The editor and the IDE that I am going to be using throughout this course is called PyCharm.
0:05
In my opinion, this is hands down the best tooling for writing Python applications;
0:10
you don't have to use PyCharm, if you do want to just go to jetbrains.com/pycharm,
0:15
they have two basic versions, you can get the community edition
0:19
which is free and open source,
0:22
or you can get the pro version which costs some money,
0:24
it's not super expensive but does cost some money.
0:26
For this course, I don't believe there is anything in there that is required
0:30
that is only in the pro version, so the community edition should be totally fine,
0:33
for taking this course, if you have the pro version,
0:37
hey you have some other cool features and that's great.
0:39
If you don't want to use PyCharm, that's fine,
0:42
the code we are working with is not that complex, it's pretty self contained,
0:45
you can use Sublime text, you can use Visual Studio Code with the Python plugin
0:49
or extension, you can use Emacs, you can use Vim,
0:52
but the demos I am doing are going to be in PyCharm
0:56
so if you want to follow exactly along- get PyCharm.
