Take home message1

On your holidays do something
useful

Why you need to learn Programming

(why to use Python)

Why Python?
Read your code

Write your code

Beginner's,

Professionals, Computer Scientists

Python runs everywhere

Python is Open
Freely usable and distributable,
even for commercial use

Extensions and modules

Written in C, C++ (or Java for Jython
or .NET languages for IronPython)
Powerful Libraries like Scipy and
pylab etc

Who uses Python ?

 Agile software development

Better support ?

Less code is better.

(Better way to say Hello World?)

JAVA

public class HelloWorld {

public static void main(String[] args)
{
System.out.println(Hello, World);
}
}

Python
print Hello,
World

Object Oriented

Forget Curly braces and

Semi-colon

{}
;

Only Beautiful shape

Python Software

Variants of Python
Python acts as a shell
IDLE and IPython
(visual style of the Python shell, Autocompletion, Retention of session state
and syntax highlighting)

Lot of resources

Now lets have hands on with
