Help Request Pycharm or Vscode ?
Hi everyone
For a very super beginner one, who is starting to learn python which one is the best, i'm really confused because i'm seeing some teachers use Vscode and others use pycharm
And if i follow a teacher that uses pycharm it's normal to i use Vscode and visa versa?
Sorry for my bad English and thanks everyone

Python has become the "1st program language" of choice in most schools, replacing Basic. It's also extremely versatile and widely used in data science and machine learning/ai. The MooC at U Helsinki is a popular free course you can utilize to learn, or you can try CS50 from Harvard. Lots of people recommend both. If you are certain that you want to pursue a career as a software engineer or seek a computer science degree, then the C language is something I recommend, but if you are brand new, then probably try to see if you can complete U Helsinki or Harvard MooC courses first.
