It's time to focus on the editor.
0:04
This is the most important tool from any development environment that you want to work with
0:10
and in PyCharm, it's no different.
0:13
The editor is the most important place where you're going to spend almost all of your
0:17
time. Everything else adds to this experience.
0:20
As you can imagine. The editor and PyCharm is really good at working on
0:24
python code. But what's not obvious is it's actually much,
0:27
much more. I've heard people say,
0:29
well I don't use PyCharm because I actually do a lot of stuff on the
0:32
web and so I want to be able to work with other files like Javascript and
0:35
html Well, guess what, As you'll learn,
0:38
PyCharm has great support for Javascript, Typescript,
0:43
Coffee script, CSS, LESS. You name it.
0:46
Html the various templates, Jinja, Chameleon and Django and so on.
0:51
So this editor, while primarily we're going to be using it for python because your
0:54
python developers and this is a PyCharm course,
0:57
it actually works on many, many things beyond just straight '.py' files.
1:03
And you'll see that this editor,
1:04
because of the projects that we already spoke about understands your code better than almost any
1:09
other tool, as far as I know better than any other tool out there.
1:13
But in PyCharm, the editor has many subtle benefits and aspects that are really
1:19
powerful, so they're not always obvious and that's a big part of what this whole chapter is about. So lets go and discover all the amazing features.
