Why We Chose Python Programming
In the field of coding education for kids, there are so many different softwares and platforms for teaching programming to students. So why Python Programming?
There are many platforms that provide a graphical approach to teach the programming fundamentals and problem-solving processes. These platforms can be drag-and-drop-based, with little actual coding. Sounds good?
In most cases, students will still require learning an actual programming language before they can create useful applications.
An Actual Professional Programming Language
Prgramly skips that additional step. We teach students one of the most popular programming languages in the world today – Python.
Python is relatively easy to use. This is because the words and grammar applied is very similar to the English language. Which means it is a lot more straightforward to translate problems into programs and cutdown additional mental gymnastics.
Open-Source Resources & Huge Community
Python is also open-source and has lots of resources. Python programmers put together a huge community and continue to support each other in technical questions. This community also created programs and libraries for everyone to quickly develop what they want.
Popular Programming Language
So what are some of the examples that have been built using Python?
Netflix, Google, YouTube, Instagram, Uber, Dropbox.
Used in Data Analytics
Above that, Python Programming is also commonly used in Data Analytics.
Data Analysts makes sense of the data they collected then tailor business needs around useful information. In 2021, Data Analysts based in Singapore were paid on average SGD $4,500 per month or > SGD $54,000 / year.
Used for A.I.
Beyond that, programmers fluent with Python may also delve into machine learning or more commonly known to the masses as “Artificial Intelligence”.
If you refer A.I. to the ones you see in Tony Stark’s arsenal, you are not too far off. In reality, A.I. continues to manifest in non-humanoid form and often without voice. The driverless cars require A.I. to a huge extent on helping them make safe decisions.
Additionally, an A.I. can help spot patterns better and more easily than humans. It can virtually keep running non-stop whereas humans get tired over time.
So, Python programming is the start to all of these machine learning and artificial intelligence.
Language parallel; Smoother Career Progression
The usage of Python is vast, and can also lead the programmer to other programming languages for his career progression.
