What is Python (Programming)?

Python is a general-purpose language. It has wide range of applications from Web development (like: Django and Bottle), scientific and mathematical computing (Orange, SymPy, NumPy) to desktop graphical user Interfaces (Pygame, Panda3D).

The syntax of the language is clean and length of the code is relatively short. It's fun to work in Python because it allows you to think about the problem rather than focusing on the syntax.

Python is a fairly old language created by Guido Van Rossum. The design began in the late 1980s and was first released in February 1991.

Python was conceived in the late 1980s, and its implementation began in December 1989 by Guido van Rossum.

It wasn't named after a dangerous snake. Rossum was fan of a comedy series from late seventies. The name 'Python' was adopted from the same series Monty Python's Flying Circus.

What is SQL ?

SQL (Structured Query Language) is a standardized programming language used for managing relational databases and performing various operations on the data in them. Initially created in the 1970s, SQL is regularly used by database administrators, as well as by developers writing data integration scripts and data analysts looking to set up and run analytical queries. The uses of SQL include modifying database table and index structures; adding, updating and deleting rows of data; and retrieving subsets of information from within a database for transaction processing and analytics applications.  Queries and other SQL operations take the form of commands written as statements -- commonly used SQL statements include select, add, insert, update, delete, create, alter and truncate. _________________________
