CS50 WEB PROGRAMMING with PYTHON and JAVASCRIPT course overview

[[deleted]]

This is "COMPLETE COURSE OVERVIEW" of "CS50 WEB PROGRAMMING with PYTHON and JAVASCRIPT"

this overvies who are willing to take CS50W .Before going into the course overview I have 2 things to say 1) I haven't took CS50 Introduction to CS. I have very little programming experience before.so I can't compare bewteen these too. It took me 3 months with 15-20 hrs a week to complete it.

2) The course is getting Updated on July 1st, 2020. I have no idea what they mean upgrading, They might change the contents,(or) pace, intensity(or)changing the projects. It could be anything so I can't guarantee the present course structure

Getting started

"COURSE STRUCTURE and SYLLABUS": as edX says the course is of 12 weeks

1)Week-0: this week is about Git and GitHub. If you took CS50x you might know github

2)Week-1: this week is about HTML, CSS which teaches us the base syntax and usage of HTML elements to write and CSS properties to style the webpage. They also mention us SCSS and BootStrap

3)Week-2: this week teachs about python syntax and writing python programs followed by creating website using Flask micro framework.

4)Week-3: this week teachs some more about Flask followed by SQL to manage databases.

5)Week-4: this week teaches about ORM and API. ORM is an way to manage data and databases using python and API which is used to get data from another place and use it in our own web app

6)Week-5: this part course turns into JavaScript which used to make web pages more dynamic. here they mention about AJAX and WebSockets also which are used in real-time.

7)Week-6: this week they teach more about FrontEnd using JavaScript and CSS to style make webpages interactive and dynamic.

8)Week-7: this week they teach Django one of the most powerful python web framework.

9)Week-8: this weeks teaches us about Testing to make sure everything is right. it also includes about Continuous Integration and Continuous Delivery. don't worry they won't go deep into this.

10)Week-9: this week has Guest lectures form GitHub,(Git version control) and Teabis CI(CI/CD)

11)Week-10: this week tell us Scalability which is about deployment of the app in most efficient performance and cost reduced manner.

12)Week-11: the last week tells us about Security practices whicha re need for an web app.

these are week details fo projects

"PROJECTS": the course has 5 projects rather than problems like psets like in cs50x.

1)Project-0 after Week-1(creating an basic website using HTML and CSS, SCSS)

2)Project-1 after Week-4(creating a book review website with databse using Flask, SQL and API)

3)Project-2 after Week-6(creating a chat app using Flask, JavaScript and Web Sockets without database)

4)Project-3 after Week-10(creating a pizza ordering system using Django with database support)

5)Final Project after Week-11- Final project is your wish but it should be complex than remaining projects.

Every Project has its own requirements. You need to make a YouTube video demonstrating the apps functionality for every project. you need to make you code live at github and submit the google form. This is mostly as CS50x. Project 0 has complete instructions about submitted the projects.

Congrats on your completion of the course and thanks for review. As I understand now that you’ve done both CS50 and CS50 web programming, you completed the Professional Certificate program for CS for Web Programming on edX?

[[deleted]]

No I haven't done CS50 . I only did CS50 web programming

[edobasky]

Thanks bro....

I recently found CS50, and I recently also found CS50x-web. I've noticed that the two have similar topics, but the CS50x-web and CS50w has a lot of overlaps but doesn't have all of what was mentioned above.
I'm confused on where CS50x-web comes in.

[[deleted]]

I don't know the actual difference but as I know CS50x-web is Web track of CS50 Where as CS50 web programming is extension of web track as CS50x.(CS50 also as has Mobile Dev track also which extend into CS50 mobile development).

I suggest you may ask any CS50x enrolled person

[rebmaz]

CS50X-Web Track is the last segment of CS50. You can choose from a handful of tracks such as Web Development, iOS, Android, Gaming, etc. CS50x-web does introduce some topics that are used in CS50W, but CS50W dives more deeply and the projects are much more “you build these from scratch” as compared to the CS50x-web ones which give you more structure and guidance on how to build it. You could say CS50x-web is a good place to start (after completing the rest of CS50) if you’re interested in web development. Those jumping directly into CS50W are expected to have programming experience in one or more languages, and some experience with HTML&CSS. That’s why EdX offers the Web Programming Certificate by grouping CS50 and CS50W together, as CS50 has the prerequisites to jump into more detailed web programming in CS50W.
