Okay, I might be setting the expectations a little bit too high there. However, you’ve made a great decision choosing Python. You could arguably not pick a more versatile and developer friendly programming language. Python has a relatively easy syntax that looks a lot like plain English.

Ignore her for now. On top of that, you can do a lot of things with it, just to name a few:

Next to that, there is so much made that you can use with Python. We sometimes say it has a “rich ecosystem”. This means that many ready made bits and pieces of code are available for you and that will help accelerate development of whatever it is you’re creating.
