  • Updated Flask routes to accommodate new URL patterns with course identifiers and improved error handling.
  • Debugged a 404 error in Flask for accessing exercise files, including checks for file existence and route conflicts.
  • Configured logging in Flask for better debugging and development visibility.
  • Proposed a CSS layout update to enhance web page readability and visual structure.

Achievements

  • Successfully refactored Python functions for better modularity in course management.
  • Developed a hybrid solution for exercise fetching, ensuring backward compatibility and future flexibility.
  • Enhanced frontend rendering logic with dynamic and modular structures.
  • Improved Flask routing and error handling for course-specific exercises.
  • Established a robust logging configuration in Flask for development.
