Python
Python is one of the most favourite programming languages in Data Science (well… the other one is R). His :
- cost (zero euro – open source)
- a wide and active community
- there are specific libraries and functions for any task
- Above all: a programmer can execute single lines, single instructions or variables or functions, check any variable values etc., the way some other interpreted programming languages do (e.g. Matlab)
I used Python:
- In my job as a Data Scientist
- Personal projects
- For my MSc dissertation. I used Neural Networks and the Google TensorFlow APIs for an algorithmic trading program.
