Introduction to Python

Contents

Python programming language was created by Guido Van Rossumin in the 1980's. It is a general purpose, object-oriented, expandable and described programming language. Python has an artistic syntax that allows its users to read code easily as well as understand the code. It is used for creation of web applications. Further, it has an inbuilt development environment called IDLE and a large library that supports huge projects. In this lab, you will be taught how to program in this very exciting programming language called Python. The medium in which you will learn this program is through getting to actually practice on your own. Furthermore, in this lab, i will translate some of the programs you may have seen in “Program a day “ that are written in Java programming language. Hope you enjoy this lab. Ouuups!
