Python: Is it right for my business?

There is a plethora of choice when it comes to different programming languages. Python is just one of many widely used, but boasts the likes of Google, Youtube, Instagram and Spotify as some of the household names adopting it. 

So, why should a business choose Python over the likes of Java for its programming language and what role does Python play? These decisions are more complex than a simple, ‘pros and cons’ list in software development. Each has different use cases, and businesses should look at what matters most when selecting the right programming language. 

A welcoming user-experience 

From the outset, Python can make life easier for your team during the software development process. First of all, writing Python code is simple and is manageable by design, making it one of the fastest languages in terms of speed of development.

A user-friendly environment in the hands of your development team means less time struggling with the building tool and more time spent actually building. As a result, less time is required to deliver your businesses platform or webpage whilst increasing the return on investment from Python.

As well as writing, Python’s syntax is clear and concise. The language is designed to be readable and close to the English language, making it easy to interpret. Python also requires fewer lines of code to achieve results compared to languages such as C or Java. The simplicity of Python helps greatly when reading the code you’ve written or code from another developer. Code reviews are a lot faster when there are fewer lines of code to review, and the code reads like English. With code that’s simpler to interpret and navigate, businesses can reduce the amount of work needed to maintain and expand its code base.

The security and scalability offerings

Shifting away from the user experience, Python can also offer a robust service during the development process. For start-ups, for example, the business is often solely web-based. With this in mind, the emergence of a bug could prove costly. Although Python provides a friendly user-experience, security does not take a back seat. Thankfully, Python is well-equipped to deal with the security challenges posed by cyber threats.

The secure credentials will be music to the ears of organisations, but Python’s high scalability also offers huge potential for business growth. It is not uncommon amongst programming languages that when scalability increases, so do the challenges relating to maintenance, but this is less of a daunting task with Python. The simplicity of the language means any maintenance performed becomes much more manageable due to fewer lines of code to negotiate and also prepares your organisation for any increase in growth it may experience. This makes the scalability aspect of Python so desirable and why some of the largest companies adopt it within their software development process. 

A useful toolkit 

As mentioned, the software development process can be a complex one. Python offers a smart solution for those pushed for time as well as software development beginners. The language’s popularity has resulted in a range of Python packages being produced for data visualization, machine learning, natural language processing, complex data analysis, to name a few. Python has a selection of built-in libraries for the mentioned processes, meaning the user does not have to build these frameworks and libraries from scratch. Once again, this drastically reduces the time spent and simplifies the entire process, allowing businesses to focus time and money on other issues.  

Better understanding will result in better decision-making

Understanding the business benefits and the role in which Python contributes within software development is so important. Different languages benefit different businesses, but Python plays a huge role when it comes to durability, scalability and a friendly user-experience for your organisation during the software development process.

Making open source JavaScript pay

Image
Money isn’t everything to the success of the most popular JavaScript frameworks. Or is it? Looking at the  2019 State of JavaScript report , something stands out: Money apparently can’t buy everything. Or, at least, not every major front-end and back-end programming framework is sponsored by a big company. Sure, we have Google to thank for  Angular , and Facebook gets credit for  React , but what about  Vue.js ? Or Gatsby? Or Next.js? While these (and other) open source projects do seem to suggest a future without Big Corps shoveling Big Money into open source, the reality is a bit more nuanced. For the developers looking to pay their way through open source, however, reality isn’t nuanced at all. For every Vue.js founder  Evan You making $16,000 per month with Patreon contributions , there are thousands of developers struggling to scrape together $16 for the important open source work they’re doing.

How artificial intelligence is making the education system more relevant?

Image
Digital learning solutions equipped with artificial intelligence are making revolutionary changes to the way education is imparted in students with varied interests and capabilities. When we think of artificial intelligence, there is a hardwired imagery of gigantic thinking machines working in sci-fi environment. This imagery often comes from the science fiction that we have been watching or reading since childhood. However, deep diving suggests that artificial intelligence is an advanced form of algorithm that empowers machines to emulate human behavior under real life situations. Today, there is no industry untouched by the ripples caused by artificial intelligence. Education sets the foundation of human behavior. Educational ecosystem is formed by knowledge base, teaching skills and experience, learning capability, and evolving teaching methods. Digital learning solutions equipped with artificial intelligence are making revolutionary changes to the way education is im

Open-source software tracks neural activity in real time

Image
The tool, called CaImAn, replaces the process of manually tracking the location and activity of neurons Tracking the firings of individual neurons is like trying to discern who is saying what in a football stadium full of screaming fans. Until recently, neuroscientists have had to tediously track each neuron by hand. "People spent more time analyzing their data to extract activity traces than actually collecting it," says Dmitri Chklovskii, who leads the neuroscience group at the Center for Computational Biology (CCB) at the Flatiron Institute in New York City. A breakthrough software tool called CaImAn automates this arduous process using a combination of standard computational methods and machine-learning techniques. In a paper published in the journal  eLife  in January, the software's creators demonstrate that CaImAn achieves near-human accuracy in detecting the locations of active neurons based on calcium imaging data. CaImAn (an abbreviation of c
