Why I chose Python

A few time ago, I thought that Python was just for scientists who want to handle data or for geeks who want to automate things.

But Python is powerful !

Python is really everywhere

That’s the most popular language for just over a year according to PYPL (PopularitY of Programming Languages), or the TIOBE index.

Python syntax is quite simple, even if you’re not a programmer, you can easily understand what a function do.

Python: A Matter Of Style (PEP8)

No bracket, just indentation!

Each programmer needs to respect this syntax to see his code work.

By the way, PEP8 is a style guide, a set of rules to get style standardization.

Python: From School To Cinema, And Even For The Web

Python has replaced BASIC language in the students scientific calculator.

It’s used into scripts of Industrial Light & Magic, special effects company of George Lucas, since 1996.

We find Python in 3D modelling software as Blender.

In CAD (conception aided design) live FreeCAD Project Association.

Or with Django in websites like Instagram, Pinterest, Mozilla.

We can do all we want with Python : scripts, web, ML…!

And maybe, it will replace JavaScript directly in our Apps thanks to the tag. Not ready for production but It’s an Anaconda project.

Why I Chose Python?

I think that, as programmers, we should develop severals skills, discover new things to follow what drives us and create our dreaming job.

Me, my dream is to do freelance jobs linked to data science, machine learning and AI.

This job, will allow me to resolve my customer’s problems giving us the value I have learnt and what I’m continuously learning.

That’s my vision of a developer!

And you? What’s your vision?

What’s your dreaming job?
