Why should someone learn Python and not Ruby, C++, Java, Perl, Javascript, C#, PHP, or ASP.NET?

Python is used in machine learning & artificial intelligence. This is the cutting edge of tech. When it comes to Google recommendations, Netflix personalizations, Uber time estimates, Siri, or even Spotify; they are all using types of machine learning and artificial intelligence. It’s all around us. Experts argue that Python is the most compatible programming language for machine learning and artificial intelligence.

Python is user friendly. Python’s syntax closely resembles the English language as opposed too many other coding ‘languages.’ Python is widely known as the easiest for kids to learn. If it’s easy for them, it should be relatively easy for you.

Python is one of the many ways to be able to manipulate Data and its capabilities can handle vast sets of data and tackle big business dilemmas. Big businesses need Data Scientists. Help them out and learn Python.
