Why You Should Learn Python

Hey dude! Thanks for making this vid. Python rocks and is only getting better and faster.

As an aerospace engineer, I still use Python on super important stuff.

Python’s main advantage in today’s engineering environment is the ability to focus on the data, and the ease of getting something up that rivals MatLab scientific data analysis, for free, and in an hour.

Another serious advantage is cython. When you make a huge data crunching program, to eek out some more speed, just call the critical functions in C.

Lastly the ability to throw together GUIs with pyside and matplotlib and notebooks to plot your results is key.

Watch sentdex’s videos on yt. Check out PyCharm IDE. Check out Conda to create portable environments with all the right versions of pythons and packages you need separate from one another.
