. Every subject covered in class I learned beforehand with a free Udacity python online course.  Additionally,  I had access to a free Python book to aid me on basic subjects.  If you never  coded,  I guarantee that learning python is one of the best ways to get comfortable with coding. Python was made to resemble the spoken and written  English  language. Instructions are fairly easy. If you never coded before, at first you will feel confused; however, you will soon see how easy it is to learn to code.    These are the resources that taught me almost everything I learned This Fall semester:   Introduction to Python Programming by J une   Lee :   https://www.udacity.com/course/introduction-to-python--ud1110   Programmin

HISTORY OF PYTHON

Python is a high-level programming language used for general purpose programming. It was created by Guido Van Rossum and first released in 1991. Guido Van Rossum is a Dutch programmer who created python and  oversaw  its development  until July 2018 . Other key developers to the program  were  Sjoerd  Mullender  and Jack Jansen.    Python  is a programming language that is interpreted not compiled. It is made so that it resembles the normal  English   language . The philosophy behind Python’s creation is to create a language that is simple, readable, explicit. It is very easy to learn and it is used for a variety  of   thing. For instance, Python can be used as an extension language for applications that need a  programming  interface. Furthermore, python contains modules, exceptions, dynamic typing, high-level data types, and classes.   Python was first created at CWI (Centre for Mathematics and Computer Science), which is a research institute in Amsterdam. It was funded by
