class=\"bstn-blocks-indented-content-container__content col col-sm-8 col-sm-offset-1\">\n<p>Python can be considered beginner-friendly, as it is a programming language that prioritizes readability, making it easier to understand and use. Its syntax has similarities with the English language, making it easy for novice programmers to leap into the world of development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Python is also a flexible, dynamically typed language, which means the rules aren\u2019t hard set, making it more intuitive. It\u2019s also a more forgiving language that is able to operate with some level of errors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In fact, ease of use was one of Python\u2019s founding principles when it was created in 1989 by Guido van Rossum (and released later in 1991). The initial purpose of Python was to make programming easy, as it focused on code readability. It\u2019s also flexible. It can run on diverse platforms such as Windows, Linux, and Mac OS, and is open-source software.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Because the readability and other structural elements of Python are designed to be easy to understand, it is a great language for beginners as Python basics are quite intuitive to grasp. However, Python is not limited to basic use. It supports some of the most complex websites and apps in the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Python has support for all of the features of an object-oriented programming language, as well as a procedural-oriented programming language. As a result, it\u2019s not a coincidence that Python is the preferred choice for Developers, Data Scientists, and Software Engineers.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-bstn-blocks-heading bstn-blocks-heading bstn-blocks-heading--h2 has-text-align-left bstn-blocks-heading--divider\" id=\"can-i-learn-python-on-my-own\"><h2 class=\"bstn-blocks-heading__heading-element\">Can I Learn Python on My Own?<\/h2><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-bstn-blocks-indented-content-container bstn-blocks-indented-content-container\"><div class=\"row\"><div class=\"bstn-blocks-indented-content-container__content col col-sm-8 col-sm-offset-1\">\n<p>Yes, with its relative simplicity, it is possible to start learning Python on your own. It\u2019s very easy to install the language and run it from anywhere on your machine. If you run into problems, there is a large and very dynamic user-base for Python, making it easy to find a community that\u2019s willing to answer questions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To accelerate the learning process, a large number of aspiring Python Developers are enrolling in Python courses, like BrainStation\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/brainstation.io\/course\/online\/python-programming\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Python Programming certificate course<\/a>, which lets you learn the basics of Python from experienced industry experts and gain hands-on experience writing lines of code.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In fact, coding and data science courses have become an increasingly popular option for individuals looking to <meta charset=\"utf-8\"><\/meta><a href=\"https:\/\/brainstation.io\/learn\/python\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">learn Python<\/a>, and not only for neophyte Python Developers \u2013 as in other tech fields, Python experts need to keep learning to stay on top of changes to programming languages, techniques, and trends in data science.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another great thing about Python is the wealth of documentation available at Python.org. There are also a plethora of websites that allow you to practice Python and stay up-to-date, like practicepython.org or codingbag.com. Contributing to an open-source commons, such as GitHub or Bootstrap, can also help you stay informed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you want to know whether a specific application or a library with specific functionality is available in Python there are lots of sources of information. The Python website provides a Python Package Index (also known as the Cheese Shop). There is also a search page for a number of sources of Python-related information.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-bstn-blocks-heading bstn-blocks-heading bstn-blocks-heading--h2 has-text-align-left bstn-blocks-heading--divider\" id=\"how-long-does-it-take-learn-python-for-beginner\"><h2 class=\"bstn-blocks-heading__heading-element\">How Long Does it Take to Learn Python for a Beginner?<\/h2><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-bstn-blocks-indented-content-container bstn-blocks-indented-content-container\"><div class=\"row\"><div class=\"bstn-blocks-indented-content-container__content col col-sm-8 col-sm-offset-1\">\n<p>A beginner will take about 6-8 weeks to learn the fundamentals of Python.
