Why is Python worth Learning in 2020

Python is a Programming Language which is gaining popularity exponentially. I myself was a Java person, but lately I am loving Python. Python is everywhere, the applications of python are covering a huge domain and solving a lot of problems. Also, Instagram, Spotify and Quora all have python in their backend web development. So, definitely go with learning Python and may be some day you will be a Python Developer or may be a Data Scientist !! 🙂

Why Python ?

But why should I learn Python ? Is learning Python worth it ? ; If you are thinking to expand your skillset or you are a beginner in programming, then go for learning Python. For me the first reason I started learning Python was ; it is simple in regards to syntax like code comes naturally, just like writing an algorithm or set of instructions in English. And the second reason was its super versatile, It has a huge range of Libraries and Modules that can be used for a whole lot of applications.

What can exactly be done by Python ?

Python has a huge application base. But over time I have observed these 3 applications of Python :

• As a Scripting Language : Scripting Languages are used to automate simple Tasks, like sending bulk mails and analyzing emails on the basis of some keywords. This can be easily done by the help of Python. Also, Next time when laziness strikes to you try writing small script of python to automate your task:D.
• Data Science and Machine Learning : Machine Learning, the word itself is intimidating. However, Machine Algorithms can be easily implemented by the help of Python Libraries(Tensorflow and scikit-learn are quite popular for this). Python can be used for Data Visualization and Data Analysis too. The libraries like matplotlib can be used for the same.
• Web Development : Web Frameworks like Django and Flask are quite popular now-a-days. These help in creating backend code, that runs server – side. You can choose any one of them to just get started.

There are more applications of Python Language, like we can use PyGame library to develop games. We can also build embedded applications with Rasberry Pi.

But what to learn ; Python 2 or Python 3 ?

Python 3 is more appropriate as its more new and more modern. I would suggest going with Python 3 over Python 2.

So, we had a lot of Python talk right now !! :D. Let’s take this conversation ahead; Show your love for python, comment down 😀 if I have missed upon something about python. Also, don’t forget to like it, share it, let me know your views upon it.
