If you’re thinking of learning Python, or if you recently started learning it, you may be asking yourself: 

“Why learn Python and what exactly can I use Python for?”

Learning any programming language is becoming more and more important due to how digitally connected we all are. There are many programming languages but very few find the right balance between powerfullness and simplicity. Python is one of the few exceptions. Currently Python is one of the most popular programming languages used right now in large companies and startups. Large companies like Google, Spotify and Netflix are all using Python on a daily basis, so there is a good chance you have been using something that runs using Python even if you didn’t realise it was.

Not only is Python popular but it is also a great starting language to learn, with its simple and concise syntax which helps you not get confused while writting your Python code and with help from Pythons large collection of libraries you are able to do so much from the beginning. Problems which are complex in other programming languages can be completed in 1 or 2 lines of code in Python due to how beginner friendly Python is. This allows you to start making Projects you actually want to do very quickly.

Python is especially powerfull and useful when dealing with large collections of data as its very easy to manipulate this data using Python efficently. This is a large reason large companies are flocking to use Python. But that doesn’t mean Python is only useful for manipulating data; You can do so much more with Python! Did you know you could create games, build websites and even develop AI and machine learning programs in Python!

By having a good understanding with Python, it will help you learn more complicated programming languages in the future, for tasks that Python is not as good at, and improve your problem solving and creativity skills. Alot of universities are also using Python as the first languages that they teach their students, so learning early will give you a great headstart if you plan to study Computer Science at university!
