Alans Classrooms

Of course trying to use the ChatGPT API is causing me to install a bunch of stuff. This is one of them. I guess it makes sense that the 'Python App' needed to be installed on my computer. That is a bit different than Visual Studio 2022 which includes all the different programming languages within the software (or I guess I should say App these days..., who knows what things are called anymore).

Fortunately, in the bottom right hand corner there is a blue button that says 'Install', and also 'Show Recommendations'. Install sounded simpler, so I went with that one.

The Microsoft Store Launched with Python 3.11 At-The-Ready

I clicked the Get Button and it started Downloading.

I Closed Visual Studio Code and Restarted

The Python Release Notes loaded on the restart, as the default checkbox is for "Show release notes after an update". One thing that caught my eye was "Fast API tutorial" - Learn about developing Python FastAPI apps with VS Code.

I clicked that and wow, I think I am at the top of an iceberg looking down. This New World is SO BIG, and there is so much to learn...

Press Play

Now when I pressed the 'Play Button' in the upper left hand corner, the Python Code ran on the Terminal at the bottom of the screen.

Now For Some HTML

I am starting to figure this out. So I entered to HTML code, and then had to load an Extension called 'Live Preview' from Microsoft.

Here is the HTML Live Preview

This 'Book' Icon or Button is in the upper right hand corner to show you the preview.

Java Extension for Java Development

I was not able to run the Java Code until I installed the 'Extension Pack for Java' from Microsoft. This had 22,823,121 downloads. That is just crazy!

The Tutorial I Watched

Overall this worked out okay, as I was able to use some of my previous knowledge to figure stuff out and actually get some sample code running in Javascript, Python, and HTML.
