PyCharm can save you hours, but its first-run screens confuse most beginners. In under an hour you install it, set up an interpreter, customise the editor and learn the features that speed up everyday coding, so you start your Python work with the tool already working for you.
What the lectures cover
Besides the main topics, you also work through: Understand code in the editor; Use code completion to write faster; Practise with six short Python getting-started lectures.
How the course works
Every lecture is a short screen recording, so you can follow along in your own copy of PyCharm and pause whenever you need to. The course begins with the installation and the settings that confuse most beginners, moves on to the editor, and ends with a few Python lessons that you can use to practise what you have learned.
Inside the course
The course is organised into these sections: Getting Started; Working with Code; Python basics. Lectures you will find include: Get Acquainted with PyCharm.
The course runs about 54 minutes in 15 lectures. It is a short introduction to the editor and does not teach Python in depth. The Python lectures at the end are a gentle way to try the editor, not a full language course. You can leave the Python part until later if you only want the editor.
