Beginning with Python

When I started learning Python, it was intimidating at first glance. I started off with what every tutorial starts with, "Hello World". One of the first things you learn is the print function. Print is what is used to make anything appear on the display. If I tell it to print my name, then my name would appear.

I also learned about different software to use to run Python code. You don't have to use any, it can be ran directly in your system's terminal shell, but I like using the program VS Code. It gives me a good visual of what's going on with my code. It changes to a different color depending on what I put into it.

Another thing you can do in Python is create different rules, one of the simpler ones is the "if" functions. If this happens, then do this, simple as that. You can set it to do certain actions if certain criteria is met, like different texts to be said depending on someone's age.

Just with these couple of commands alone, I can see that alot can be done with Python. I hope as i continue learning more, I can start developing some simple projects for practice, and eventually be able to implement it into future plans I may come up with.
