Python Certification Training in San Antonio USA

The Benefits of Learning Python:

• Learning and working with Python has a handful of benefits.
• For starters, it is extremely easy to learn, and can be used as a stepping stone into other programming languages and frameworks like PERL, C, C++, and more. If you’re an absolute beginner and this is your first time working with any type of coding language, that’s something you definitely want.
• Once you complete your training you’ll have many opportunities to grow if need be, instead of being confined to a single language.
• Next, Python is popular so it’s widely used. So popular, that it’s used by a number of tech giants like Google, Instagram, Pinterest, Yahoo!, Disney, IBM, Nokia, and more. Once you learn Python, you’ll never have a shortage of ways to utilize the skill. Not to mention, because a lot of big companies rely on the language, you can make good money as a Python developer.

Additional benefits are:

• Python can be used in the development of prototypes, and it can help speed up the concept to creation process because it is so easy to use and read.
• Python is ideal for general purpose tasks such as data mining, and big data facilitation.
• Developers of all skill levels tend to stay more organized and productive when working with Python when compared to languages like C# and Java.
• Python is easy to read, even if you’re not a skilled programmer so it is ideal for use among multi-programmer and large development teams, especially those with coding inexperienced team members.
• Django is a complete and open source web application framework and it is powered by Python. Frameworks – like Ruby on Rails – simplify the development process, by allowing developers to work with snippets of existing code called modules. These code packets can be modified and repurposed as necessary across multiple projects.
• Since Python is an open source language and is community developed, it has a massive support base. Millions of like-minded developers work with the language on a regular basis. In addition, the community continuously works together to improve upon core functionality. This is also a great way to network with other developers.
• Python continues to receive official enhancements and updates as time progresses. This is a great way to implement new functionality and meet evolving development standards.

What Jobs Call for Knowledge of Python?

Once you’re experienced in the Python language, some of the jobs or careers where you can expect to find work are:

• Software Engineer
• Django Back-End Developer
• Data Engineer
• Django or Python Developer
• Application Reliability Engineer
• Full-Stack Developer
• Keep in mind these are merely a handful of examples. There are many more opportunities and some of them will require knowledge of other languages, applications, and development tools.

Here are my 5 reasons to learn Python:

1. Libraries and Frameworks:

• One of the similarities between Python and Java is the sheer number of open source libraries, frameworks, and modules available to do whatever you want to do. It makes application development really easy.
• Just imagine creating a web application without Spring in Java or Django and Flask in Python. It makes your job simple as you only need to focus on business logic.
• Python has numerous libraries for different needs. Django and Flask are two of the most popular for web development and NumPy and SciPy are for Data Science.
• In fact, Python has one of the best collection of machine learning and data science libraries like TensorFlow, Scikit-Learn, Keras, Pandas and many more.
• If you want to learn more about Python machine learning libraries, I suggest you to join the Python for Data Science and Machine Learning Bootcamp course, one of my favorite.

2. Automation

• When I first come to know about Python was due to one of my scripting need. I was working with an application which receives messages over UDP and there was a problem, we were not seeing messages in the log.
• I wanted to check if we are receiving any UDP traffic on that box and that port or not but I couldn’t find a handy UNIX command to do that.
• One of my friend, who sits next to me was learning Python and he wrote a utility in just 5 minutes to intercept UDP message using one of the Python modules.
• Obviously, I was impressed with the time it took for him to write such a tool but that just highlights the power of Python when it comes to writing scripts, tool and automating stuff.
• If you seriously want to know how much Python help with automation, my favorite place is the Automate boring stuff with Python book, simply awesome book.

3. Multipurpose

• One of the things I like about Python is its Swiss Army knife nature. It’s not tied to just one thing e.g. R which is good on Data Science and Machine learning but nowhere when it comes to web development. Learning Python means you can do many things.
• You can create your web applications using Django and Flask, Can do Data Analysis using NumPy, Scipy, Scikit-Learn, and NLTK.
• At a bare minimum, you can use Python to write scripts to automate many of your days to day tasks.

4. Jobs and Growth

• Python is growing really fast and big time and it makes a lot of sense to learn a growing programming major programming language if you are just starting your programming career.
• It not only help you to get a job quickly but also it will also accelerate your career growth. IMHO, for beginners, after simplicity, this should be the most important reason to learn Python.

5. Salary

• Python developers are one of the highest paid developers, particularly in the Data Science, Machine learning and web development.
• On average also, they are very good paying, ranging from 70,000 USD to 150,000 USD depending upon their experience, location, and domain.
• If you are interested in learning more about high paying technology jobs, I suggest checking my earlier post about 10 highest paid technology jobs for Software Engineers.
