The latest updates on all JetBrains products and topics
Learn how to bootstrap your Node.js app with a Dockerfile, then run and debug your app in Docker from the WebStorm IDE.
Our April 25th webinar on Visual Debugging went quite well: just over 1 hour, a lot of fun, and covered nearly all of the topics. The recording is now available on YouTube. Additionally, the code and slides used are available in a GitHub repository. “Visually Debugging” is a theme that we plan to…
Are you a Python developer who knows you should use the debugger, but don’t yet? Or perhaps you are familiar with debugging, but know there is more productivity if you’d spend some time to learn? TUESDAY, April 25 16:00 CEST / 10:00 AM EDT Registration PyCharm puts a visual face on de…
PyCharm 2017.1 has several notable improvements, but there’s one that’s particularly fun to talk about: debugger speedups. PyCharm’s visual debugger regularly gets top billing as a feature our customer value the highest. Over the last year, the debugger saw a number of feature improvements and sever…
Jim Fulton, my friend and former co-worker, was one of the original leaders in the Python community. Over the years he created important Python software (cPickle), Python’s original “killer app” (Zope, as stated in magazine articles), and a leading build system (buildout).

I’d love to repeat this, so if you have a meetup or user group and are interested, let me know. The recording is below...let’s …
It’s an indisputable (alternative) fact that, since Before the Dawn of Time™, or at least since GUIs became in vogue, file explorers are an essential part of any programming tool. Gotta browse them trees. It’s impossible to imagine not having your directory browser open in something like PyCh…
The Python community has long been hailed as inviting to newcomers. But it’s now huge, which can be daunting. Fortunately, we have some guides that help you sort through all the packages and happenings. Michael Kennedy has long been one of those guides, especially with his long-running, well-known T…
Let’s say you have a really dense function or method, with lots of arguments passed in and lots of local variables. Syntax highlighting helps some, but can PyCharm do more? In 2017.1, PyCharm ships with “semantic highlighting” available as a preference. What is it, what problem does it solve, and…
Earlier this month I did a What’s New in PyCharm 2016.3 webinar which toured the new features in 2016.3: Python 3.6, Django, web, VCS, and platform. Rather than a simple feature list, I took a different approach. We received some useful feedback, so I thought I’d write a recap and share some thought…
