Now's the time to keep coding. Now's the time not to lose the momentum you've created by building your very own application.
In this video I cover off what you're going to do from here. There's so much more to being a developer than just writing code and I cover it all off here so take some notes!

Description

Python Flask for Beginners is a course that will teach you how to write your first Python Flask web application. No fluff, just code.

The best way to learn is to learn by doing so I'll have you writing your first, basic Flask app by the second video.

Why is this important? When you code something for yourself you build momentum. When you build momentum you're more motivated than ever to push and learn more. It's seriously addictive!

Continue on and you'll learn the concepts needed to start writing your own cool Flask applications. The best part is you'll start to see how you can convert your existing CLI based scripts into functional web apps!

I do expect you to be somewhat competent in Python but don't stress if you're not an expert. Just do yourself a favour and have Python installed on your operating system.

Enough reading. Time to code.

Anyone who knows the basics of Python and wants to start creating their own Web Apps.
