Python

What is python? 

Python is an easy to learn, powerful programming language.

It has efficient high-level data structures and a simple but effective approach to object-oriented programming. Python’s elegant syntax and dynamic typing, together with its interpreted nature, make it an 

ideal language for scripting and rapid application development in many areas on most platforms.

Main features:

1.It can connect with database systems and can read and modify files.

2.It supports rapid prototyping and production completed software development.

3.It is an interpreted language which means interpreter implements the code line by line at 

a single time.

4.It can be integrated with the languages like C, JAVA, C++, easily.

5.It is very easy to learn language that makes it developer-friendly.

6.It is dynamically-typed language i.e. the type of a value is finalized at run-time.

7. GUI Program Support: Graphical user interface that can be created using a module

such as PyQt5, PyQt4, wxPython, or Tk in python. PyQt5 is a very popular way to build 

smart applications with Python.

8. Free and open-source:Python language is freely available on the official website.

9. Easily Portable

10. Extensible Language

Applications:

1.Scripting: 

When you need something more substantial than shell commands, but less bulky than C or Java or others. Many Linux distros have utilities that are implemented with Python, since it’s a good balance between being lightweight and being expressive.

2.Application Backends: 

Django, Flask, and other server-side web frameworks are great examples of ways to build web applications in (generally) fewer lines of code than most other languages. YouTube, Reddit, and Quora are examples of web applications whose servers run on a Python backend.

3.Scientific Computing: 

Python libraries like SciPy/NumPy, Matplotlib, and others, combined with the language’s simple syntax, allow scientific computing people to focus on their algorithms, formulas, plotting, and so on, without having to deal with language details that don’t matter to them.

4.Desktop Applications:

 It’s definitely possible to write full-fledged apps for desktop in Python— the language is certainly powerful enough to do it. In fact, you would often be able to write the same apps in fewer lines of code, due to the expressiveness of the language and its extensive standard library. 

5.Mobile Applications:

 This is less common, but it’s entirely possible to develop Android and iOS apps using Python. Kivy is the most popular example of a Python framework that can allow you to do this. Admittedly though, if you want more powerful apps that make heavy use of the Android or iOS SDK, you’re going to have to write at least some parts of your app in languages that aren’t Python.

6. Development of games:

It is other uses of Python programming language, as it helps the game developers to make interactive games. It uses different libraries like PySoy that is a 3D game engine that supports Python 3. Various 

game developers use another library PyGame that offers the functionality of games like Disney’s Toontown Online, Civilization-IV, Vega Strike, and much more, all are created with the help of the Python language.

7.Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning:

Both artificial intelligence and machine learning has a huge scope for the future career. Before, one makes the computer learning depended on the past experiences via data storage method, but now one can easily code the algorithms that create environment which allows the computer to learn by itself. Besides this, the Python programming language is used to support different domains with the help of its libraries which are already exist like Scikit-Learn, Pandas, NumPy, and much more.

8.DESKTOP GUI:

Another significant application of Python is for programming desktop applications. The Tkinter 

library that the Python provides can be used for developing user interfaces. There are other 

various useful kits such as Kivy, PYQT, wxWidgets that can be used for creating the 

applications on several platforms.Apart from these, Python can be used for the 

development of audio & video applications, CAD applications & embedded applications. 

Some of the well- known applications such as Youtube, Dropbox & BitTorrent, etc. use python 

to achieve their functionality.

Future of python 

The awesome benefits and performance of python and its libraries is working as the root 

for its constant growth. This foundation is so strong, that almost all top-notch companies are 

using this language in their code base. Python has topped the list of a programming 

language that simply makes it the most favorite among all another language. There is no doubt 

that no other language is able to compete with it since it is developing at a huge rate. The applications are usually established with the help of python only such as game or web. Hence, even in the future for the coming decade, it is going nowhere. If anything it might go to a new level with AI involvement.

Some Big companies using python:

1)Google: 

2)YouTube

3)Instagram: 

An image sharing platform was a simple language developed on Django (Python framework) before it was acquired by Facebook.

4)Netflix: 

The video streaming platform offer suggestions to its users constantly. Do you 

know what makes this possible. Yes, it’s THE PYTHON!

5)Facebook: 

According to the official blog from Facebook, 21% of Facebook code base is based on Python.

6) Spotify

7) Uber

8) Pinterest

9) Quora

10) Dropbox

Conclusion:

There could be many more things possible, just start learning and you will love this language … 

the more you learn the more you will come to know.
