Your course success matters to me

2

and I wanna make sure that you get the most

3

out of this course.

4

Now for this, of course, you should watch the videos.

5

It's a Video on Demand course,

6

so you should watch the videos to get all the knowledge

7

and you should watch them in order, step-by-step.

8

And of course, also repeat videos,

9

if something is not clear immediately

10

or even repeat an entire section

11

if you're not 100% sold on a certain concept.

12

Now, watch the videos, but watch them at your pace.

13

You can control the playback speed

14

and I would recommend that you utilize these tools

15

to make sure that you don't get lost,

16

or you don't get bored, whatever might be the case.

17

Now, also don't just watch the videos,

18

but if possible, code along and code ahead.

19

I will often challenge you to solve something

20

on your own first, before we solve it together.

21

Especially when we work on the big course project,

22

and I do recommend that you really try doing that.

23

By coding along, pausing the video,

24

trying something out on your own in your code,

25

maybe failing, and then fixing it

26

and then watching my solution.

27

By doing that, you will get way more out of the course

28

than you will by just watching the videos,

29

which of course is also fine,

30

but definitely consider coding along.

31

And always, of course, compare your solution to mine

32

to see why you might be facing a certain error

33

or to question your solution, or mine.

34

Maybe your solution is better. Definitely code along.

35

And also, use the code attachments,

36

which you'll find in this course.

37

On the last lecture, last lecture, of every module,

38

you will find a link to a GitHub repository,

39

with attachments or with code snapshots,

40

for the various course lectures of that module.

41

And you can download these attachments

42

to compare my code to yours

43

and solve problems you might be facing

44

and fix errors you might be getting.

45

You'll also find slides for the given module attached there.

46

Now, last but not least,

47

if you have questions beyond the course,

48

or if you wanna implement something in your own project,

49

or if you have a problem you can't solve,

50

ask and help each other.

51

We got a Discord channel,

52

to which you'll find a link in the next lecture.

53

And we got a Q&A section,

54

which you can also use for course-related issues.

55

Discord can be used for any kind of question,

56

and I strongly recommend

57

that you do utilize that, especially Discord.

58

There you find thousands of like-minded developers

59

and it's a great place to exchange opinions, share projects,

60

discuss problems, or simply have a good time.

61

And if you follow these steps, or these advices here,

62

if you take that into account,

63

then you should have a great course success

64

and you should be getting a lot out of the course.

65

And therefore, with that, enough of the introduction.

66

Let's get started, and in the next section,

67

let's get started with setting up a new Django project.
