microblog VS missing-semester

In this blog, we're going to address the "on any website" part of a Search Solution. Or at least - propose a starting point for it. There are many great tutorials out there for a deep dive on Flask - one of the best from my colleague Miguel.

If you'd like to deploy a web app, Flask is your best friend. It's very user friendly and there's a lot of great tutorials online. The only thing you'd need other than Python knowledge is some basic understanding of HTML/CSS and Jinja notation for variables, both of which are pretty intuitive to learn. Good luck!

I can't speak highly enough of Miguel Grinberg's work with Python/Flask (https://blog.miguelgrinberg.com/post/the-flask-mega-tutorial...) and the community he's created around it, for both beginners and advanced folks.

Racing through his mega tutorial was a great refresher for me on the fundamentals, and it's easy to plug in computer vision & related libraries/extensions/packages.

Use miguel grinberg’s tutorial https://blog.miguelgrinberg.com/post/the-flask-mega-tutorial-part-i-hello-world

I got a recommendation (from a few places) to use Miguel Grinberg's microblog series to help me get up to speed on some flask things. I'm on ch 15 with blueprints, and am running into pylint cyclic import errors, both on my app and in the actual project (https://github.com/miguelgrinberg/microblog/tree/v0.15?search=1)

In the project root directory create a folder called static with one subfolder called js and another called css. The js folder will contain all of the needed local JavaScript files while the css folder will contain all the CSS stylesheets. In the js folder create a file called index.js and in the css folder one called style.css. Just leave them empty for now. If you want to find out more about web development with Flask I suggest you try out this tutorial. Your current project structure should like this:

The missing semester of your cs education

https://missing.csail.mit.edu/

You mentioned having issues with accessory concepts so perhaps this might help: https://missing.csail.mit.edu/. There's also a chapter on git

https://missing.csail.mit.edu/ is a good way to pass the Dec-Jan break if you want to prep for CS2030S + some more general stuff.

Reflecting a little bit more I don't think it was replit's fault, per-say. But that change should have been made together with a larger adjustment to the program. Like adding a class/unit in the style of [the missing semester](https://missing.csail.mit.edu/) to make sure people came away with a good range of intuitions.

From MJD's post: I think CS curricula should have a class that focuses specifically on these issues, on the matter of how do you actually write software?

But they never do.

FWIW, MIT's "The Missing Semester of Your CS Education" attempts to deal with this lack, though, even there, it's an unofficial course taught between terms, during MIT's IAP -- Independent Activities Period[1] -- and not an actual CS course.

Link to the "missing semester of your CS degree" course by MIT.

Rightly called The Missing Semester (of Your CS Education), this class from MIT will teach you how to use some of the tools that are fundamental to the software engineering ecosystem. From shell scripting to the fundamentals of information security—spanning around 12 lectures—you can add a bunch of practical skills to your toolbox.
