Introduction

Python is a general-purpose language created in the early 1990s. It has become popular in business and academic applications.

The Python language uses an interpreter, which is a program that both translates and exe- cutes the instructions in a high-level language program. Python’s syntax is clear and intuitive, which makes it an excellent choice for beginners. The language emphasizes readability, which helps with maintaining and updating code. Python is used in many areas such as web development, data analysis, artificial intelligence, scientific computing, and more. Its versatility comes from a large number of libraries and frameworks that extend its capabilities.

Fun Fact: Python isn’t named after the snake but after the British comedy group Monty Python. Guido van Rossum, the creator of Python, was reading the published scripts from “Monty Python’s Flying Circus” at the time he began implementing Python and wanted a name that was short, unique, and slightly mysterious.

Popular Software Applications and platforms have been developed using Python. Here are some examples:

Java

Java is a programming language and computing platform first released by Sun Microsystems in 1995. It has evolved from humble beginnings to power a large share of today’s digital world, by providing the reliable platform upon which many services and applications are built. New, innovative products and digital services designed for the future continue to rely on Java, as well.

There are many applications and even some websites that will not function unless you have Java installed. Java.com, this website, is intended for consumers who require Java for their desktop applications – specifically applications targeting Java 8. Developers as well as users that would like to learn Java programming should visit the dev.java website instead and business users should visit oracle.com/java for more information.

Today, in the modern world more than 3 billion devices run Java.

So, what can you do with Java? Here are the examples:

• Mobile applications (specially Android apps)
• Desktop applications
• Web applications
• Web servers and application servers
• Games
• Database connection
• And much, much more!

Cybersecurity/Pentest

In this program, we will cover the basics of information security vulnerabilities and ethical hacking. The principles of operations for assessing security of web applications, databases and operating systems will be presented with hands-on practices. Client-server working principles, web browser proxies, and basic web programming concepts will be introduced to describe the core issues related to information security.

It will be followed by exercises for hardening security from a defense perspective..
