WHAT IS PYTHON?

Python is a popular programming language created in 1991


It is used for:
• web development (server-side),
• software development,
• mathematics,
• system scripting.
WHAT CAN PYTHON DO?

• Python can be used on a server to create web applications.


• Python can be used alongside software to create workflows.
• Python can connect to database systems. It can also read and
modify files.
• Python can be used to handle big data and perform complex
mathematics.
• Python can be used for rapid prototyping, or for production-
ready software development.
