Hands-On Application Development with PyCharm

By: Quan Nguyen

Overview of this book

JetBrain’s PyCharm is the most popular Integrated Development Environment (IDE) used by the Python community thanks to its numerous features that facilitate faster, more accurate, and more productive programming practices. However, the abundance of options and customizations can make PyCharm seem quite intimidating. Hands-on Application Development with PyCharm starts with PyCharm’s installation and configuration process, and systematically takes you through a number of its powerful features that can greatly improve your productivity. You’ll explore code automation, version control, graphical debugging/testing, management of virtual environments, and much more. Finally, you’ll delve into specific PyCharm features that support web development and data science, two of the fastest growing applications in Python programming. These include the integration of the Django framework as well as the extensive support for IPython and Jupyter Notebook. By the end of this PyCharm book, you will have gained extensive knowledge of the tool and be able to implement its features and make the most of its support for your projects.

Moving forward with PyCharm

So far, we have considered specific features in PyCharm and how they can help you write your Python applications. Now we will briefly go over a number of more general discussion points on how to use the software at a high level. First, let's talk about a resource for learning how to use PyCharm that I have included in further reading lists—the official documentation from JetBrains.

Using official documentation

As with any great software out there, PyCharm comes with detailed and extensive official documentation, which lays out the individual features and functionalities available in PyCharm as well as how to use them. All of these resources can be found at www.jetbrains.com/pycharm/documentation...
