Technology Leader | AI/Data Scientist | Computer Scientist | Educator | Theoretical Particle Physicist

This is a short and simple tutorial where Asif Qamar will walk through the process of setting up a Python development environment completely for AI.

We will use UV, a modern package and project management tool that, in our view, supersedes conda, pip,pipx, poetry etc., and is super-fast and super-easy to boot!

Key Highlights from the session:
- Modern IDEs and AI-Assisted Coding: Highlights popular Python IDEs like VS Code, Cursor, and PyCharm, with a focus on AI-assisted tools such as Copilot and Cursor for code generation, review, and debugging.

- UV for Project Management: Explains the advantages of UV, a modern tool for Python version and dependency management, offering seamless project initialization, virtual environments, and compatibility handling.

- Workflow and Best Practices: Outlines a streamlined Python development workflow using UV, including project initialization, dependency management, automated virtual environment setup, and testing practices.

- Hands-On Demonstrations and Resources: Showcases live examples of Python project setup, execution, and documentation generation, while emphasizing UV’s simplicity and the availability of extensive learning resources and community support.
