FAQs
These two courses are ideal if you’re looking to expand your knowledge of Python and develop skills that help enhance your career in data science, programming, app development, and website development.
What is Python?
Python is a versatile, high-level programming language known for its readability, simplicity, and broad applications in data science, web development, and AI. Created by Guido van Rossum and first released in 1991, Python emphasises clean, efficient coding with a syntax that’s accessible to both beginners and experts. Unlike languages such as C++ or Java, Python is dynamically typed and supported by extensive libraries (Pandas, Django, TensorFlow), allowing rapid development and adaptability, making it a preferred choice in today’s tech landscape.
What is the relationship between Python and Data Science?
Python is central to data science due to its simplicity, versatility, and extensive libraries tailored for data tasks. Its readable syntax and integration across data science workflows, from data cleaning to machine learning, set it apart from traditional languages like R. With libraries such as Pandas, NumPy, Matplotlib, and Scikit-Learn, Python enables efficient data manipulation, analysis, and visualisation in one environment, making it the preferred language for data science, machine learning, and AI applications across industries.
