Who is this course for?
For anyone who has never used PyCharm: You will see what a true Python IDE has to offer in a concrete and demo-focused tour de force.
Existing PyCharm users: Your IDE has a wealth of features that you might not even know exist. You will see and explore most of them in this course!
Concepts backed by concise visuals
While exploring a topic interactively with demos and live code is very engaging, it can lose the forest for the trees. That's why when we hit a new topic, we stop and discuss it with concise and clear visuals.
Here's an example of concepts reviewing the database tools within PyCharm.
Hands-on exercises for almost every chapter
Learning IDEs can be hard. There are just so many features. Unless you build that muscle memory with practice, most of them will be forgotten. Mastering PyCharm has hands-on exercises for almost every chapter of the course.
These exercises range in length from 10 minutes to about 30 minutes each.
