00:00In this video, I'm going to answer the top three questions my students ask me about Python.
00:06What is Python? What you can do with it? And why is it so popular? In other words,
00:11what does it do that other programming languages don't? Python is the world's fastest growing and
00:17most popular programming language, not just amongst software engineers, but also amongst
00:22mathematicians, data analysts, scientists, accountants, network engineers, and even kids.
00:29Because it's a very beginner-friendly programming language. So people from different disciplines
00:35use Python for a variety of different tasks, such as data analysis and visualization,
00:40artificial intelligence and machine learning, automation. In fact, this is one of the big
00:45uses of Python amongst people who are not software developers. If you constantly have to do boring,
00:51repetitive tasks, such as copying files and folders around, renaming them, uploading them to a server,
00:57you can easily write a Python script to automate all that and save you time. And that's just one
01:02example. If you continuously have to work with Excel spreadsheets, PDFs, CSV files, download websites
01:09and parse them, you can automate all that stuff with Python. So you don't have to be a software
01:14developer to use Python. You could be an accountant, a mathematician, or a scientist and use Python to
01:20make your life easier. You can also use Python to build web, mobile, and desktop applications,
01:26as well as software testing or even hacking. So Python is a multi-purpose language. Now, if you have
01:33some programming experience, you may say, but Mosh, we can't do all this stuff with other programming
01:38languages. So what's the big deal about Python? Here are a few reasons. With Python, you can solve
01:44complex problems in less time with fewer lines of code. Here's an example. Let's say we want to
01:50extract the first three letters of the text. Hello, world. This is the code we have to write in C
01:56sharp. This is how we do it in JavaScript. And here's how we do it in Python. See how short
02:02and
02:02clean the language is? And that's just the beginning. Python makes a lot of trivial things really easy
02:08with a simple yet powerful syntax. Here are a few other reasons why Python is so popular.
02:14It's a high-level language, so you don't have to worry about complex tasks, such as memory management,
02:20like you do in C++. It's cross-platform, which means you can build and run Python applications
02:26on Windows, Mac, and Linux. It has a huge community, so whenever you get stuck, there is someone out there
02:33to help. It has a large ecosystem of libraries, frameworks, and tools, which means whatever you
02:39want to do, it is likely that someone else has done it before, because Python has been around for over
02:4420 years. So in a nutshell, Python is a multi-purpose language with a simple, clean, and beginner-friendly
02:52syntax. All of that means Python is awesome. Technically, everything you do with Python you can do with
02:58other programming languages, but Python's simplicity and elegance has made it grow way more than other
03:04programming languages. That's why it's the number one language employers are looking for. So whether
03:10you are a programmer or an absolute beginner, learning Python opens up lots of job opportunities to you.
03:16In fact, the average Python developer earns a whopping $116,000 a year. If you found this video helpful,

03:30channel because I have a couple of awesome Python tutorials for you. You're going to see them on the
03:34screen now. Here's my Python tutorial for beginners. It's a great starting point if you have limited or no
03:41programming experience. On the other hand, if you do have some programming experience and want to quickly
03:46get up to speed with Python, I have another tutorial just for you. I'm not going to waste your time
03:52telling you what a variable or a function is. I will talk to you like a programmer. There's never
03:57been a better time to master Python programming. So click on the tutorial that is right for you and
04:02get started. Thank you for watching.
