The editor and the IDE that I am going to be using throughout this course is called PyCharm.
0:06
In my opinion, this is hands down the best tooling for writing Python applications;

you don't have to use PyCharm, if you do want to just go to jetbrains.com/pycharm, they have two basic versions, you can get the community edition
0:20
which is free and open source, or you can get the pro version which costs some money, it's not super expensive but does cost some money.

For this course, I don't believe there is anything in there that is required
0:31
that is only in the pro version, so the community edition should be totally fine, for taking this course, if you have the pro version,
0:38
hey you have some other cool features and that's great. If you don't want to use PyCharm, that's fine,
0:43
the code we are working with is not that complex, it's pretty self contained,
0:46
you can use Sublime text, you can use Visual Studio Code with the Python plugin or extension, you can use Emacs, you can use Vim,
0:53
but the demos I am doing are going to be in PyCharm so if you want to follow exactly along- get PyCharm.
