help CS50's Web Programming with Python and JavaScript FAQ
Do I need to take CS50x before CS50's Web Programming with Python and JavaScript?
CS50W assumes you are comfortable with programming basics, especially Python, HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. Many students take CS50x first because CS50W moves quickly into Django, SQL models, APIs, and front-end interactivity.
What projects do students build in CS50W?
The course has used projects such as Search, Wiki, Commerce, Mail, Network, and a final project. Those assignments push students to build real web app features with Django, JavaScript, databases, forms, authentication, and APIs.
Is CS50W more Django or more React?
CS50W spends substantial time on Django for back-end web apps, including models, views, templates, and authentication. It also covers JavaScript and front-end patterns, with React included as part of the modern web programming material.
Can CS50W help with deploying a real website?
Yes, deployment is part of the course's scope, along with databases, scalability, security, and user interfaces. It is still a course project environment, so a production Django app would need extra work around hosting, secrets, monitoring, and backups.
