Day 3: Programming Constructs

I have started looking into the various Python programming constructs. It is pretty easy. There is no much hard and fast rules. We can start executing the statements in Python command prompt only, as it is an interpreter one. Unlike Java, it does not have the job of compiling and running. Also, there is no need of flower bracket or any other brackets. Just an indentation will do to specify the blocks of the code! No need of terminating the statement by semicolon. We can keep writing the code. We can import modules using variety of ways to use it in our program. Python program extension is .py. There is no main method as we see in Java. It will start executing from the starting of the .py file.

Day 2: Python Installation and IDE

Python still supports both 2.x and 3.x. I selected Python 3.0. Then, was looking for good IDE. I tired Atom, PyCharm Community Edition and Eclipse plugin PyDev.  I am quite comfortable with both PyCharm and Eclipse with PyDev plugin. However, most of the time, I am using PyCharm. 

Day 1: Python!

It has been almost 2 weeks I started learning Python! Though I had started sometime earlier in bits and pieces, now I have a strong conviction to learn Python! I realized the power of Python when started learning! It is simple and at the same time so powerful! We don't need to follow several conditions as implied by traditional programming languages.  This is so simple that the code can be read and understood by anyone having minimum programming knowledge! That's was also a reason I was hesitant to learn Python earlier. I had some kind of mindset that if it is so easy, it would not do much powerful stuff.  However, literally, Python is so powerful that we can do almost anything! Right from file operations to game programming to web programming to data science...!  It is up to the individual what he wants to do!  The motivation behind my thought to learn Python is that I want to explore something on the data science. But after started working, I started
