Data Types

2011-10-29T02:02:00.000-07:00

HI. So, I'm back after a very long time. Sorry for that. I was in a dilemma, of whether I should continue to write this blog, considering there are already so many resources available. But I thought, most of the other resources just tell you what python does, but don't teach you important software engineering principles. So, I am back with this blog.
At the end of this tutorial you'll have basic understanding of Python datatypes.

Installing Python

2011-06-28T00:20:00.000-07:00

Hey guys. I am back after some time (actually 1 month).
So. Let's actually do something instead of just talking stuff.
You can start off by Installing Python.

Now, there's a catch. Python has two development versions.
Python 2.x
Python 3.x

You can install any of the two versions, it won't really matter. Although you should know that, the versions are a little different.
I use Python 2.x on my PC, but it shouldn't bias your decision. Some libraries don't work with Python 3.x, but on the other side, it is the future of the python language. (#)

That being said, first you need to Identify your Operating system.
It will be either of the following:
Windows
Mac
Linux (Ubuntu or any other popular distro)

I could've shown you the installation process on my PC, but then again, I don't have a Mac (It costs 1500$ ffs). Neither do I own a Ubuntu (They suck)
Since there are already quite some resources online, describing the installation instructions in detail, I won't be wasting time on it.

Programming ? huh ?

2011-05-26T22:08:00.000-07:00

Let's have a small discussion.

What are computers ?

In simple words. Computers are just things that compute.
Probably, all of you must have come across a computer atleast once.
Everything around you is a Computer. An ATM machine, a Car, a TV. All these are some sort of computers or contain computers.
Let's not get off track here....

Why Python ?

2011-05-25T22:25:00.000-07:00

There has been a lot of debate on "Which is the Ultimate Programming Language?", and you'll find many Language Comparisons on the Internet, but I think you should ignore them, as they're usually biased.

Why do I use Python? Here's why:

Introduction

2011-05-21T05:45:00.000-07:00

Hi
I am the author of this site. I am a simple person, and I love teaching things to people.
With this blog, I will cover my journey as I learn Python from scratch, and hopefully people will benefit from this blog.
Actually it's a bit of a White Lie as I already know quite some Python and I've also programmed with C,C++ and Java. (Intermediate stuff)
