If you follow my non SQL Server blog, you might have noticed that I have been posting about Python lately. There are a couple of reasons for this
- Python will be included alongside R in SQL Server 2017, I might need to support this in the future
- Python is used more and more by the data science community
- My youngest son is learning Python, in order to help him, I need to know it too
I already posted several blog posts, here are some of these posts
Summer of code 2017: Python
I am not going to list all the posts here, you can find them by clicking on the Python label, or by going to this link http://denisgobo.blogspot.com/search/label/Python
I must admit that after messing around with Python for a month or so that I actually like the language. I don't know why but it reminds me of classic VB in the same sense that ColdFusion reminded me of classic VB back in 2000/2001. Maybe it is the luck of curly braces {} :-)
Visual Studio is now also a top notch Python development tool, so if you are familiar with Visual Studio you can keep using the same tools.
Here is also a presentation about Python in SQL Server if you want to know a little more about the way it is integrated.
Are you going to learn Python or are you going to stay away as far as possible from it?
