Lit up till the brim,

You wave at me

from up above.

Mesmerised,

I wonder,

Do you call

the dazzling

effulgence

your own?

The mortal I,

clutch on to my

words so tight.

Teach me the art

of being empty

to be full.

Dear,

November Moon.

He would have given me the moon

All I had to do was ask

Even when his eyes were maddened

They only saw beauty in me

Experiment in Love

MY LOVE IS A MUSE

Experiment in Love

Very long-distance love

It happened in November, not one of my favourites months. I prefer October because of the falling leaves. I guess that my heart is French, though my mind has been ravaged by the words of the Bard. Shakespeare seems to rule my brain, and I’m afraid, both hemispheres. I may need a third. But my muse is the Queen, and the King if I add everything else that she does. O muse, you doth me the blues. My blue soul is in love with your red heart.

You see, my dear readers and perhaps new friends, I’m in love with a muse who lives on the Moon, but she may be moving soon and not to blue Earth. I can’t even type it. Please, wait! She may be moving to red Mars. I always hated Mars. Come on, Elon Musk! Let’s create a red moon, both for my muse and any red addict. Earth is blue, the most beautiful colour there is in the universe. Had Earth been red, I would surely have been dead, and my muse knows it very well. But she’s a red creature, though she likes a blue one. Go figure! A muse is a muse.

I sometimes wonder if my life has become an experiment in very long-distance love. Earth and the Moon in love, unable to let go of each other. It seems that blue and red are attracted hues. They are in love. And if you add white, their teeth when they open their mouths to seal a long kiss, till the end of time, you get several flags, including the French. It may be the reason why my muse prefers French. She says that it lives in her heart. But like me, English and the Bard have occupied a significant section of her mind. Perhaps it’s the reason why she became my muse, since besides love, we also share the words through which love whirls like any satellite and planet in the mind-boggling universe.

Maybe one of you can fall in love with someone very far, even on a faraway sphere or a light-years-away galaxy, or to get back to Earth, next door, next town, beyond any pond, and above any mountain, even Everest. Love can penetrate any wall, any storm, any boundary. Believe me, I know. I’m in love with a muse who lives on the Moon.

Your Detailed Experiment

First, select a direction. You have six. North, south, east, west, up, and down. I always look up since I’m already on the ground.

Second, try to put a face on the direction you choose. North can look like a warrior princess in search of a mate, or an ailing warrior looking for a muse. South can look like a belle, or a beau who doesn’t know. East can wear a cap on her hair, or be bold like a politician. West can exude the Sun, or climb a tree to escape the fire. Up is everything like the copious buffets in Las Vegas. Down only means through Earth to the other side. So if, for example, you’re standing (or lying) in Christchurch, New Zealand, you may look for your long-distance love in Coruna, Spain, the antipode for your still unrequited love.

That’s it, future experimenter, the ball is in or on your court.

Self-Esteem

Photo by Martin Vorel (CC0) on Libreshot

Your self-esteem is too low, my dearest

You should be kicking everything in sight

You’re beautiful, what could be the clearest

So you, my muse, will perceive this true light

I meant all my words, even those dismissed

by your stance that real love is nowhere near

I feel it here, in my heart, like a fist

looking to open wide for your best spear

By Jove, I confess, I could arrange all

it takes to win your heart to join to mine

as we face the world’s undeserving wall

as we do our best to follow the line

I look at your eyes, they bring me some love

though I would prefer to become your glove

China Successfully lands a Spacecraft for the third time in this decade.
By: Haribalaji R
Tags: Moon, China

Regarding the Spacecraft the launch mass is 8,200 kg (18,100 lb)and it is manufactured by the China Academy of Space Technology (CAST).The Spacecraft is expected to carry 2 kilograms (4.4 pounds) of lunar soil and rock samples return back to the earth. The mission’s landing zone is near Mons Rumker Oceanus Procellarum (Ocean of Storms), located in the northwest region of the Moon’s near side. This area contains geological units around 1.21 billion years old, compared to the Apollo samples that were between 3.1 and 4.4 billion years old.

