Python? - EXiLE - 01-27-2015

Hey all,
First day of school this year was yesterday and it turns out that our new teacher actually wants us to do something useful and learn Python (instead of making spreadsheets with Excel every day like the last teacher did). Is it worth learning? Should I make a very hard effort to do well on the course? I've heard it's a pretty global language and I'd like to learn all about it so I think it could be a possibility but I would like to hear your guys thoughts first.

Sound like you already made up your mind buddy Tongue

I use python for almost all of my scripting needs, so I would say I benefitted from learning it.

Definitely worth learning in my honest opinion. It's used extensively all over, across various platforms.

Great beginner language too. Literally the first programming language I used.

Dubbies has said not to begin with Python, as it "ruins all other languages".

Python is the basic programming language. Learn python, and it'll open your mind, and open doors to other languages.
