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.

Getting the source code from GitHub

As we mentioned previously, while we will be working through all the code examples in this book step by step, you may also take advantage of the code repository of this book, which is stored on GitHub.

Generally, you should follow the discussions in individual chapters and edit your projects as you go to get a full understanding of the materials. With that being said, you can potentially point your PyCharm to the completed projects in the repository to import them into your workspace. We will see how to do this (importing an existing project into PyCharm) in the next chapter, though you should only do this if you have sufficiently familiarized yourself with the materials for a given project.

Now, let's get back to downloading the repository from GitHub:
