Learn iPython: The Full Python IDE

Overview

Ipython refers to a command shell that is used for interactive computing purposes in multiple programming languages. It was initially created for the Python programming language and includes features such as interactive shells, a browser based notebook interface, tools for parallel computing, flexible interpreters and support for data visualization and for the use of GUI toolkits. The notebook interface and other language parts of iPython were shifted under Jupyter in 2014 by Fernando Perez. However, IPython still continues to be the Python shell and kernel for Jupyter.

Coding Python from the command line is not a fun experience when you begin getting into longer form code. The command line simply is not designed for that. That is where iPython comes in. At the end of this Learn iPython – the Full Python IDE course, you will have a thorough understanding of iPython. It may even become your go-to Python editor. You will also know the differences between iPython and Jupyter. This course will also help you develop an understanding of how iPython is an extremely efficient Python editor for long form code compared to the command line. You will be trained on how to enter in code, markdown for comments, and rearrange/edit code as needed through this course. The other basic concepts of IPython will also be covered through this course. This course will help you secure a rewarding place in the IT or programming field and to improve your existing expertise in programming.
