         <description><![CDATA[<div>The Python programming language comes with its own built-in Integrated Development Environment (IDE) called IDLE. The name, IDLE, supposedly came from the actor, Eric Idle, who was a part of the Monty Python troupe, which is what Python itself is named after.</div><div>&nbsp;</div><div>IDLE comes with Python on Windows and some Linux variants. You may need to install IDLE separately on your particular flavor of Linux or on Mac if you plan to use the Python that came with the operating system. You should check out the Python website for full instructions on how to do so as each operating system is different.</div><div>&nbsp;</div><div>On that last point, breakpoints tell the debugger where to pause execution. Debugging is the process of going through your code step-by-step to figure out how it works or to fix an issue with your code.</div><div>&nbsp;</div><div>IDLE itself has other attributes that are useful, such as access to Python documentation, easy access to the source code via the Class Browser, and much more. However, IDLE is not the only way to code in Python. There are <a href="https://fancyhints.com/"><strong>Python</strong></a>many useful IDEs out there. You can also use a text editor if you prefer.&nbsp;</div><div>&nbsp;</div><div>PyCharm and WingIDE both have free and paid versions of their programs. The paid versions have many more features, but if you are just starting out, their free offerings are quite nice. VS Code and Spyder are free.&nbsp;</div><div>&nbsp;</div><div>VS Code can also be used for coding in many other languages. Note that to use VS Code effectively with Python, you will need to install a Python extension. You can also use the PyDev plugin for Eclipse to program in Python.</div><div>&nbsp;</div><div>Other popular editors for Python include SublimeText, vim, emacs, and even Notepad++. These editors may not be 100% up-to-date on the syntax of the language, but you can use them for multiple programming languages.</div><div>&nbsp;</div><div><strong>Wrapping Up</strong></div><div>There are lots of Python code editors to choose from. IDLE is nice in that it comes with Python and is written in Python, so you can actually learn a lot just by looking at its source code. PyCharm and VS Code are very popular right now. Wing IDE used to be more popular than it is today, but I think it is still really great. All of these tools are good, but you should give them a try to see which one works the best for you.</div><div>&nbsp;</div><div>Read More – <a href="https://fancyhints.com/">https://fancyhints.com/</a></div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>The European Union (EU) has published details of its new <a href="https://ec.europa.eu/digital-single-market/en/news/eus-cybersecurity-strategy-digital-decade-0">EU Cybersecurity Strategy</a>, intended to bolster Europe’s collective resilience against cyber threats and ensure citizens and businesses can benefit from trustworthy and reliable <a href="https://ec.europa.eu/digital-single-market/en/digital-services-act-package">digital services</a>.&nbsp;</div><div>&nbsp;</div><div>The bloc hopes the move will enable it to step up its leadership on international cyber security norms and standards, and strengthen international collaboration.</div><div>&nbsp;</div><div>Presented jointly by the European Commission (EC) and the high representative of the Union for Foreign Affairs and Security, the strategy will form a key component of Shaping Europe’s Digital Future, the Recovery Plan for Europe, and the EU Security Union Strategy.</div><div>&nbsp;</div><div>“International security and stability depends more than ever on a global, open, stable and secure cyber space where the rule of law, human rights, freedoms and democracy are respected,” said high representative Josep Borrell.</div><div>&nbsp;</div><div>“With today’s strategy, the EU is stepping up to protect its governments, citizens and businesses from global cyber threats, and to provide leadership in cyber space, making sure everybody can reap the benefits of the <a href="https://fancyhints.com/"><strong>Security</strong></a> internet and the use of technologies.”</div><div>&nbsp;</div><div>The digital transformation is accelerating, but can only succeed if people and businesses can trust that the connected products and services – on which they rely – are secure.”</div><div>&nbsp;</div><div>The strategy’s core aim is to safeguard a global, open internet while offering protections to ensure security and protect collective European values and rights. To this end, it contains a number of proposals for regulatory, investment and policy initiatives in three action areas.</div><div>&nbsp;</div><div>The first action area, “Resilience, technological sovereignty and leadership”, covers new proposals to reform network and information systems security rules to <a href="https://www.computerweekly.com/news/252492685/Securing-UKs-critical-national-infrastructure-is-a-2021-priority">increase resilience for critical national infrastructure</a> (CNI).&nbsp;</div><div>&nbsp;</div><div>The EC is also planning to launch a network of security operations centres (SOCs) across the EU, “powered by AI”, which it believes will form a cyber security early warning shield. Further measures will offer support to SMEs, alongside security <a href="https://searchsecurity.techtarget.com/post/The-challenge-of-addressing-the-IT-and-security-skills-gap">upskilling and recruitment programmes</a>.</div><div>&nbsp;</div><div>Read More – <a href="https://fancyhints.com/">https://fancyhints.com/</a></div>]]></description>
