Hi fam! I downloaded Pycharm IDE to practice python. I’m a way beginner and am looking to become better. Can anyone point me toward better resources for learning how Pycharm works? The Jetbrain site is terrible and I can figure out how to get started smoothly.

@EVoCeO You should ask Dr Freeman, he's a Python programmer, besides many other talents.

@design_RG nice thanks!! I’m trying to get an all-in-one free IDE that is fun easy to use and has syntax coloring and stuff. I’ll hit em up!

@EVoCeO @design_RG PyCharm is great, but perhaps not easy to use. It is built from the ground up with things like virtual environments and reproducible builds in mind. If you're just getting started, I can see that being somewhat overwhelming. I would personally suggest that something like spyder might be better, for somebody getting started. It also has syntax highlighting and code completion, but will just use your default python installation and pip installs. I would also suggest that you go back to pycharm when you're thinking of starting your first serious project.

@comphys @design_RG Wow! thanks! great suggestions. I'll look up Spyder. I've never heard of it and it never came up in the recommendations online. 👍
