Intro To Flask Web Development

Build your first webpage with Flask by creating a hello.py app, defining a root route, and running a local development server for live updates.

Render html templates with Flask by creating a templates folder, adding index.html, and returning render_template('index.html') from an index function to serve a home page.

Learn how to render Python data in web pages with Jinja templating in Flask, passing variables and using if-else logic and loops with curly braces.

Apply basic logic in templates using ginger syntax with if/else statements and variables, rendering messages like hello, John or hello there based on name checks.

Learn to use for loops in Flask templates to iterate over a Python list and render each item as a bullet or numbered list. Reference items with zero-based indexing.

Create an about page in Flask by adding a route and a view function, then render the about.html template to display a simple page connected to the site.

Add navigation between a two-page flask site by replacing plain html links with the flask url_for tag, ensuring automatic updates when routes change.

Learn how to extend a base template in Flask using Jinja blocks to share a nav bar and footer across pages, so a single update reflects on all pages.

Learn how to download, unzip, and set up a free HTML resume template using Start Bootstrap, and tailor assets and images for a Flask web development project.

Set up and organize static and templates directories in a Flask project, move template and asset files, and troubleshoot CSS loading to ensure styles render after linking static resources.

Learn how to add and customize Font Awesome icons in HTML templates, including social icons, by copying icon code and linking to your profiles.

Customize the webpage by editing a template's text fields—title, address, phone, and email—without needing HTML knowledge. Prepare your content for a live site in the next video.

Set up version control with git to track changes in your Flask project, initialize a repository, add files, commit, and push to GitHub for online hosting.

Learn how to set up a GitHub account, push code to public or private repositories, and securely connect your computer to GitHub using an ssh key and public key authentication.

Track project history with commits, configure a .gitignore to exclude the virtual environment, and push changes to GitHub while removing the virtual directory.

Learn to host a Flask app on Heroku using the free tier. Understand pricing, horsepower options, and when to upgrade as traffic grows, including free SSL.

Install the Heroku tool belt to connect your terminal to Heroku via the command line interface, restart the terminal, and verify the setup before pushing code in the next video.

Learn to deploy a Flask app on Heroku by replacing the development server with a production web server, creating a Procfile, and generating a correct requirements.txt via pip freeze.

Push a Flask app to Heroku, create and rename the app, and push via git while monitoring deployment logs. Configure requirements.txt and a proc file, and explore domain options.

Connect a custom domain to your Heroku app by adding the domain in app settings and pointing it from your registrar with a CNAME record.
