One is based on using interactive online educational platforms and editors, which are extremely easy to start with. We found out that there are two opposite approaches to learning programming.

To understand what should be improved in P圜harm and how to make it the best educational IDE possible, we polled hundreds of instructors from different universities all around the world. We analyzed educational trends and tools on the market carefully. At some point it occurred to us that, with some work, its power could also be harnessed to serve educational purposes. P圜harm is a professional tool recognized among professionals all around the globe. “We believe that there should be no clear-cut distinction between tools used by professionals and tools used for education-just as professional writers use the same language and alphabet as their readers!” In designing this tool we have been inspired by Guido van Rossum, the creator of the Python programming language, who said: What is so special about P圜harm Educational Edition? We decided to create this new educational IDE, because we at JetBrains P圜harm, being a part of the Python community, are committed to providing quality, professional, seamless solutions for learning programming with Python, keeping the needs of both novice programmers and educators in mind. Python has long been used for educational purposes and is now the most popular language used to teach programming for beginners. We all know that computer programming studies are one of today’s major global trends, driven by open-access, non-credit education.

This easy-to-use yet powerful Python IDE includes special interactive educational functionality to help novice programmers learn the craft and turn professional quicker than ever before! It combines the easy learning curve of interactive coding platforms with the power of a real-world professional tool. Today we’re launching the free and open source P圜harm Educational Edition for students and teachers. If you’ve ever wanted to learn Python programming, get ready to be blown away.
