Python Tutorial By Mosh

Ensure to have the core concpets well before moving forward else you will be more confused. Take time learning the concepts. You have some python knowledge? No worries just rewatch the tutorial for review. You can even watch the tutorial 2x faster if necessary. It's just important to jog your mind with the course before diving to Django.

1. Shifting to VS code
2. Breaking down Django introduction part.
3. Getting the most from Tutorial/ How to learn

1. Getting Started with Django in VS code

---

From the First tutorial, we are introduced to Pycharm code editor. And most student if not all adapt to the code editor. Pycharm is great just as much as VS code, but it's easier working with HTML, CSS, JS in VS code than Pycharm, henceforth, I shift to VS code for the rest of the challange. Setting up VS code for django environment can be a nightmare especially for begginers. Here is how to get started.

1. Install VS code (if you haven't already)
2. Download and Install python.
3. Install django framework -> run (pip install Django) command
4. Install the Python extension for Visual Studio Code (ctrl + shift + X ) has 94M+ downloads, verified by microsoft.
5. Set up your environment (ctrl + shift + D ) -> Run and debug, then select django
6. Open or create a Python file and start coding!
