Hello, everyone, and welcome to our course overview lecture, as well as our course success lecture,
which is basically geared to giving you the best course thinking experience possible to make sure you
are successful during the taking of the course.
As a quick favor to me, please don't skip this lecture as we do cover a lot of useful material and
it will be pretty brief.
So we're going to talk about useful tips for going through the course, how to get help during the course,
where to find the course files and how to use the student chat channel.
So let's talk about some useful tips while you're actually taking the course.
Keep in mind, the video player settings can actually be used to speed up or slow down the videos.
You should see an icon at the bottom of the video player in order to speed up or slow down.
You'll also probably want to make sure to view the actual videos and 10 quality.
We upload all our videos and 10 ATP.
But sometimes the automatic buffering will actually make it to a lower quality.
So just keep that in mind, you want to set it to the highest quality.
Also, you can use the Udemy app to download videos, of course lectures, and to make sure to use the
Q&A forums.
There's lots of previous discussion available there.
Speaking of which, let's talk about getting help in this course.
Now, if you have a platform level issue, these are things like maybe your video playback has issues
where you have audio issues, or maybe you have more questions about certification after completing
the course or you have an issue of payment.
Those are actually all platform level issues that Udemy is best equipped to help you with, and you
can email them at support Udemy dot com.
Or you can actually check out the support page on Udemy.
You can do a Google search for Udemy support, and they have ways of actually directly entering tickets
there.
Now, let's talk about how to get help with the actual course content.
Before posting to the question and answer forums that we have inside the course, please make sure to
check for typos in your code.
It's super easy to actually make a typo mistake.
I do it myself all the time.
So you want to make sure that you use our provided files that double check for this.
And during the course, I'm actually going to show you some common typos and errors to try to equip
you to debug your own software issues.
So things you want to do is double check against the course notes.
Maybe do a quick Google or Stack Overflow search given your air code.
That's actually probably the fastest way to fix your own issue.
They just do a Google search for the error message you get back.
Pretty much the first hip is always going to have the answer.
Then you want to do a search for the Q&A in the course.
They want to check out the previous fake lecture and you can always submit and you question in the Q&A
forums, please.
When you're submitting a new question, give us details on what you've tried, as well as a screenshot
of the error or your code.
And then just make sure to share the full error message, don't just share something like, Hey, I
got an error when I try to run this or this doesn't work, give as much detail and information as possible
if there's really not enough information to help you out.
We're going to wait until you post enough information before replying in the Q&A forum, so please keep
that in mind.
Also, please keep in mind that we cannot help with your personal homework or projects outside of the
course material.
However, if you do want some sort of interactivity based for your own personal projects using Django,
you can actually use art this court channel for that.
It's a great place to share your questions on your personal projects.
You can use the link in the very first lecture of the course, which is the welcome message to join
our Discord server.
And this automated welcome message also includes a link to a YouTube video describing how to use and
log into the server.
And you can also check your automated messages on Udemy to find that welcome message.
So if you go to either the first lecture and the entire course, it's a text lecture.
We have the link in that if a queue or you can check out your automated welcome message in order to
join the discord, you will need to make an account with this court.
It's totally free, and then you'll just join our server.
Remember the purpose of this, this court channel is to connect with other students and be able to have
a conversation there about your own personal projects or homework questions, that sort of thing.
Technical questions related to, of course, material are still probably best suited for the Q&A forums.
Now, resource links to the files can be found in the FGCU lecture, that's actually the previous lecture.
We provide all the files use inside of a zip file, and that resource folder is going to be a little
blue icon, sometimes inside the actual lecture title you can see on the right hand side.
We're also going to discuss this more in the actual set up detail and installation lecture.
So really, just hold on on downloading anything until you actually get to the Visual Studio code installation
and set up lecture that will have the resource in order to download the zip file.
Then you just unzip it and you have all the notes.
And with that, I want to give a huge thank you for enrolling in this course.
I can't wait to get started in teaching you everything you need to know to become a full stack Django
web developer.
I'll see you later.
