Python is a versatile programming language that can help solve problems in various fields. With PyCharm as an IDE, you will learn to build Python applications step-by-step.

This book is for beginner to intermediate software developers and data scientists who want to use Python for web development and for data science projects. This book aims to provide readers with a solid understanding of Python and the use of PyCharm to expedite their learning and developing applications. From the thirteen chapters of this book, you will learn four main skills. First, you will learn how to set up PyCharm and create virtual environments for Python development within it. Second, you will explore core concepts of Python, including variables, data types, conditional and loop constructs, and object-oriented concepts. Third, you will explore the core components of web development and learn how PyCharm can be utilized to develop Python-based web applications. Lastly, you will learn how to build data pipelines using Python libraries.

By the end of this book, you will be able to do some serious Python programming for building applications or for your data analysis projects. A prior knowledge of Python is not required, but familiarity with any programming language can accelerate the learning process.
