Python
Python is a general-purpose coding language—which means that, unlike HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, it can be used for other types of programming and software development besides web development. Python is interpreted, easy to learn surrounded by a huge ecosystem, actively supported and used in many industries and domains. Can be used for things like (starting from the simple ones):
Basic programming: using strings, adding numbers, opening files
Writing system scripts (creating instructions that tell a computer system to “do” something)
Back-end (or server-side) web and mobile app development
Desktop apps and software development
Processing big data and performing mathematical computations
Python can be downloaded from the official website. Choose the installer for your operating system, download it, and follow the installation steps.
VSCode
We need this software to visualize and edit the sources, execute our projects and investigate the issues that might occur during the programming process.
