| # Free PostgreSQL Course, VSCode Profiles & Fullstack Fiesta | ||
|
|
||
| Welcome to Codú Weekly! | ||
|
|
||
| This week, I stumbled upon a game-changing feature in Visual Studio Code that I can't wait to share with you. If you're like me, juggling multiple projects or switching between different development environments, you're going to love this: VS Code Profiles! | ||
|
|
||
| I created different profiles streams, creating tutorials and different tech stacks. You can have different extensions, themes and settings. | ||
|
|
||
| Here's a quick rundown on how to use them: | ||
|
|
||
| 1. Access Profiles: Click on the gear icon in the lower-left corner of VS Code and select "Profiles". | ||
| 2. Create a New Profile: Choose "Create Profile" and give it a name (e.g., "Python Dev", "Web Frontend", "Data Science"). | ||
| 3. Customize Your Profile: Install extensions, set up your preferred color theme, adjust settings, and configure your workspace to your liking. | ||
| 4. Switch Between Profiles: Use the gear icon or the command palette (Ctrl+Shift+P or Cmd+Shift+P) and type "Switch Profile" to quickly change your setup. | ||
| 5. Export and Share: You can even export your profiles to share with team members or use across different machines! | ||
|
|
||
| This feature has been a total productivity booster for me. No more toggling settings or enabling/disabling extensions when switching contexts. With profiles, I can hop from my Python data analysis environment to my JavaScript web dev setup in seconds. | ||

Great introduction, minor typo to fix
The introduction effectively highlights the VS Code Profiles feature and provides a clear, step-by-step guide. However, there's a small typo to address:
In line 9, change "different profiles streams" to "different profile streams".
Overall, this section is well-structured and informative, providing valuable insights into the VS Code Profiles feature.
| ## Free PostgreSQL Course | ||
|
|
||
| PostgreSQL is one of the most verstaile and useful databases on the market. I think it's a tool all developers should know because it can solve nearly every problem you throw at it. | ||
|
|
||
| I've just finished an entire series which you can read for free to learn SQL and PostgreSQL: | ||

Comprehensive PostgreSQL course section, minor improvements needed
This section provides valuable content with a comprehensive list of PostgreSQL and SQL articles. However, there are two points to address:
-
There's a typo in line 23: "verstaile" should be "versatile".
-
Consider removing the note about needed edits in line 38 ("There are some edits I still need to make to ensure it flows well but the main content shouldn't update too much.") as it might not be necessary in the final newsletter.
Overall, this section offers great value to readers interested in learning PostgreSQL and SQL.

Engaging event announcement, date inconsistency to resolve
The "Fullstack Fiesta" event announcement is well-written and engaging. However, there's an important inconsistency to address:
The date mentioned in line 46 (Friday, Sep 21, 2024) is incorrect. September 21, 2024, is actually a Saturday. Please verify the correct date and day of the week for the event.
Apart from the date issue, the event description is appealing and effectively communicates the casual and social nature of the gathering.

| Garfield's writing style is super engaging - he manages to make the history of fonts feel like gossip. You'll find yourself chuckling at the quirky anecdotes and going "No way!" at the drama behind some of the most famous typefaces. I know... Who would have guessed that fonts would bring drama? | ||

Overall, an excellent and informative newsletter with minor issues to address
This newsletter is well-structured, informative, and engaging, covering a range of topics that would be of interest to developers. The content is generally of high quality and provides significant value to the readers.
Here's a summary of the main points to address:
- Line 9: Fix the typo "different profiles streams" to "different profile streams".
- Line 23: Correct the spelling of "verstaile" to "versatile".
- Line 46: Verify and correct the date and day of the week for the "Fullstack Fiesta" event.
- Consider removing the note about needed edits in line 38, as it might not be necessary for the final newsletter.
Once these minor issues are addressed, the newsletter will be ready for distribution. Great work on creating an informative and engaging piece of content!
