From C# to Python

“

- [Joe] As a C# developer, you might be wondering what's with all the excitement about Python? C# is, of course, a very popular and capable language. And it's been around for quite some time now. But Pythons rise as a favorite language among programmers has happened along with the industry's shift to embrace open source and cloud based computing. Along with evermore powerful computers that can execute interpreted languages like Python faster than ever before. Hi, I'm Joe Marini. And I've been building software professionally for some of the biggest companies in Silicon Valley for more than 30 years. I've used a lot of programming languages throughout my career, including both C# and Python. And each one of them has their strengths along with their quirks. In this course, we'll learn about some of the basics of the Python language and how it compares to C#. Then we'll see how various features of C# are implemented in Python, such as the different ways you can define and use functions, implement various aspects of object oriented programming such as defining classes, implementing interfaces, and abstract classes. And make use of the Python collection types like lists and dictionaries and see how they compare to their C# versions. We'll also examine some features that are uniquely Python, such as magic object methods and the built-in language functions that make common data handling operations easy. Python is a great language to add to your skillset alongside C#. So, let's get started.
