We'll be doing a ton of live demos
0:01
and almost every bit of code and concept covered
0:04
will be done in some form of a live demo.
0:08
That means we need a really solid editor.
0:10
We're going to use PyCharm.
0:12
I'm going to use PyCharm for this course.
0:14
And you, if you want to follow along exactly
0:16
should also use PyCharm.
0:18
It's in my opinion the best editor
0:20
at the moment for Python.
0:22
If you don't want to use PyCharm for whatever reason
0:24
you can use whatever editor you'd like.
0:26
If you want another recommendation
0:28
one that's free, the Visual Studio Code
0:31
with the Python plugin is looking like really
0:34
the second best option these days.
0:37
And it's really good, and it's really coming along.
0:39
One other thing about PyCharm
0:41
they have a community free edition
0:43
and they have a pro paid edition.
0:46
Often, the community free edition is totally good
0:48
and you can use it for writing
0:50
all kinds of stuff in Python.
0:52
However, one of the paid features
0:55
is web and database support.
0:57
This is a class about web and database programming
1:00
so as you might expect, you're going to have to have
1:02
the professional edition of PyCharm
1:04
to make full use of it with this course.
1:06
If you don't have or want to get
1:08
the professional edition of PyCharm
1:10
you can follow along with VS Code.
1:12
You can sort of follow along with the community edition
1:15
with a few little hacks to make it run.
1:18
But you won't get the full editor
1:19
to support in PyCharm community.
1:22
Be sure to get the right version
1:23
to get the most out of this course.
