Description

Python is an easy to learn, powerful programming language. It’s elegant syntax and dynamic typing, together with its interpreted nature, makes it an ideal language for scripting and rapid application development. Flask is a popular Python web framework for developing web applications. If you’re a developer who wants to create powerful applications with Python and Flask, then go for this course.

This course will be your complete definitive guide for building fully functional web applications with the Python and Flask by learning all the essential skills required. You will begin with setting up the development environment. You will then learn the basic and advanced Python programming concepts for developing applications with the help of practical examples. Next, you will deep dive into the Flask framework where initially you will learn the programming techniques in Flask and then build a file sharing app, a To-do list app, and a social media application in Flask.

Contents and Overview

This training program includes 2 complete courses, carefully chosen to give you the most comprehensive training possible.

The first course, Begin Python Programming in 7 Days, begins with setting up your environment and the tools you need to start programming in Python. You will then learn about variables and operators and how to make use of them in Python programs. You will also learn all about control flow statements and loops in Python and will use them in your programs to solve your coding problems. Next, you will learn Python's data structures such as lists and dictionaries. You will able to organize in functions and save time coding by writing code that can be reused. Finally, you will learn about Python modules and how to make use of them.

The second course, Application Development with Python and Flask, will take you through Flask framework; it covers all its components and elements and how to integrate it with useful third-party libraries. You will download all you need to get started with Flask development and then delve straight into the frontend and backend development stack. You will then learn the general flow in developing a Flask application, including some extensions used by developing a simple application. You will also develop multiple applications such as To-do, social medias, and file sharing applications.

By the end of the course, you will be able to build your own web applications using Python and Flask.