Credits: China lunar Exploration Program

The European Space Agency(ESA) supports the Chang’e 5 mission by providing tracking via EAS’s Kourou Station, located in French Guiana. ESA will track the spacecraft during the launch and landing phases while providing on-call backup for China’s ground stations throughout the mission. The ascent vehicle will make an automatic rendezvous and docking with an orbiter that would transfer the samples into a sample-return capsule for their delivery to Earth. The orbiter will begin the roughly 4.5-day trip back to Earth and release the reentry capsule just before arrival. If all goes according to plan the reentry capsule will perform a skip reentry to bounce off the atmosphere once before reentering.

Sometimes you feel like the moon…

You are the moon

and I look up to the sky

finding you always next to me

You speak less but your voice

feel like a dream,

one can hardly forget

You don't know much

but still, share stories with the bitterness of reality

Is it just me or the clouds move

when we walk past each other..

Tentacle from the deep, a first reach into the Edgemax environment
By: Erik Emmerfors
Tags: Beginners Guide, Network, Ubiquiti

My modest hardware setup

My setup for the Edgemax environment, is done on MacOS. The unifi controller for the Unifi access point in my setup will be run in a docker container on a Synology DS720+. NOTE! You can use the local software controller for your specific OS to configure the access point.

And for the record, I have no clue why I did this. “curious” I guess.

| Shopping list --------------------------------------------------|

| Edgerouter X | ER-X | Router |

| Edgeswitch 8 | ES-8-150W | Switch |

| Unifi AP Pro HD | UAP-AC-PRO | Access point |

| Synology DS720+ | DiskStation DS720+ | Network attached storage |

Set a static IP via CLI

Find your ethernet interface you need to configure with a static IP. In this example, my device is ”USB 10/100/1000 LAN” (A ehternet card as a usb dongle). This can differ depending on what you have available.

networksetup -listnetworkserviceorder

Example output when you run the command

2. Configure your device with a static IP address. In this example I will be using the IP “192.168.1.100”.

sudo networksetup -setmanual "USB 10/100/1000 LAN" 192.168.1.100 255.255.255.0

(Optional) Configure via GUI

Open Network application in System Preferences in MacOS. Select the device, in my case ”USB 10/100/1000 LAN” and enter 192.168.1.100 as IP and enter the subnet mask 255.255.255.0.

Configure static IP, via GUI

3. Open a web browser and enter “http://192.168.1.1" in the address field

4. Enter the default login credentials for the Edgerouter X, “Username” is ”ubnt” and “Password” is ”ubnt”

Voila! You are now logged into EdgeOS of your Edgerouter in your web browser. Awesome!

Configure the Edgerouter with a basic configuration

Select the ”Wizards” tab in the web gui of EdgeOS. 🧙 On the left side panel, select ”WAN+2LAN” setup wizard Select “DHCP” option to obtain network settings from your Internet Service Provider. NOTE! On my Edgerouter X it was set to interface “eth1”. I do not know if this is different on the different Edgerouter models. Expand the “LAN ports” section by clicking on “configure this section”. It already comes prefilled with LAN IP 192.168.2.1 and subnet 255.255.255.0 and enabled DHCP on my Edgerouter. Click “Apply” to start the wizard configuration. This will configure your Edgerouter X with a basic configuration to access the internet.

When the message next to the “Apply” button, “The configuration has been applied successfully” in green appears. Then the wizard has configured your router successfully.

6. Restart your router

7. Go back to your terminal, to configure your LAN adapter with a dynamic IP address to retrieve an IP from the DHCP client on your router.

sudo networksetup -setdhcp "USB 10/100/1000 LAN"

8. Connect an ethernet cable from your computer to your LAN port, on my Edgerouter X I used port “eth3” as a LAN port

You will now have internet access for your Edgerouter X, Awesome!

Softmax Classifier for dummies (like me)
By: Gautam Sharma
Tags: Machine Learning, Cpp, Beginners Guide, Softmax, Deep Learning

Let’s say we are classifying on the base of face features and let x axis denote that. Now assume we have a linear classifier of the form y = f(x). We set a threshold of 10 such that if y>10 we say that the input features x belong to a dog otherwise it is a cat.

I would not go into the details of how f() in implemented. For the time being just assume it to be a black box. Although our linear classifier is working perfectly we will encounter a problem pretty soon.

What if I ask that how confident are you about the prediction?

The short answer will be that it is not straight forward to answer that question since we are not dealing with probabilities. We are dealing with raw continuous values.

Enter Probability

Now since it’s clear that we have to introduce probability we would need to figure out a way to convert our raw values to probabilities.

Given a distribution what’s the best way to convert it into a probability distribution?

For dummies like me the best way is to sum all the enteries and divide individual enteries by the sum.

Probability formula

If you are able to understand this then you have understood the crux of the material.

The probability of the class defined by a softmax classifier is as follows:

Softmax classifier

Observe the similarity between the above formula and the probability formula. Both are very similar and just differ in the exponential term.

y_i represents the class like dog or cat.

Image I

Let’s say the we have a 64x64 image I which when passed through our function f(I) gives two class outputs of [5,19].

We know that since y>10 the image must be of a dog. Now let’s find how confident our classifier is:

Our classifier almost certain that this is a photo of a dog. This is how a softmax classifier works.
HOW TO START JOURNAL WRITING
Tags: Journaling, Writing, Tips, Beginners Guide

If we talk about self-improvement then it will be mandatory for us to mention journaling. It is the most important step that we all should take for better mental health.

As we all know how important this habit is. But, some of us are confused that how should we start writing a journal. Well,it’s not a rocket science, I have some tips for you guys so that you can start writing your own journal.

Choose your Tool

You can start writing in a journal with a pen or pencil or you can write in your laptop. Anything in which you are comfortable. I personally think that writing in a journal is way more helpful as it boosts your brain’s cognition and development and it feels more personal.

What to write in a journal

There are so many things from you can start writing your journal.

.write your thoughts: you can write what are you thinking, what are you feeling and what are the things that you want to talk about, the things that are bothering you for so long, just write it down and dump your thoughts in a journal.

.your daily activity: you can write about your daily activity,what you’ve done in a day or in a previous day.

.things you are grateful for in life: you can write a list of things that you are thankful for. At least write three things everyday to stay humble.

.your goals: write your long term goals and little steps to take daily towards your goals.

.your to-do list: if you’re writing your journal in morning so you can write things you have to do on that day and if you’re writing it at night so you can plan your next day.

Set your time

choose your time in a day to write a journal so that it can become a habit or you can write whenever you feel like doing it. It’s up to you.

One thing to keep in mind that your journal is your safe space. no matter what language you’re using, what words you’re using, what are you writing, nobody is here to judge so just feel free to write whatever you want.
Top 4 vscode shortcuts you need to know.
Tags: Coding, Beginners Guide, Vscode, Tips And Tricks, Programming

Here are the top 4 shortcuts

4. File switching shortcut

This helps you to switch between files in your current project while coding.

This however saves lots of time instead of going to the file menu on the side bar and clicking the files all the way.

Here is the shortcut

Control + p ( on windows)

Command + p ( on Mac )

Then you can type in the name of the file….. even its just the first 2 letters of the file name

A dropdown would appear and then you can click on the file.

Just a bonus tip!

If you want to switch between the two recently used files in your current project, use this:

Control + p + p ( on windows)

Command + p + p ( on Mac )

Once you press the keys, leave it immediately for it to take its effect.

3. Commenting a block of code

It is quite frustrating to remember each and every comment signs for different types of languages.

Sometimes, most people even copy the comment signs from somewhere before they are able to use that functionality....... Myself included….well that was then.

To use this shortcut, you have to highlight or select the line of code or block of code you want to comment.

So after selecting it , use this shortcut;

Control + / (on windows)

Command + / ( on Mac )

Relax!

You don’t have to worry about specifying the language.

It does it automatically for you due to its immense intelligence.

That’s awesome right?!

Check out this article!

It would be of great help.

Stay tuned for Number 1🔥😉

2. Uncommenting a block of code

Well soon after using the comment shortcut, we may most times want to uncomment the code again.

Then we start the long and boring process of removing it manually........ I know..... its so annoying… gahd😤

But I have a shortcut for you that solves that.

Control + / (on windows)

Command + / (on mac)

Its literally the same shortcut as commenting.

Finally!

1. Highlighting the next instance of a word

Imagine having 200 instances of the word 'app' in your project and you want to change them all to another word.

Looking for 200 of them is a whole lot of work!

Then frustration sets in😬

Well I have this lifesaver right here.

Control + d (on windows)

Command + d (on mac)

Conclusion/ Bonus tip

All these have been major time saver for me while I code.

I can’t stress this enough.

Bonus tip

#Selecting your current line

This helps you to select the particular/current line you are on.

Control + l (on windows)

Command + l (on mac)

I hope this has been helpful to you.

SMASH that clap button if you got value from this and help share this value to one person out there who needs it.

You can follow me, signing yourself up for more value packed content.

So do you feel relieved?

Thank you for your time!

As always I would see you in the next article.

Agbejule Kehinde Favour.

Peace y’all!

Novel introduction to git

Remotes

As mentioned earlier there also exists remote repositories to share your code with others and to collaborate on projects. They function the same way as local repositories but are hosted at servers, usually services like GitHub. They also have branches which can be “linked” to your local branches. How this works is explained later. First you are going to need to create a new repository at one of this services of your choice. After that you are going to add this remote repository to your local one. For that you need the URL of your remote repository. Often they are protected with some kind of identification, either an user and password or an ssh-key. You are going to need that later.

git remote add origin <URL>

This command tells git to add a new remote with the name origin that can be accessed with the provided URL. Now we are going to upload our master branch to the remote repository. Your hosting-service may ask you for your identification.

git push origin master

This is going to create a new remote branch named origin/master, upload all the commits in the master branch to the remote repository and tell your local branch master to track this remote branch. Remote branches have local copies on your device that are updated when calling fetch. When you run status you are now going to be able to see if your branch master is ahead or behind your local copy of origin/master.

git fetch origin #origin can be omitted since it's the default remote

git pull origin master #= git fetch origin & git merge origin/master

Git fetch downloads all the new data from the remote branches to your local copies of them. Pulling a branch means fetching the new data from the remote and merging it into your active branch. If you haven’t worked on this branch since the last time you pushed or pulled it, the merging is simply going to advance your branch to the commit origin/<branch_name> is currently at. This is known as fast-forward. If you have local commits that were not pushed the merge is going to create a new commit with the merged version. Don’t forget to resolve merge conflicts if any occurred. If your code is ready for sharing push the new commit so that everyone works with the same code.

I can’t end this section without telling you about cloning. Often you find yourself joining an already existing project that you want to download to your device and to work on. In that case your best option is to clone that repository.

git clone <URL>

This is going to create a folder with the name of the repository and inside that folder initialize a new local repository and pull the remote branches. Since you don’t need to set up the remote manually and all the branches are tracked automatically it is the easiest way to initialize a project: create a new empty remote repository and then clone it to your device.

Workout plans for Beginners
Tags: Beginners Workout, Beginners Guide, Workout Schedules, Workout Routines, Plank Workout

Cardio workout plan for Beginners

Cardio activities include brisk cycling, walking, swimming, and running. Cardio machines include the treadmill, stationary cycle, elliptical trainer, ski machine, stair-stepper, and rowing machine.

Complete each segment of the workout, setting speed, incline, resistance, or ramps to match the suggested perceived exertion levels. this is often very subjective and it’s going to take you a couple of workouts to match how you are feeling with how hard you’re working. Your baseline level should feel harder than your warm-up, taking you merely out of your temperature.

confine mind that your settings may change as you get deeper into the workout and begin to urge tired. The idea is to hunt out your baseline wherever it’s going to be, albeit you’ve to scale back your speed, incline, resistance, etc.

Change the workout as required to suit your fitness level. hamper or stop the workout if you are feeling any dizziness, pain, or shortness of breath.
Blogging is a must for Beginner Coders
By: Aditya Singh
Tags: Codding, Beginners Guide

If you have just begun your coding journey then it is really important for you to start your own blogging channel and start writing as I too fall in this category so I’ll walk you through that why it is so important to do so…

Preparing a Timeline

As you continue and learn stuff it gets important to keep track of everything and your journey too and blogging your steps and all the things that you learn will create a timeline for you and for others also who start as a beginner.

Getting Feedbacks

When you write about your journey and your learnings as you go forward then people can see the work you are doing and can give their experienced input to you as well as can guide you which is very helpful for a beginner to get the right advice from the experienced people.

Expand your Knowledge

when you write about something you learned especially code then you understand it better as you present its theory and working in your blog which helps you to get more fluent in your skill.

Building a way For Others

I’m sure when you started coding you have read tons of articles but none give you a clear perspective on things as they are mostly written by big media houses but as a beginner yourself you know the mistakes you made and the things which are good so you can guide others who are just a step behind you and have just started or are thinking to start can get a lot of help through your blogs.

Building an Audience

When you start from the very beginning you connect with people more as you start your journey on a blank paper which presents an opportunity for others to learn and grow & with this you make an audience for yourself which is a huge pro in this digital age.

So as I too move forward I’ll be updating everyone about my journey. till then Stay Tuned!
Q#10: Picking a survey group

You work for a large hardware company (one that manufactures watches, computers, and phones) and you’re trying to understand user sentiment towards the company’s brand and the products. You decide to send out a survey to a random set of users across different products.

Can you create a query that samples across the different product offerings? The output of your query should be user_id and group (e.g. the sampling group the user belongs to). Your team will use this output to distribute the survey.

You have a table with all users and their registered devices. The schema of the table is below:

Table: user_devices

Answer:

This question tests your understanding of the SQL (Structured Query Language) architecture, the go to tool for programmers who want to retrieve information from large databases.

The typical pattern in SQL is to SELECT the columns of interest FROM the table/database name and then condition it using the WHERE clause. (Note: SQL statements and clauses do NOT need to be capitalized but it is usually done so by convention, the “;” is necessary to end your query as it is whitespace indifferent)

# Example

SELECT user_id FROM user_devices;

Here we want to query a random subsample of users and we can do that with the more advanced SQL statements, such as TOP *N which allows us to select how many rows we want and ORDER BY Rand(), implementing our psuedorandom pick.

3 Small Reminders to Keep Your Writing Journey on Track
By: Anggun Bawi
Tags: Writing, This Happened To Me, Beginners Guide, Writing Advice, Self

If you haven’t noticed, here on Medium, you’ll see more and more people sharing their wins and how much they make each month.

Yes, it’s all great. I’m not against those types of stories. Some of them have successfully inspired me too.

But I also want to know the boring day to day writing activity writers are facing. Where’s the story about the days where the words just don’t flow? Do they drag themselves from bed after a long day and just write? I seriously want to know!

So while we are waiting for those articles to be written, I found these 3 small reminders alongside the top tips from the book “Element of Writing” by William Strunk Jr. has helped me stay on track, and hopefully, they can help you too.

1. You Aren’t Competing with Anyone

“Your only contest is with yourself.”

Classic and easier said than done, right? But it’s true. It took me a while to literally grasp the meaning and apply it in my writing journey.

The truth is, every writer has a different start, and even if we write in the same month and publish the same amount of articles, it doesn’t guarantee that the results will be the same because we aren’t.

So instead of letting yourself down by reading too much of ‘how much I make in medium’ articles, close the tabs, put your head down and focus on your own craft.

2. Shorten Your Paragraph

“Short paragraphs put air around what you write and Make it look inviting”

How many times you’ve read a story with long paragraphs only to feel tired in the middle and end up not finishing it? I know I’ve experienced it quite a lot.

As a writer, it’s important to keep your paragraph short with no more than 3 sentences. By doing this, we can also focus more on paragraph units instead of sentences.

3. Put More Time into Rewriting

“Clear writing is the result of a lot of tinkering.”

If you aren’t a fan of the editing process, it’s very understandable. It’s not an easy thing to do, I admit.

However, William Strunk, in his book, highlighted the importance of rewriting your articles. You may want to think it’s a perfect craft in the first shot, but the fact is, our mind can be messy sometimes, and we don’t always say what’s in our mind.

So sleeping it out and going back at it the next day is always the best thing you could possibly do.
Nice to Know Things as A Beginner Developer
Tags: Beginner Developers, Beginners Guide, Life Lessons, Tips, Programming

Coding

Here are some tips that I would like to share with all beginner developers and maybe for those who are interested to become one.

There’s no such thing as a do-it-all programming language. Each language has its pluses and minuses. Learn to understand the pluses and minuses of each languages. Its always a good thing to know a lot of languages but really make sure that you have one language that you are comfortable with and know in depth. Programming is really fun and interesting with so many languages to learn but remember to go at your own pace. A programmer/developer burnout is a real thing. I have met a couple of people who suffered from burnout and ultimately it killed their passion and interest in coding. Learn to recognize it and take a long break if you have too. Be open-minded in programming and learn to accept people’s feedbacks even if it is a harsh one. Treat it as a learning process. Often time, this is the most effective way to grow and be better. Just because you received a harsh feedback on your work, it does not mean that you should do the same to other people. Be kind, especially when you have collect years of experience and giving feedbacks to your junior devs. Imposter syndrome is a real thing. If this is your first time hearing it, its your constant feeling of not being good enough in doing your work. Depending on how you handle it, it can have a severe effects. Learn how to control it or better yet, embrace it. There will always be other people who are better at whatever you are doing or whatever programming language that you know. Be humble. Take several breaks during your coding session or work session. Being a young programmer with mild to severe backache is not a good thing. Stretch during breaks if you have too or better yet, learn yoga. Having a complex programming problem that you just can’t solve? Well, sit back and clear your mind. The simplest solution is almost always the best solution. Never stop learning. If you start to feel comfortable at one language, its time to find a new one to add to your arsenal. Last but not least, if you learn something new? Share it with other people.

Python basics: fstrings

Python basics: fstrings

In basic string methods, we went about ways to wrangle the types of string data and how (+ and ,) operators. In an ideal situation, string-ifying doesn’t have to be merely mechanical process. This snippet will show how nested data structures go better with f-string functions.

Content

str.format()

what f-strings can do

dict lists

conclusion

str.format() — plain and simple

A familiar approach to fill out string data is with plain formatting. The str.format(strvalue1, strvalue2) specify values as arguments. Formatting strings makes placeholder values more flexible while keeping string values fixed.

>>>model_no = “v99”

>>>quantity = 2

>>>price = 15 >>>orders = “the total is {} for {} of {}”

>>>orders.format(price, quantity, model_no) 'the total is 15 for 2 of v99'

With inline function you can apply indexing( n ) and round off float values: {n:decimalpoint}

#with indexing and rounding >>>total = quantity * price >>>orders = orders = f"the total for {1} order of model number {0} for {2} each is {3:.2f}"

>>>orders.format(model_no, quantity, price, total) 'the total for 1 order of model number 0 for 2 each is 3.00'

Here we would like to place the separate total value as a arithmetic sum unique to our string problem, this new argument is also more arbitrary. In an f-string this would be convenient as an inline function.

