Preface

TLDR: So you want more PyCharm productivity, but don't want to read a book. I get that! So, just head over to the main menu, go over to Help and then Productivity Guide. If you want to get down to the best tools, read Chapter 4, Editing, Chapter 5, Interpreters and Consoles, and Chapter 6, Debugging. However, if you read this book, you'll get a lot more.

Welcome to Mastering PyCharm. If you've bought this book, then you probably want to become more effective with PyCharm in your day-to-day work. However, whether you can truly master a tool as multifaceted as PyCharm is completely up for debate since PyCharm changes so fast and so quickly. However, what I can promise you is that you will learn a great deal not only about how to use PyCharm, but how PyCharm works as part of the IntelliJ ecosystem of IDEs and what that means in terms of tooling and extensibility.
