Hello Python

Hi all.......

This is my first blog post.........So kindly give your feedback.

                   The most common thing i noticed on many job openings posted in top companies like Facebook, Google, Twitter, Amazon, Cisco.........etc etc is

"Knowledge of one or more of scripting languages like Perl/Python/PHP "


So........what is a scripting language first of all?

It is a language that supports scripts for automating execution of tasks.

But that doesn't mean that Python is used only for scripting!!!!

Python's is helpful in

  • Systems programming
  • GUI programming
  • Network programming
  • Component integration
  • Database programming
  • Numeric and scientific programming
  • Game programming
  • Serial port communication
  • Image processing
  • Robot control programming
  • XML parsing
  • AI programming
  • Testing tool
  • Natural Language Analysis
This list extends to many other areas of Science.

You can ask, what makes python unique among the other languages?

First, it is an Object Oriented Language and supports all features of OOP languages.The advantage is OOP is an option in python.

Python is free to use and distribute.

Python is portable across all platforms.

It provides dynamic typing, automatic memory management, built-in object types and tools, libraries and third party utilities and thus serves as a powerful language.

We can mix python with C or C++ libraries.

It is easy to learn and use.

No wonder why Python has huge significance in software development.

What are you waiting for, say "Hello" to Python!!!!
