What Is Python Good For?

If we speak about programming languages, there is no language that is the best of all and can be a silver bullet for all possible applications. How to choose a programming language that is suitable for your needs?

The book "What Is Python Good For?" describes different programming areas where Python can be a good choice.

Nowadays, many software developers learn Python as their first language and they will find good ideas for rather simple applications. For example, how to create a website with Python and Django or work with various files using Python libraries. So this book should be useful for beginners who wonder how to apply their initial Python knowledge.

But there are much more complex fields where Python is really good. They include deep learning, machine learning, computer vision, etc. These chapters of the book can be interesting for more experienced Python developers or for developers programming in other languages but looking for new possibilities. Only a few programming languages provide powerful tools for work in these areas and Python is definitely one of them!

The book consists of nine chapters, each of which describes one programming area. Each chapter is provided with a lot of code samples which should simplify the reader's experience in the new area.
