be clear enough to understand code when it is in front of you. +A blank slate could still pose a challenge but for that, here are some links and recommendations. + +## IDE + +Maybe try out some other IDE to see if you like the workflow or layout better. +I'm a big fan of [vim](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vim_(text_editor)), especially with some good [plugins](https://gitea.86thumbs.net/waldek/linux_course_doc/src/branch/master/modules/qualifying/learning_vim_configuration.md). +It's not an *easy* editor to learn but the payoff is pretty great. +For the more *normal* people I would recommend having a look at the following editors, in no particular order. + +* [atom](https://atom.io/) +* [vscode](https://code.visualstudio.com/) +* [brackets](https://brackets.io/) +* [spyder](https://www.spyder-ide.org/) for a more scientific approach + +Don't hop around too much though. +If you're a bit bored with pycharm it could be refreshing to *see* your code through a different window. + +## Syntax + +Start paying attention to the style guides that pop up in your IDE and follow up on them by reading the actual rules. +It can be good way to discover some do's and don't and help you to make your code more readable. +I would also recommend you start browsing online for some coding project in a field of your interests. +The bigger the project, the higher the chance it follows a specific style. +By reading and trying to understand their code, you'll start to build a better feel how to annotate, structure and make your code more readable. +As this is a *very* subjective topic I can only point you to projects I like. + +* [python-language-server](https://github.com/palantir/python-language-server) +*

definitely need to learn [SQL](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SQL) at some point but you can make your life easier by using [sqlalchemy](https://www.sqlalchemy.org/). + +If you want to dive deep into data science you'll need get comfortable with [numpy](https://numpy.org/), [pandas](https://pandas.pydata.org/) and [matplotlib](https://matplotlib.org/). +The easiest way to get comfortable with all of those is probably [jupyter notebook](https://jupyter-notebook.readthedocs.io/en/stable/index.html) which is an IDE that you use in your browser. +It's quite different from the pycharm you're used to but it's a very good tool to do data analysis. + +If robotics is your thing you might want to give [micropython](https://micropython.org/) a go. +I've never used it myself but I've heard good things about it. + +## Books + +These are some books I've actually read and enjoyed. + +* [mastering python design
