Script provided https://github.com/timcu/bpaml-sessions/blob/master/online/meetup219_tim_venv_vscode_pycharm.md Virtual environments protect your system python installation from corruption so should be the first thing you learn before you start your first local Python project. This session will show how to create and use virtual environments from the command line, VS Code and PyCharm. It will also run through installing Python, VS Code, PyCharm and Git. If you install these prior to the session it will be easier to follow along. https://python.org - install Python https://jetbrains.com - install PyCharm Community Edition https://code.visualstudio.com - install VS Code https://git-scm.com - install Git Instructor: D Tim Cummings There is a slackspace for sharing data and chatting during the streaming event at beginnerspython.slack.com - please email skypyprojectatgmaildotcom for an invitation to join the space.
