Keep Learning

If its not fun to learn, chances are high that your kid is not going to continue the interest in the
subject for long. Games are fun programming projects for kids to learn Python, something they can
easily relate to.
Motivation is a key component of successful learning. Without the proper incentives, students can
get bored and abandon a subject before they’ve become proficient. The key is to ease kids into
learning Python by working with small chunks of information at a time. If the information is
organized into a highly visual format, that’s even better.
# Here is an extremely simple Python code to add two numbers entered by user :
number1 = input("First number: ")
number2 = input("\nSecond number: ")
# Adding two numbers
# User might also enter float numbers
sum = float(number1) + float(number2)
# Display the sum
# will print value in float
print("The sum of {0} and {1} is {2}" .format(number1, number2, sum))

I promised you, not to get too technical. With Python, you open yourself to unlimited career
potential. Python is no longer just for computer programmers. Python is not just a programming
language anymore, it has become a necessary skill. Financial Analysts, Entrepreneurs, Marketing
professionals, Advocates, Journalist, Educators; all need it in various degrees in performing their
daily work more efficiently.
Python has a large community that continuously contributes to its development.
At the end of the day, Python is evolving all the time. There are only a few people who can
legitimately claim to completely understand the language, and they created it ! Python is a really
fun and rewarding language to learn, and I think anyone can get to a high level of proficiency in it if
they find the right motivation.
Back to the cliff story, the next day I had to write my first Python code. Only by pushing myself to
the limits in previous 3 days, I realized where my limits were. When I was there at the crossroads
with my limits, I realized how to learn Python in just 1 hour. That was my Shangri La moment.
Keep Learning !!Looking forward to see you soon.
