Python

What is python used for in 2019, how skilled do i need to be, and how in demand is it all?

i'm looking into being a freelancer, but i'm having trouble finding out this information through google, all the finer points seem to be eluding me.

If this index has any meaning Python has moved up from August of last year to rank #3 in August of this year for popularity. Python job boards should answer your questions on what it is used for and how in demand it is currently.

i'm looking at the job board on python.org....what do these tags mean? does treehouse teach these skills? "Back end, Big Data, Cloud, Database, Integration, Testing, Web, GCP, API"

Wikipedia has a lot of information - tons to read

wiki for Python - see uses

wiki for Big Data

wiki for Cloud computing

wiki for GCP

wiki for API

Re-frame your logic; look at job boards for Python programmers; read the job description proper and cull the company's "stack". Treehouse has the learning you need to grab one of those jobs. good luck btw - (Python is in mad demand because the way it handles data science work. )

what does culling the company's stack mean? are you asking me to hack their computers?
