I am Satyam Kulkarni, a Python Developer who started journey 2 years ago and continuing my journey..
Everyone states that,
Python is a easy language. One with no prior Knowledge can learn it.
It has got a pretty easy syntax and a vast number of libraries to support any work you want to do with Python.

Python has its applications in -
- Machine Learning & AI
- Data Science
- Backend Development
- Desktop GUI App Development
and many more..
First Things First
Before Starting with Python,
We need to install Python on our system and set up a text editor to write Python.
Install Python Interpreter
Go to Python’s official website and Download Python 3.x Interpreter Suitable with your system.
Setting Up Text Editor
I Personally use Sublime Text Editor for Small Projects and for Large Projects it is better to go with an IDE like Pycharm.
But for Beginner, a text editor is good.
Sublime Text

Getting Started with Python

Python code offers readability and is syntactically more like a language.
A Simple Hello World Program in Python can be written as
print(“Hello, World”)
print is Statement in Python Which prints Strings, Integers and many more on your Console.
It’s that simple.
Variables
Variables are simply blocks of small memory which can store a data-type.
Variables can be of Integer Type like below example, it can be of String(Text), Float(Decimal Point Number).
Important Point — Variables in Python do not need to Define DataType
for eg.
a = 10
It is a basic syntax in which a memory block denoted by variable is assigned value of 10.
We can access the memory block using the name of variable
for eg.
To print the value of we can do
print(a)
You can see here we have not used “” Double Quotation Mark to print a variable whereas in first example where we printed Hello World, we used Quotation Marks.
Simple Exercise
Add two variables using Python
In this Exercise, we have to add 2 Numbers using Python
First of all, Decide How many variables you want?
In this Case we need 3 Variables,
1 for First Number, 1 for Second Number, 3 for Addition of Numbers
First try to Solve on your own
Code:
a = 10
b = 20
c = a + b
print("Addition of a and b is ", c)
Tadaa!! You wrote your First Python Program.
