What is programming and Python?

Programming is a way to instruct the computer to perform various tasks.

Just like we humans can understand a few languages (English, Spanish, Mandarin, Arabic, etc.), so is the case with computers. Computers understand instructions that are written in a specific syntactical form called a programming language.

Python is one of the programming languages that humans use to communicate with computers.

There are many benefits of learning Python, especially as your first language. It is a language that is remarkably easy to learn, and it can be used as a stepping stone into other programming languages and frameworks. If you're an absolute beginner and this is your first time working with any type of coding language, that's something you definitely want.
