Cursor Tutorial for Beginners (AI Code Editor)

[@andyeme1109]

It's good to see you (a highly skilled programmer) encouraging people to use cursor. I've seen a lot of programmers demonizing it because they believe it will make you worse at programming. While this can be true in some cases I would say the benefits far outweigh the cons. Thanks for another good video Tim!

[@Tamilgamesandtech]

He is a highly skilled programmer so he is using it, but for beginners it's not preferred

I dived back into programming web two years ago, from a 20 year pause, and was hit with a brick wall from all the new techniques that one has to master today, to get the CSS right, make the website secure, learning a new language, how to host it in the cloud and all this. BUT the one thing i struggle with the most has been my productivity. So i switched to the paid version of Cursor a month back, and BOY, this indeed has been a great help on my productivity. But I must agree, Cursor wont do you much good if you can't code and troubleshoot to begin with. This is why THIS channel is here though... learn how to code here, THEN install Cursor... that's what I did, So Tim, THANK YOU for all the good tutorials on python/flask/html/CSS/JavaScript 😀

[@TechWithTim]

Exactly! Thanks :)

[@csabaczcsomps7655]

The chat window and apply buton is magic. I love this . And composer is true power. Thx for show these.

[@Damian-lu8sx]

I feel like Tim is that guy the companies look for. Fresh out of college with 20 years of experience under his belt 😂 seriously though, your knowledge is impressive as hell I just wanted to say

[@TechWithTim]

Appreciate it haha

[@drummermike5150]

Great video! Your comments starting at 13:20 are spot on. If you are already a coder this is a game changer for productivity. I’ve been using the pro version for a week and it is amazing. Used to use the free version of Cursor along with ClaudeAPI but using just Cursor Pro will end up being cheaper. I had to have that apply button along with Composer.

[@thowheedh]

for a fulltime developer, 20 USD is very worthy investment on Cursor IDE

[@jamespeters1617]

Asking the exact right question is crucial to success in large backends that are cross communicating. Also transferring from flask to Django can help because the ai will know what page your working on have a better understanding on how to run the view. Demo is almost ready. Have it working, but issues with the server stuff. Learning fast thanks to this channel

[@abdulmobinkarimi6846]

for people like me who hate front-end stuff like html or css it's a great tool (just generate everything using this)

[@anubisai]

Yip and u can build a full stack with it easy too

[@cuszco]

The composer looks really interesting, but otherwise it looks very similar to just using Copilot in VSCode. Or am I missing something? Edit: I was missing the image to code thingy. Pretty cool, but I doubt I get much use out of that myself. Thanks for this overview. I will be keeping an eye on Cursor, but for now I don't see a reason for me to switch yet.

[@rincondepython]

What model does Cursor use for generate code? Gpt or something similar? It's free or there's limited? Great video!

[@Fafnir149]

Its have openai model and claude model, its free but limited on 50/month but $20/month its unlimited i thinks it the best price for make the app from scratch

[@johnsilvester4367]

Is Cursor useful for anything other than generating web pages. every tutorial I have seen winds up making some kind of web app. I am looking to create programmes that take data from multiple sources and manipulating that data to derive useful infomation. I am talking about tabulated data from various API endpoints, or should I stick to speadsheets.

[@jana171]

I use a lot of API endpoints, and one thing cursor can do is take the API documentation directly from API vendors homepage, and implement it in your code, say if you want a local python program with pydantic basemodels, numpy numerical operations or pandas for some data manipulation... Cursor will sort out alot of that for you. Basically, if you can do it in vscode, you also can in cursor. Hope this helped.

[@kingofartsofficial4431]

It's great Tim Bro

[@jamespeters1617]

Thanks tim

[@gecsus]

Would have been nice if you had added a link for the download site. There are far too many and some could be fake or nefarious.

[@kwanyise7807]

Hey Tim, can I please design a python project and show us how u get all the functions in the program 🙏

[@cuszco]

I think he made that video about 9346 times already. Browse his channel ;)

[@xgamerunknown6414]

I have been working with angelscript for amnesia the dark descent for quite a while. Is c++ similar to that?

[@Naruto-m1z]

What is the best code editor for python??👇👇

[@nachoeigu]

How safe is in terms of data leaks?

[@forbidden_lion]

I ditched Cursor for Continue Dev + Supermaven + Cline. Much better and you have the full control. Cursor forked VS Code and returned nothing in return. Fork Cursor.

[@edentube4826]

Im only familiar & use Cline. if u dont mind why use those 3, what's the +/-?

[@forbidden_lion]

@@edentube4826 Continue Dev for chat, Supermaven for auto complete and Cline for Composer thing although I don't use cline at all.

[@anubisai]

You can learn to code quickly with cursor. I recommend beginner coders use it. Don't waste your time in tutorial hell. Just start building with this and learn as you go.

[@DhruvaDhruva-g6u]

i'm using this cursor i like all the features but i want to turn off the code predictions because it predicts the code before i write so i want to turn it off but i can't i tried many ways, anyone help me to turn it only that feature

[@wadonderacollins9726]

what do you use or did for it to generate the autocomplete codes on cursor?

[@Aliaseita]

Great

[@akshayk467]

Is it possible to save those composer chats? I've tried but havent found anything. maybe save it in a markdown files or something similar. I see sometimes the history gets deleted when i close and open the cursor app on my mac.

[@jibrilrichter2852]

So basically we are f’ed as software engineers? 😂

[@cinematicRecapss]

how is this not avaliable for linux

[@SebastiandAnconia]

how do you install this on linux?

all of these videos about Cursor on youtube look marketing ads

It is better to not use AI helpers in coding as beginners because we won’t learn much, it is better to avoid such tools

True

It's beginners tutorial for Cursor, not for coding.
