Productive Python with PyCharm

Modern Python development has become quite sophisticated, with large projects using many dependencies and multiple programming technologies. Some Python developers prefer an integrated development environment (IDE). PyCharm provides a powerful, mature IDE for Python and other technologies such as web development.

But PyCharm has a ton of features, and getting started with them can be daunting. Wouldn’t it be great to learn by writing a Python application, using the most PyCharmic techniques possible?

Here is that tutorial. In it, we construct a Flask application, in PyCharm, using a number of PyCharm features.

Note

All of the source code for each step along the way is available in the subdirectory for each step, in the GitHub repo.
