Early Access PyCharm

It has been a decade since PyCharm 1.0 was released. This is the story of how it all started, and how it became what it is today.

In this episode, we talk to Kirill, a proud member of the VCS team, here at JetBrains. This is the team behind all your git support in your IDE. This is an interesting conversation, because the world of Version Control was not always so uniform. A decade ago there were many competing applications, but most recently, git has come out victorious. Kirill talks about how the initial version control program in IntelliJ came to be, and how it supported both distributed and centralised systems.

In this episode, we talk to Max, a proud member of the DataGrip team. Why DataGrip you might ask? Well, it turns out that PyCharm's database features all come from the DataGrip. We talk to Max about the new MongoDB support as well as plans for future Database support. This is one episode you don't want to miss!

In our first ever episode, PyCharm's Developer Advocate, Nafiul Islam talks to Aleksei Kniazev; a veteran PyCharm developer. The conversation centres around the PyCharm 2020.2 release. We get to talk to Aleksei, learn a little more about the PyCharm team, and gain an understanding of how we build PyCharm as an IDE.

Early Access PyCharm is a podcast that goes behind the scenes of how the  PyCharm IDE is made, and the thinking that goes into it. We will  interview members of the PyCharm team and find out what goes into making  an IDE.
