Python

Simple, Powerful, Versatile

Python is one of the most beginner-friendly programming languages. Its clean, readable syntax makes it perfect for learning, while its power makes it the top choice for data science and AI.

What is Python?

Python was created in 1991 with a focus on code readability and simplicity. It uses plain English keywords and significant whitespace (indentation) instead of curly braces, making it easier to read and write.

Python is a general-purpose language, meaning you can use it for almost anything: web development, data analysis, machine learning, automation, scientific computing, and more.
