Resources for Comp151
Development Tools
- create a Jetbrains student account to get the professional Jetbrains products for free.
- Jetbrains Toolbox I recommend you use Jetbrains toolbox to manage your IDEs
- Pycharm IDE : In this class, we will use pycharm to develop code and projects - you can install it directly with the toolbox app
- Get Git you need git to turn in projects for this class., It is likely pre-installed on Linux, and will install with the mac xcode command line tools. You will definitely need to install it yourself on windows though.
- Get the python programming language compiler, tools etc. (if you are on windows 10/11, you can get it from the windows store)
