0:00 let's talk about python what is it how
0:02 does it work and how you can get started
0:04 today all of that and more in two
0:06 minutes start the timer
0:12 python is a prevalent general purpose
0:14 programming language often used for
0:15 machine learning and data analysis
0:17 python was created by Guido van Rossum
0:20 and was first released on February 20th
0:22 1991. this language is so influential
0:24 that in 1999 the Zen of python was
0:27 released which is a guiding set of
0:28 principles for using python in the
0:30 upmost Mr Miyagi way there are numerous
0:33 reasons why this language is hotter than
0:34 the Backstreet Boys were in 1997. the
0:37 first being that python is very readable
0:39 like it states in the Zen of python
0:41 simple is better than complex and that's
0:43 exactly what the language mirrors python
0:45 can also handle a multitude of different
0:47 jobs for machine learning to data
0:49 analytics web development testing and so
0:52 on there is no need to debate how great
0:53 this language is but how can we use it
0:56 you can download python on the official
0:57 getting started with python page once
1:00 downloaded creating a file with python
1:02 is as easy as naming the file and ending
1:04 it with DOT py these files are also
1:07 referred to as modules then all you need
1:09 to do is print hello world and there you
1:11 go you can brag to all your friends that
1:12 you are the next Bill Gates
1:14 you have probably heard of interpreted
1:16 versus compiled right well python is an
1:19 interpreted language which means the
1:21 source code is converted into bytecode
1:23 that is then executed by the python
1:25 virtual machine this equates to python
1:27 being extremely fast to develop but not
1:29 so fast during the execution step since
1:31 the code is not directly compiled and
1:33 executed but why should we learn python
1:35 probably the most important answer to
1:37 that is just how beginner friendly the
1:39 language is if you're brand new to web
1:41 development my recommendation is either
1:43 Learn Python or JavaScript you can't go
1:45 wrong with either as we mentioned before
1:46 python is also extremely versatile you
1:49 can do so many different tasks with just
1:51 one language lastly python developers
1:53 are extremely in demand there are 36 000
1:56 job postings on ZipRecruiter at this
1:58 current moment for entry-level python
2:00 developers if you want to Learn Python
2:02 and fully Master one of the most
2:03 relevant languages in the world of
2:05 development check out zero to mastery's
2:07 complete python developer bootcamp
2:09 course well you'll go from beginner to
2:11 expert
