&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;New page&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div&gt;In this lesson, we will learn about the Python programming language and what it is.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We will also discuss the difference between compiled and interpreted languages.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== What is Python? ==&lt;br /&gt;
Python is an interpreted programming language.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It is commonly used for desktop app development, website hosting, and much more.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== What is a programming language? ==&lt;br /&gt;
Programming languages allow us to perform complex tasks by writing simple code.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Without programming languages, all programs would have to be written in machine code.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Programming languages allow us to easily tell the computer what to do.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Why use Python? ==&lt;br /&gt;
Python is often used because it is easy to learn.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Python has an incredibly simple &amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;syntax&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039; (the &amp;#039;grammar&amp;#039; of the language), which makes it ideal for beginners.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Python is also very powerful, as it can be used to perform many different tasks.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Interpreted or compiled? ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Interpreted languages ===&lt;br /&gt;
Python is an interpreted language.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This means that the code is run &amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;line by line&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The user receives the code, which is then run by an &amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;interpreter&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Interpreted languages usually run slower than compiled languages.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Compiled languages ===&lt;br /&gt;
Some languages however, such as C, C#, and Rust, are compiled languages.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This means that the code is turned into an executable (machine code) before being run.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Once the source code has been compiled, it can be executed even without the compiler being installed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Compiled languages usually run more quickly than interpreted languages.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Python course ==&lt;br /&gt;
This lesson is part of the Python course.&lt;br /&gt;
