Description
Flask is a very popular Micro Framework for building dynamic Web Applications using Python. This course is meant for beginners to intermediate level programmers who wish to take their Python programming skills to the next level
Basic knowledge in Python, HTML and CSS are pre-requsites for this course. Some understanding Object Orient Concepts and databases will help, but not mandatory
This course is well-rounded and covers most aspects involved in building scalable Web Applications using Flask Framework such as Flask Blueprints, WTForms, Security, adding a robust database layer to your application that supports CRUD operations (Create, Update, Read, Delete Database Records). You'll also learn how to use Amazon S3 to store data and reference them in your projects
As we progress through the course, we will build a Online-Book-Catalog that relies on a PostgreSQL Database and allows users to register, login, logout and perform CRUD operations. We will save our code to GitHub, design and style the Application using Flask Bootstrap, use SQLAlchemy ORM to query data and finally deploy it to the web-hosting platform Heroku
Considering the practical problems involved in learning these complex and vast frameworks, I used some intuitive animations to show you exactly how the control flows from python code to the database util to the point the requested information is finally display in a web-browser
Who this course is for:
- Those who has basic knowledge of python and want building dynamic web-apps using Flask Micro-framework
