Now before I start writing anything, let me assure you of one thing: I am not a programmer.
And second: Python is not a snake here, it is a programming language.
Well now I can breathe easy.
My sojourn with Python started three years back when I purchased Phoenix Interface which was designed and developed by the scientists of IUAC (formerly NSC), New Delhi.
Since the interface can talk to my laptop through Python language, I had no choice but to try and learn it. Well it seems today that it was not that bad a choice. I knew some BASIC, PASCAL, C and C++, but just a li'l bit of these. Now I know some Python. And why I said that I am not a programmer? Because I can't seem to remember the codes and syntax. I keep forgetting the syntax. Hence I need to keep checking the codes again and again when I sit down to write a piece of code. Hence, I don't call myself a programmer.
Now the more important things. What am I doing with Python? Well Python came across as an extremely versatile language with the added advantage that it is interpreter based and hence, I can see real time what is happening with my codes as I type them in the command prompt. It is like at first I try to see what is happening with the line that I am typing and once it gives me desired results I put the lines down together to form a Python code.
But the question remains, what is a Physics school teacher doing with Python?
Well I am, apart from being a Physics teacher, an innovator too. I like to make life easy for people in general. So that is what I am doing. Innovating.
This post is all about what I have done till now and what am I up to. I hate to patent stuff as I feel " All good things in the world are FREE". So why to put a lid on the usage of things by common man.
