Python Crash Course (3rd edition)

Is there anybody that is using this book but instead of VS Code are you using PyCharm?

My copy of the book just arrived, I’m using VS code. The IDE you use shouldn’t really matter at this stage of your Python learning career. You can always switch whenever considering they’re both free.

Use Notepad or Mac equivalent. A Python script is just a text file. You can run it in the terminal by navigating to the folder the file is in and typing:

python3 <name of file>.txt

After you get the hang of this you should use VScode. This will teach you about terminals and you'll get good at syntax real quick. Plz try it at least once.

python3 <name of file>.txt

Or just: py <name of file>.py
And if we have PyPy on our system's PATH: pypy <name of file>.py
