Abstract

Now that you have a basic understanding of how to use Visual Studio 2015, you can learn more about some of the languages you may encounter when developing your IoT solutions. One of those languages is Python—a very robust and powerful language that you can use to write very powerful applications. Mastering is very easy and some may suggest it doesn’t require any formal training to use. This is largely true and thus you should be able to write applications for Windows 10 IoT Core with only a little bit of knowledge about Python. This chapter presents a crash course on the basics of Python programming in Visual Studio, including an explanation about some of the most commonly used language features.

Notes

  1. 1.

    Monty Python refers to a group of comedians and not a single individual. However, their comedy is undeniably brilliant. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monty_Python

  2. 2.

    Pythonistas are expert Python developers and advocates for all things Python.

  3. 3.

    Currently. Hopefully, more project types will be available in the future.

  4. 4.

    In my experience and travels through geekdom, few programmers prefer tabs over spaces. Indeed, many coding guidelines prohibit the use of tabs because they can interfere with certain offline code analysis tools. Plus, they can scramble the format of the code if your editor is set differently than others or if tabs are used inconsistently.

  5. 5.

    Sometimes called “hash” but I personally think that term is over used, especially by those that want to sound intelligent when speaking about social media.

  6. 6.
