*For Windows users:*
INTERPRETER:
_In the virtual environment folder, instead of "bin" folder we have "Script" folder._
PYTHON INTERPRETER:
_You must provide full path to the python executable - i.e.:
MISSING .vscode FOLDER:
_Using command pallete, open "Open Workspace Settings (JSON)". This will force .vscode folder to appear._

I feel so secure when mosh says in this course i’ll teach you everything you need to know.

My first video of yours, your ability to teach this framework in a linear fashion that actually MAKES SENSE cant be found anywhere else. Saved me a bunch of time and hassle for this project I have coming up. Thanks a lot!

After going through college and having countless hours spent in front of my computer trying to figure things out on my own, this video was like a touch from god, it was so easy to follow and very very well explained. Thanks for your help!

Best 3 hours spent on an online course! I like the fast pace of the course, that was compacted with so much information that I had to keep pausing, trying to understand, googling new terminology. This course is so inspiring and worth spending time on. I enjoyed every single minute of it. Thank you so much for sharing the knowledge, I really appreciate it. Will continue on the 10-hour course! Wish you all the best!

I think you are one of the few instructors who actually take the time to create content on testing and deployment for your courses. Having a CS background, I really like how you differentiate yourself in this regard.

To all those coming in and using vscode on windows, when setting your interpreter path, its in, not \bin\python. Obviously substitute "User" with your username, and "XXX" with your env.

This also doubles up for those looking for the "bin" directory when hes showing where its at in file explorer, its in "scripts".

Update: it seems for the python virtual env in terminal on vscode there seems to have been an update on windows. Now when you go to select it will show you the name of the virtual env you are trying to select in ()'s so you can be sure. Inside the parentheses will be the name of the folder you started the virtual env in. Pretty cool.

I've been struggling to understand the basic concept of django for the past 3 years, it's amazing that I found my answers just 30 minutes into this awesome video tutorial.

Thanks Mosh

YouTube really seems like blessing because of people like you. thank you!🥰

I was following along with the tutorial that is provided on the Django page and getting through it ok, but I’m about a quarter of the way through your video and it’s already so much better because you are explaining the why. So many tutorials just take the approach of “do this, then do that.” But it makes it hard to apply to other scenarios because you don’t know why you’re doing certain things. So great job!

[Paul-jsro]

I celebrate you Mosh. Always wanted to get started on programming. I bought tonnes of books and wasted years but could never really get started. Now am on my way to learning thanks to you. I have rediscovered my interest and am enjoying every step!

[memeline]

hey mosh! thanks for making this course, It helped me and its wonderful! to all of the people reading this comment please understand that learning to code takes time. try to give python 1 hour daily and it's very important to understand the basics of python. so good luck out there!

[vdevivaraprasad]

I am waiting for this course from you sir.finally you are made this.from last one year i am learning the programming languages that are made by you.those are out standing and explanation is beautiful.

[kirwakelvinkering]

Thank you Soo much Mosh, , I rigmaroled around many webs for a long time to understand Django, , but guess what, everything was in vain. With this one-hour tutorial , I immediately navigated almost all tutorials, , be it 10-hour long, 3-hour long et cetera, you are just the best of all teachers we have in the S. Engineering field . Again, thank you much 👏

[banhimukherjee]

I was stuck at one place for quite sometime , today as a beginner could finally launch Django..Thank you Mosh, great video.

[TheGrandmaster]

Thanks for this man. I have a few courses that are like 10 hours but they seem a little overwhelming to start with. But I love your stuff. Really gets me up and going. Someday I might actually have a nicer place to live, and a nicer car and better life because of channels like this.

[dahiaturriduan]

This came at the perfect time, I was about to finish the python tutorial video and this came, thanks again.

[chriss]

This amazing feeling when you see only errors in the browser and then Boom suddenly it works. So satisfying. Thank you Mosh. I think in December I'll buy your full course on Django.

[halimasworld]

I love Mosh’s videos. I have learned Python, Javascript and Html by his videos.
Mosh can you make a video on Flutter please? Because I can’t understand any other tutorials except yours.

The legend is back. 😍 As a self-taught programmer, your crash courses are always in my starter pack.
Thanks to you I'm now a Frontend Engineer.💖
