Python is a very practical language for the &quot;non-professional programmer&quot; who wants to do some simple automation, turn their subject matter expertise into code, etc.<p>Python is also a language that professional programmers can stand to use (and even like), so it is possible you can collaborate on a cross-functional team, scale up without having to do a total rewrite, etc.

I&#x27;d feel comfortable recommending Python to a beginner who was committed to learning. I found the book Automate the Boring Stuff With Python very good from that perspective. It takes advantage of Python&#x27;s &quot;batteries included&quot; nature to teach you the basics and solve some real workaday problems.<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;automatetheboringstuff.com&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;automatetheboringstuff.com&#x2F;</a>

Check out Real Python (<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;realpython.com" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;realpython.com</a>), if you&#x27;re looking to learn the syntax and then move into web development.
