Why Python?
Python is an excellent language to build the foundation in programming because it helps you to learn to think like a programmer without having to worry a lot about the nitty-gritty of the language.
It is used in fields predicted to rise in 2021, namely machine learning and artificial intelligence. Python is the preferred language for machine learning and data science due to its popular ML libraries such as Pandas and Scikit-learn
