Dear friends,
CBSE has been revised its curriculum for Computer Science (083) and Informatics Practice (065) subjects and introduced Python programming language in place of C++ and Java from the academic session 2018-19. However the old syllabus will also continue upto 2019-20 Board Examination. From the session 2020-21, CBSE will conduct AISSCE Examination based on new syllabus only.
The Python Programming will be covered in both subjects i.e. CS and IP.
Here, a brief introduction and how to start working is given..
What is Python?
Python is being popular day by day because of the increased productivity it provides. Since there is no compilation step, the edit-test-debug cycle is incredibly fast. Debugging Python programs is also very easy.
Python requires less hardware resources like memory and processor speed. Python program can run on any type of hardware and software (OS) platform, even we can make and run python program in on-line mode on various programming learning websites.
So, we hope learning Python will be great deal at school level, to cater the need of software industry.
Installing
Installing Python is generally easy, and nowadays many Linux and UNIX distributions include a recent Python. Even some Windows computers (notably those from HP) now come with Python already installed. If you do need to install Python and aren't confident about the task you can find a few notes on the BeginnersGuide/Download wiki page, but installation is unremarkable on most platforms.Learning
Before getting started, you may want to find out which IDEs and text editors are tailored to make Python editing easy, browse the list of introductory books, or look at code samples that you might find helpful.There is a list of tutorials suitable for experienced programmers on the BeginnersGuide/Tutorials page. There is also a list of resources in other languages which might be useful if English is not your first language.
The online documentation is your first port of call for definitive information. There is a fairly brief tutorial that gives you basic information about the language and gets you started. You can follow this by looking at the library reference for a full description of Python's many libraries and the language reference for a complete (though somewhat dry) explanation of Python's syntax. If you are looking for common Python recipes and patterns, you can browse the ActiveState Python Cookbook
