Python is a high-level, general-purpose programming language. Its design philosophy emphasizes code readability with the use of significant indentation. Python is dynamically-typed and garbage-collected. It supports multiple programming paradigms, including structured (particularly procedural), object-oriented and functional programming. It is often described as a "batteries included" language due to its comprehensive standard library. Guido van Rossum began working on Python in the late 1980s as a successor to the ABC programming language and first released it in 1991 as Python 0.9.0. Python 2.0 was released in 2000 and introduced new features such as list comprehensions, cycle-detecting garbage collection, reference counting, and Unicode support. Python 3.0, released in 2008, was a major revision that is not completely backward-compatible with earlier versions. Python 2 was discontinued with version 2.7.18 in 2020. Python consistently ranks as one of the most popular programming languages. Python has come a long way to become the most popular programming language and continues to revolutionize the IT industry because of its Machine Learning, Artificial Intelligence and Data Science functionalities. Python is very famous for its simple programming syntax, code readability, English-like commands that make coding a lot easier and efficient. Due to this, it is the most popular and preferred language. Python is an interpreted, high-level, general-purpose programming language like PHP. Python is an interpreted, high-level, general-purpose programming language developed by Guido van Rossum at National Research Institute for Mathematics and Computer Science in Netherlands. In contrast to popular belief that Python was named after the snake, Python was actually named after the show "Monty Python's flying circus" - Monty Python's FLYING CIRCUS. Guido van Rossum formulated Python in the late 1980's as a successor to the ABC programming language. In 1994, Python version 1.0 was released with features like exception, Lambda, Map, Filter and Reduce. Python 2.0, released in 2000, introduced features like List Comprehensions and Garbage Collection System capable of collecting reference cycles. Python 3.0 was released on the 3rd of December 2008. Undoubtedly, Python 2.x and 3.x have proven to be the most used versions. As of today, Python 3.7.4 is the latest stable version released in the summer of 2019. Python is popularly used for Software Development, Scripting, and Software Testing. Top IT companies like Google, Facebook, Instagram, Spotify and Netflix, among others, use Python for Machine Learning, Artificial Intelligence and Data Science. Some major applications of Python can be seen in the fields of Machine Learning, Artificial Intelligence, Data Science and IoT. Python also offers many libraries like Numpy, SciPy, Keras, Tensor Flow, Django and Flask. Pep-8 is the official style guide that defines the styling conventions for Python code. A few popular open source Python projects include PipENV, Chatistics, solving the travelling salesman problem using self-organizing maps and Python to BPF converter. Some of the trending Python repositories on Github today include, NLP, ML-from-scratch, PyTorch-transformers, and 100-days of ML code, among others. Popular websites on the internet, like Reddit and Quora, are built using Python. Popular games like Civilization IV, Battlefield 2, Sims 4, and World of Tanks are games developed using Python. COURSE REQUIREMENT: Windows OS: A computer with at least 2GB of RAM and running Windows 7 or higher (Windows 8.1 - 10 is highly recommended), Python for Windows OS installation setup, Anaconda Python Interface Installation - for the implementation of Python script, Anaconda Navigator (Anaconda 3), Text Editor: Notepad, Notepad++, and Command prompt. There are three editions of Python. 1. Python version 1.0 was released with features like exception, Lambda, Map, Filter and Reduce. 2. Python 2.0, released in 2000, introduced features like List Comprehensions and Garbage Collection System capable of collecting reference cycles. 3. Python 3.0 was released on the 3rd of December 2008. Undoubtedly, Python 2.x and 3.x have proven to be the most used versions.
