To date, the popularity of Python is growing steadily.
According to the research group of the well-known IEEE Spectrum magazine, Python is the main programming language for the development of modern AI, at the top of the list of the most influential languages in modern technology, as well as one of the most requested by employers.
THE MOST USED PROGRAMMING LANGUAGES
Whitin the aforementioned study conducted by the IEEE Spectrum, it is presented a ranking through which it is possible to ascertain the growth (or loss) in popularity of the main current programming languages. The alongside infographic shows the top ten of the most popular programming languages of 2017, among which Python has gained two positions compared to last year, going from third to first place, and leaving behind C and Java, who vie for the other two steps of the podium.
Java's upcoming decline, by the way, has been announced by more than one institution. For some time, in
fact, Stanford University has been proceeding to replace it within its degree programs. The language, according to them, would be becoming obsolete, and students are being encouraged to take JavaScript courses rather than the CS 106 standard. However, Stanford's stance seems to be still a bit too risky for the current situation: according to IEEE, in fact, Java is still the most requested language in job advertisements,. However, the rise of Python among the most popular and requested languages remains an interesting fact.
WHAT IS PYTHON
But what exactly is Python, and why has its spread been so rapid and remarkable? Python is a multi-paradigm language that has dynamism, simplicity and flexibility among its main objectives, and is related to a significant increase in productivity and the development of superior quality and maintainability code. The logical immediacy of its structures, which make it one of the fastest learning languages, has meant that it was defined as a language clear not only for machines but also for humans.
THE INTENSIVE COURSES IN PYTHON OF GEEKS ACADEMY
Geeks Academy held intensive courses for aspiring artificial intelligence experts, which aims to make the technologies at the base of thinking machines within everyone's reach. Starting from Python, the key subject of this basic module, students will be introduced to the world of Data Science and modern Artificial Intelligence, which is now part of our daily reality even in small things.
In fact, it is for this reason that Data Science with Python and AI with Python were born, the intensive and complete Geeks Academy courses, designed to accompany students in learning from the basics of language and its potential, passing through Data Science, and arriving at data analysis with Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence techniques.
ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE WITHIN EVERYONE'S REACH
To meet everyone's needs, from the amateur to the expert, the courses have been divided into 2 modules each, so that students can choose those of their interest and within their reach.
In fact, the first module of the Data Science with Python course is accessible even to those who have no experience of this language, as it introduces Python and the concepts underlying this programming language, presenting its syntax, data types, functions and the classes. Students also will learn to increase Python potential by importing libraries so as to obtain a complete knowledge of the foundations of language.
The second module is designed for those who already know Python and want to exploit its potential to enter the data age, where data is considered the new gold for companies. The module introduces data processing, passing through the basics of statistics and arriving at the presentation of data in textual or graphical form, ready, then, to be sent automatically from a back-end to a front-end or to be printed and presented to the chief entrepreneur asking for a review.
The AI with Python course, on the other hand, is designed for those who already know Python and want to use it to process data. This course introduces to operational knowledge of Machine Learning (ML) and Artificial Intelligence (AI). You don't need to panic now! In fact, for attending this course, there is no need to have advanced knowledge of mathematics or “computer witchcraft”: the course is designed to provide operational knowledge through the use of ready-made ML and AI libraries. In this way, just as it is easy to learn to use a smartphone even without knowing how to build one, this module will teach you to use ML and AI tools to analyze data and find hidden meanings or predict future events based on those that have already happened.
With Geeks Academy Artificial Intelligence becomes available to everyone! Contact us for information on the course, prices and discounts!
