A Quick Introduction

What can Python do?

Welcome to the world of Python :)

Python is really simple to learn yet powerful at the same time. Its syntax is similar to the English language. Python was created by Guido Van Rossum in 1991 and it soon became very popular. Today you can do almost everything in Python including

• Web and software development
• System Automation
• Building bots
• Interacting with Raspberry Pi

Why Python?

• It has a simple syntax similar to the English language.
• It works on all the platforms like Windows, Unix, Mac, Raspberry pi etc
• It is free and open source. You do not have to worry about buying costly licenses

How to access Python?

Python is already installed on CloudxLab. We will cover more details on how to install Python on your local machine later in the course. Let's get started with the real stuff :)

Optional

We will use Python 3 in the course. You really do not have to know what is Python 3 at this moment. We will cover more details on the Python versions later in the course.
