Find an editor
==============

Before we start developing, you need an editor. Since we're mostly using `Python <https://www.python.org/>`_ & `Django <https://www.djangoproject.com/>`_, you want to find a generic editor or a Python `IDE <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Integrated_development_environment>`_.

Here are some editors we're using or have used internally:

- `Sublime Text <https://www.sublimetext.com/>`_
- `Visual Studio Code <https://code.visualstudio.com/>`_
- `Atom <https://atom.io/>`_
- `Pycharm <https://www.jetbrains.com/pycharm/>`_

Feel free to ask the team which editors we use, then install your own preferred editor.

.. note::

    Please note, all the editors have their benefits and disadvantages. For example, `Sublime Text`_ is highly customisable and very "hacker friendly" since you do most things via keyboard, but has no IDE out of the box. `Pycharm`_ on the other hand provides a very smart IDE, but might not be as customisable as its competitors.
