What is on this blog?

Have you ever tried writing import this in Python interpreter? Most of us might have not, as we learn the syntax and start writing code asap. This approach is good but if someone asks in an interview which programming paradigm does Python follows, we start rubbing our head thinking what the hell he has asked or if we know we can’t explain it clearly. So, this blog mostly focuses on the basic concepts of Python which most of us either don’t know or have a blurred idea. This will prove an addon for your coding skills.

Who should read this blog?

This blog is not for the people who want to learn the syntax and start writing their first Python code asap. Rather this is for the people who know how to write code but want to sharpen their concepts for either interview or want more command on the language.