What f-strings can do

F-strings or ‘ formatted string literals’ are essentially embedded strings with delimiters {}. The delimiters or curly brackets can have python expressions and replacement fields. Here’s a simple f-string which returns an inline arithmetic sum:

x = 2

y = 3

f'2 times 3 is {x * y} and not {x ** (y)}' '2 times 3 is 6 and not 8'

To replicate the previous code, I’ve combined indexing with inline calculation (quantity * price) to keep my values moving:

>>>orders = f"the total for {quantity} orders of model number {model_no} for {price} each is: {(quantity * price):.2f} dollars"

>>>orders 'the total for 2 orders of model number v99 for 15 each is: 30.00 dollars'

Dict list

Dictionaries are lists that basically store key:value pairs. Here, the values are updateable separately:

#this dict car = {

“brand”: “Ford”,

“model”: “Mustang”,

“year”: 1964

} #this dict item = {

“brand”: “no brand”,

“model”: “v99”,

}

For example, to fetch ‘ model ’ type from the ‘ car ’ and ‘ item ’ dict separately,

f”fetching how many {item[‘model’]} units from {car['model']}”

Conclusion

String operators are a quick and dirty way to join values and formatting provides a lot of inline Python for built-in flexibility. Indexing values are quicker but arbitrary. In a dict format, we see how unordered lists are fixed and more convenient to fetch when in key:value pairs.

Hope this gives a brief prelude to my next articles on python basics.
EZ-PZ First Django Website
By: Muhammad Nashrulloh
Tags: Python Programming, First Project, Django Framework, Beginners Guide, Tutorial

Django is a framework that is currently very popular in building websites with the python base language. Base on this page https://ncube.com/blog/top-python-web-frameworks-2020 , Django is on the top popular framework.

If you want to do website development with a super-fast monolithic architecture, easy configuration and all the powerful plugins. Then Django is the right choice.

Let’s start website development with Django !!!

Preparing The Environment

What you need to start with Django:

OS (I’m using Windows but Mac or Linux is good) Python 3.x.x

py -V

If you have no idea how to install python, Google it!

3. Virtualenv to isolating our website development

pip install virtualenv

Type that in your command line, then let PIP install it for you.

If you finish installing virtualenv, then we can make isolated virtualenv.

virtualenv [envname]

ex:

virtualenv medium-django

When you run (yellow part), you just make isolated environment for development.

4. Text Editor [vs code, sublime, etc]/ IDE [pycharm, Net Beans etc]

Pick your favourite text editor or IDE, I choose VSCode.

5. Activate Your virtualenv

Make sure you are in the directory we have been created.

.\Scripts\activate

As you can see, there is a name of our directory in the brackets. Which means we have successfully activated our virtualenv. 🍻

6. Install django

pip install django

If you see the yellow warning below, you can ignore it.

Once you install Django, you can make many projects inside your virtualenv. Why just inside virtualenv? Because as i said before, this is an isolated environment. So our development doesn't bother other projects.

Use this command to check your django installation:

pip list

at this moment, we are doing it right 😃.

7. Create First Project

django-admin startproject [projectname]

ex:

django-admin startproject mydjangoblog

As you can see, there is directory name “mydjangoblog”.

The folder "mydjangoblog" is our main directory, which we will be developing in the future

8. Run Django For The First Time

python manage.py runserver:port

ex:

python manage.py runserver

Move to main django project directory and run the command above to run it!

The port number is not mandatory, you can run the server without it then django will run with default port 8000.

open the browser and go to localhost:8000

Our django installation is success.

Congratulation!!!

Your django installation has been success, next we will make a blog inside it and configuring our database with many options database.

See you! 😃

Comment below if you have an idea to make our projects greater!
