A New Language
By: Aravind JT, 10B
In recent years, new languages have been created within the blink of an eye, even if they are adaptations of each other. These languages, that are now so popular, are the languages of code. One of them that has recently come into the limelight is Python.
“Python is one of the easiest coding languages there is” says Eben Upton, the creator of the Raspberry Pi, the most popular platform on which Python is created. To code in this language, one requires various tools, such as a few applications like Spyder or Anaconda. One of the most obvious necessities is, of course, a computer. Python is a computer language that is easy to write, understand, and comprehend. The subject is useful, as one of the major fast-growing sectors of industry is the IT sector, where knowledge of these languages is almost mandatory.
The major appeal of Python is its power to create. Indie game developers prefer to use this due to its flexibility and malleability. For example, a majority of the interface for the game civilization 4, uses Python. Another appeal is that it is quite useful as a paragraph on your resume or job application. It could just tip the scales even further in your favour.
Hey, but in terms of skills, you do not need much at all. You just need to have a good memory. If you do not have that, a piece of paper, a word document, or the documentation software of Python itself. You need this and a computer, which you can use the Raspberry Pi for, as mentioned.
That is all you got to do to learn Python. Ladies and gentlemen, you can really go a long way with one of the most powerful languages in the world. The language of computers.
