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.

Git and GitHub

Git (along with its cloud interface GitHub) is undoubtedly the most common version control tool in the field of programming and software engineering today. Even if you are not using Git and GitHub to facilitate version control for your projects, you actually have already interacted with GitHub in a sense when downloading the code repository for this book!

In this section, we will go into details about how to get started as a Git user (if you are not already one), and various options available for the facilitation of version control. Again, if you are already an experienced Git user, feel free to skip to the next section to learn about the integration of Git in PyCharm.
