PyCon 2019, Cleveland...heck of an event and kudos to Ernest Durbin for a most memorable edition in his delightful city. We at PyCharm did some memorable things at PyCon, with some weird ideas that turned out nicely. Some time has passed: let’s do a retrospective. Central Idea: “The Big Tent” In a nutshell, we got a bigger booth and invited some of the major Python content creators to share one side. Where did this idea come from? At the previous PyCon, we were in a HumbleBundle with some of them, did an open space, and dang if a good audience didn’t show up. And not just for one of us, but f

PyCon 2019 last week was exciting for us for many reasons but near the top of the list: the reveal of Effective PyCharm, a new book by Michael Kennedy and Matt Harrison. About the Book Michael and Matt describe the book as "A hands on approach to learning the the PyCharm IDE". I reviewed it pre-release and I can certainly confirm this. The book covers a lot of ground, is well-organized, with copious examples, and covers the latest-and-greatest in Python and PyCharm. The editor, refactoring, VCS, web and databases, the debugger (of course), visual testing (double of course), and more

PyCharm is very excited to be hosting some of the big names in the world of Python content, aka the “Content Creators.” Who are they, what do they do, and what do they have going on in the booth at PyCon? Let’s take a look at when they’ll be at their stand, what activities and talks they have in the mini-theater, and if they’re taking slots for one-on-one time (contact them directly for appointments.) Plus, some surprises hidden here and there. Note: Time slot schedule might change once we’re at the conference. MetaSnake (Twitter) Matt Harrison’s MetaSnake is a customized Python training

tl;dr Fresh new tutorial techniques and testimonials solicited PyCon US 2017 is around the corner if you stretch your neck and have good eyesight. More specifically, the deadline for tutorial proposals is right on our doorstep. We’ve been hatching a good idea for a tutorial, putting a lot of work into finding some clever new approaches and would like some ideas from our PyCharmers. And selfishly, we’d like some testimonials we can submit if you attended our EuroPython or PyCon India tutorials. Our tutorial idea is “Debugging for the Masses...Visually”. Our thesis: lots of people aren’t using t

September 23th – 25th, the JetBrains PyCharm Team will be in New Delhi, India for PyCon India 2016. As an important part of our participation, we’re going to conduct a 3-hours Productive Coding with PyCharm workshop on Friday and give a “Polyglot Python with PyCharm” talk on Saturday.

Next Tuesday at EuroPython 2016 in Bilbao, I'm giving a tutorial Productive Coding with PyCharm. I'm not going to resort to begging you to come to it...oh who am I kidding, PICK ME PICK ME! For my PyCon tutorials over the years, I settled on an approach which is hands-on, broken into sections containing steps or tasks. Each step has an extensive writeup done in Sphinx, with working code for the results of each step available in GitHub. The writeup details the work to do, followed by an analysis section, and an extra credit section (for those that go fast). On each step, I demo what's to be don
