Hey there! Here's a concise introduction to Python and your planned roadmap.
What is Python? 🐍
Python is a high-level, interpreted, general-purpose programming language. Created by Guido van Rossum and first released in 1991, it's known for its clean syntax and readability, which makes it an excellent choice for beginners. Python's design philosophy emphasizes code readability with its notable use of significant indentation. It supports multiple programming paradigms, including structured, object-oriented, and functional programming.
Python is incredibly versatile and used across many domains. Some of its most popular applications include web development (using frameworks like Django and Flask), data science and machine learning (with libraries such as NumPy, Pandas, and Scikit-learn), automation (scripting), and game development. Its vast ecosystem of libraries and frameworks is a key reason for its popularity and power.
