Python is general purpose programming High-level language creating by  Guido van Rossum in 1991.It is open-source object-oriented programming language that offers two to ten fold productivity increases over other languages like C, C++, Java, C#, Visual Basic (VB), and Perl.

Why Python?

Because using python you can do more in less time.Its syntax is easy; almost english like. its flexible and extendable. And has huge libraries which you can reuse instead of writing your own.This is the major reason Python is gaining traction.  It used for scripting in enterprise environments and it’s used extensively by Google(youtube, App Engine), Even NASA uses it. It can be used for Web Development ,GUI Applications, Mobile Apps etc. In short, Python is good and you should learn it.

How to Learn Python?

Reading books is so boring! Instead you can watch video lectures on Youtube and learn python.Its free class for people with a little bit of programming experience who want to learn Python. The class includes written materials, lecture videos, and lots of code exercises to practice Python coding.

Get Python

If you are running Linux or Mac, chances are you already have python installed. Windows Users can Download it for free
