I love the fact that you have a clear voice that is actually understandable. Thanks for getting these tutorials online.

I especially appreciated your inclusion of the conceptual drawing. It's very useful.

hello im gary im literally just starting out. Ive found coding to be ultra difficult as ive only had a computer a few years, but this made so much sense to me, il watch this more times but il also view every other video youve done, it was absolutely brilliant thankyou so much.

[lb_RobotMonkey]

Great presentation! I truly appreciate your pace and detailed explanation of the material and context. I love that you are coding "later in life". I'm 46 and working towards my second career from behind a keyboard after 25 years in law enforcement. Thank you!

[yusufrumi]

Hi, I appreciate the tutorial!
Referencing the slide at 2:22 in your video... When I initially create a project in PyCharm (where you created the ImportantDates project), it automatically creates the subfolder by the same name with the settings, urls and wsgi files in it. Is it really necessary to create another project within that project using the command line (as you create the Dates project)?

Also, when creating a new Django project, under the More Settings tab, PyCharm gives you the option to provide an Application name. If you do, it also creates the additional application folder with the included files. Is there any benefit to creating these via the command line, as opposed to using the automatic process when creating the New Project?

following along but don't have the option to select a framework when creating a new project with latest pycharm community edition v2019.3

Okay, first off this was extremely helpful!! although I had a question, I tried to follow your instructions to the T on my pycharm 2017 ver. 1.3, but first off I did not get the option to create a virtual environment on the same screen as you did, I had to click on settings on that dialogue box to create one. Secondly, I was unable to run the command Django-admin startproject Dates from anywhere beyond the screen @ 2:16. So I was left a little confused. perhaps you could help me out with that.

At 10:32 there isn't any "urls.py" file in date_track application folder, yet in 21:32 we're supposed to create a url pattern in a "urls.py" file which suddenly exists in the data_track application folder. How?

[mizzlehd]

Great video! I had some trouble running the server from the terminal as i was in the wrong directory, but a bit of googling and it did the job.
Also, i'm not sure i understand what the virtualenviroment is, and what it's function is, could you elaborate i bit?

[DanielPena-nvnj]

I do not see a urls.py folder when I make the date_track app. I'm using Windows 7, Pycharm professional edition 2020.1 and Python 3.8

[chentskooner]

you should specify whether it's on Mac or PC!

[DanielPena-nvnj]

Also I do not see a bin file in my venu folder. Am I doing something wrong?

Hello. I'm sorry but this tutorial is so confusing and extremely hard to follow. At the time of writing this comment, I was following along with the steps of the powerpoint to the letter and her pictures kept changing what her order of folders were, thus causing a lot of confusion. The naming of her files doesn't help the situation and quite frankly is irritating and makes things a lot harder than they have to be. I was so looking forward to learning Django through this tutorial but unfortunately, after spending over 3 hours trying to replicate the example shown in the powerpoint and having no luck, I'm going to have to find another tutorial that makes more sense to me.
