Learning Python Programming Language

January 19, 2012

Okay, so I prepared this page to be consistent with my homepages. But face it, this is the Python article you probably want.

Python Programming Language AdvantagesIf you want code that runs fast, use C… NOT C++, but ANSI/ISO C—and make programming your career. If you want programs to write programs, then use some dialect of LISP. If you want to only ever have to learn one language, use JavaScript. But if you want to be productive quickly and have a good time doing it, consider Python. Here’s why.

Here are some articles about Python:

Having recently switched my primary programming language after a long investigation, and then having my first baby, has clearly put me into the mood to think about the role and power of language. I recently heard a podcast that discussed a study of rats and children remembering the location ...
  • Python Programming Language Advantages NOTE: Download Levinux (~15MB) and run Python, vim and git on Linux Server with from your Mac, Windows or Linux desktop with a double-click (no install) in just a few minutes! Fall in love too. This article is not about Python vs. other languages, so much as it is about those peculiarities of Python that made ...
  • The Python Nuances That Keep Code Clean I am a casual programmer, having spent my entire professional career in jobs that don’t have programming in the job description. Truly, I started on BASIC on the TRS-80 in 1982, but the computer science flame was never sparked. Therefore, I went through life and career gravitating instead towards design and business, only programming to ...
  • LAMP is Dead. Long Live Linux / Python! Hey, pssst! Wanna see my new "short stack" dev platform? Download Levinux, and you can have a little Linux server running on your Mac, Windows or Linux desktop in a matter of minutes. In a few more minutes, you can have the full Python, vim & git dev stack installed and ready to play with, ...
  • The Pythonic Way of Thinking This is to get a second article going about Python, intended to eliminate the need to look up Python examples. I am essentially training myself to “think in Python”, and hope to grow this into a larger article like my first one about the advantages of Python, but for now, I will just start it ...
