Harvard CS50’s Introduction to Programming with Python – Full University Course

By freeCodeCamp.org
Published: May 01, 2023

“
Learn Python programming from Harvard University. It dives more deeply into the design and implementation of web apps with Python, JavaScript, and SQL using frameworks like Django, React, and Bootstrap. Topics include database design, scalability, security, and user experience. You will learn how to write and use APIs, create interactive UIs, and leverage cloud services like GitHub and Heroku.

This course will teach you how to read and write code as well as how to test and “debug” it. It is designed for students with or without prior programming experience who’d like to learn Python specifically. Learn about functions, arguments, and return values (oh my!); variables and types; conditionals and Boolean expressions; and loops. Learn how to handle exceptions, find and fix bugs, and write unit tests; use third-party libraries; validate and extract data with regular expressions; model real-world entities with classes, objects, methods, and properties; and read and write files. Hands-on opportunities for lots of practice. Exercises inspired by real-world programming problems. No software required except for a web browser, or you can write code on your own PC or Mac.

Whereas CS50x (the original CS50 course) itself focuses on computer science more generally as well as programming with C, Python, SQL, and JavaScript, this course, aka CS50P, is entirely focused on programming with Python. You can take CS50P before CS50x, during CS50x, or after CS50x. But for an introduction to computer science itself, you should still take CS50x!

Pro Tip Multiple Terminal Management in VS Code

By codeSTACKr
Published: Feb 10, 2023

“
VS Code Tip of the Day
Open your terminal in vs code by pressing Ctrl+`.
You can add multiple terminals by clicking the plus button or Ctrl+Shift+`.
You can move between terminals by using Ctrl+PageUp/PageDown.
You can also create split terminals and move between terminals in a group using Alt+ArrowUp/ArrowDown.
But we have these terminals and it’s not clear what they are for.
We can rename these to backend and frontend.
We can change the colors.
We can even change the icons. We could change the backend icon to a server and the frontend icon to a person.
And if you really want to go next level with your terminals, move them into the editor area!
Creating multiple terminals in Visual Studio Code is so helpful when you need to do something like spin up your backend and frontend separately.
