Job Ready Python

Introduction

With the proliferation of data in the past decade, Python emerged as a viable language for data processing and analysis. Its simple syntax and powerful toolbox and libraries make Python the standard language for data.

There are many reasons why learning Python is great choice:

• As a general‐purpose language, Python runs on all platforms and operating systems, which makes Python programs and applications very portable.
• Python is widely used around the globe and benefits from a huge online community that is highly active. Python is number 3 at the time of this writing in the Tiobe index.
• Python is the standard language for data analysis, data engineering, and data science. If you want to become a data developer, learning Python is a must as it provides many built‐in and external libraries that allow you to develop machine learning models or ETL processes, or analyze some data.
