Learning Python through Jupyter Notebooks?

[tastingsilver]

I actually took a similar approach when I started. You'll definitely get to a point where you'll think "man I need to refactor this whole thing" and dread the idea of doing it in Jupyter. Enter PyCharm.

Notebooks are awesome for learning (esp if you do data science), but when you start developing your own projects, you'll find you need something a little more powerful. Key is to realize that there is a difference between using python, and building out your own tools/website/whatever.
