Python
Introduction
Love it or hate it, Python can be very powerful for a wide variety of tasks. From simple scripting to full-blown complex programming, Python's got you covered.
While I started off with Python as a first language, I wouldn't recommend it as a first for anyone else. There are key concepts that Python gets to...masquerade from you. However, we're not here to trash-talk Python's shortcomings; that's left as an exercise for the reader at their own discretion and preference. We are here to cover some ground to make Python even more friendlier to the absolute beginner
