Python

 What is Python?

      Python is a popular programming language. It was created by Guido van Rossum, and released in 1991.

        It is used for:

    Python can be easy to pick up whether you're a first-time programmer or you're experienced with other languages. 

 Open-source

    Python is developed under an OSI-approved open-source license, making it freely usable and distributable, even for commercial use. Python's license is administered by the Python Software Foundation.

What can Python do?

  • Python can be used on a server to create web applications.
  • Python can be used alongside software to create workflows.
  • Python can connect to database systems. It can also read and modify files.
  • Python can be used to handle big data and perform complex mathematics.
  • Python can be used for rapid prototyping, or for production-ready software development.

Why Python?

  • Python works on different platforms (Windows, Mac, Linux, Raspberry Pi, etc).
  • Python has a simple syntax similar to the English language.
  • Python has a syntax that allows developers to write programs with fewer lines than some other programming languages.
  • Python runs on an interpreter system, meaning that code can be executed as soon as it is written. This means that prototyping can be very quick.
  • Python can be treated in a procedural way, an object-oriented way, or a functional way.

print("Hello, World!")                                       

Applications of Python

As mentioned before, Python is one of the most widely used languages on the web. I'm going to list a few of them here:

· Easy-to-learn − Python has few keywords, a simple structure, and a clearly defined syntax. This allows the student to pick up the language quickly.

· Easy-to-read − Python code is more clearly defined and visible to the eyes.

·  Easy-to-maintain − Python's source code is fairly easy-to-maintain.

·A broad standard library − Python's bulk of the library is very portable and cross-platform compatible on UNIX, Windows, and Macintosh.

·Interactive Mode − Python has support for an interactive mode that allows interactive testing and debugging of snippets of code.

· Portable − Python can run on a wide variety of hardware platforms and has the same interface on all platforms.

· Extendable − You can add low-level modules to the Python interpreter. These modules enable programmers to add to or customize their tools to be more efficient.

·Databases − Python provides interfaces to all major commercial databases.

· GUI Programming − Python supports GUI applications that can be created and ported to many system calls, libraries, and windows systems, such as Windows MFC, Macintosh, and the X Window system of Unix.

·Scalable − Python provides a better structure and support for large programs than shell scripting.

WHAT IS ETHEREUM?

  Ethereum is open access to digital money and data-friendly services for everyone — no matter your background or location. It’s a community-built technology behind the   cryptocurrency   ether (ETH) and thousands of applications you can use today. Banking for everyone : Not everyone has access to financial services. But all you need to access Ethereum and its lending, borrowing, and savings products is an internet connection. A more private internet:  You don’t need to provide all your personal details to use an Ethereum app. Ethereum is building an economy based on value, not surveillance. A peer-t o -peer network:  Ethereum allows you to move money, or make agreements, directly with someone else. You don’t need to go through intermediary companies. Censorship-resistant:  No government or company has control over Ethereum. This decentralization makes it nearly impossible for anyone to stop you from receiving payments or using services on Ethereum. Commerc...

What Makes a Blockchain Suitable for Business?

  Instead of having a   blockchain   that relies on the exchange of   cryptocurrencies   with anonymous users on a public network (as is the case with   bitcoin ), a   blockchain   for business is a private, permissioned network with known identities and without the need for   cryptocurrencies . To further understand how a  blockchain  for business works, and to appreciate its potential for revolutionizing business networks, you need to understand the four key concepts of  blockchain  for business These four concepts are explained in this section. Shared ledger they’ve been used i n  double-entry bookkeeping since the 13th century. What is new is the concept of a shared, distributed ledger — an immutable record of all transactions on the network, a record that all network participants can access. With a shared ledger, transactions are recorded only once, eliminating the duplication of effort that’s typical of traditio...
