I’m a complete beginner to programming. The course ‘Complete Python Mastery ‘ gives me a free Pro subscription for PyCharm, but it uses VSCode.
It is a real struggle to follow the course in PyCharm, so should I just switch to VSCode?
I find it just a bit strange to give PyCharm stuff when you use VSCode….
Yes you can use VS code for now because the course uses VS Code, so learning with VS code will be easier for you. Pycharm is good but it become more complex for beginners thats why it feet bit hard.
I would suggest use VS Code for now, after you become comfotable then move to PyCharm.
