We are thrilled to announce that
@ewa_jodlowska
will be our first Executive Director, starting Jan 1! Congratulations on the new role and thank you for all that you have done for our communities!
Cheers to Python-30 years young & still going strong! Python's devs like to keep Python fun to use. The language's name is a tribute to the British comedy group Monty Python. Examples refer to spam & eggs (from a famous Monty Python sketch) instead of the standard foo & bar 😀 .
According to
#pythondevsurvey2017
, Django is the most popular framework for Python – 41% of developers use it. NumPy, Pandas, and Matplotlib are in close second together, with 39%.
Any Python newbies out there? Trying something new is tough but luckily you've found a supportive community to help you out along the way. Comment with your best beginner tips for our new friends just starting their Python journey🏔️😃🐍
