Python is an interpreted high-level general-purpose programming language. Its design philosophy emphasizes code readability with its use of significant indentation. Its language constructs as well as its object-oriented approach aim to help programmers write clear, logical code for small and large-scale projects.

Python is dynamically-typed and garbage-collected. It supports multiple programming paradigms, including structured (particularly, procedural), object-oriented and functional programming. It is often described as a “batteries included” language due to its comprehensive standard library.

We will go through basic programming concepts and implement them using Python as an example of a high-level programming language. This course is explicitly for non-programmers and will use a slow-pace hands-on approach to make sure everybody benefits from it.

Application programming interfaces (APIs) inspire innovation and create new business opportunities. They slice through barriers to change by inviting more people to contribute to success and helping forward-thinking companies stand out from the competition.
To put it relatively simply, APIs are sets of requirements that govern how one software application can communicate and interact with another. But the truth is, APIs are far more than bits and bytes.
