Flask for Beginners

For Python developers who don't want to be bogged down with complexity. Flask for Beginners is the course that will help you learn Flask quickly.

This course will teach you how to build Flask apps using only Flask and two essential extensions. You don't have to worry about managing multiple extensions on your machine or worry about incompatible database systems. By learning without using extra extensions other than Flask-SQLAlchemy and Flask-Login, you'll have a better understanding of how things work, so when you go to actually use extensions, you'll be able to get much more out of them.

Why Flask? Even though Flask is simple, you can create any web app you can imagine using it. Flask is not only easy to learn, but it's also virtually guaranteed to work on your machine. If you've ever tried installing a large library to only find it doesn't work on your computer, you'll be delighted to find that Flask, with its few dependencies and small footprint, will work on your computer.

Once you enroll, you'll get access to several hours of content that you can work through at your own pace. Code for all the videos is included, which makes it much easier for you to follow along. You can protect your investment by downloading the course videos and code. Once you purchase the course, feel free to download all the videos and code in the course to add to your personal library.

You'll start by learning the basics of Flask. You'll learn enough to understand the fundamentals of Flask, how to use templates, and how to connect and use a SQLite database with Flask-SQLAlchemy. Once you decide to change databases, it will be as simple as updated the configuration since you used Flask-SQLAlchemy.

And since the best way to learn is by example, I'll build two demo applications that use only what I taught in the preceding sections. You'll see how easy it is to build Flask apps without having to download every extension available for Flask.

What you'll build: A registration form app and API that demonstrates the fundamentals of Flask. You'll also build a dashboard app that shows the power of using Flask-SQLAlchemy for interacting with a database.

I'm always available to answer questions. Each video has its own comment section that I monitor. If you want proof of my willingness to respond, check any of my YouTube videos. I respond to every comment!

The skills you learn in this course will put you on the path of creating your own web apps. At the end of the course, you should understand the fundamentals of building web applications in Flask. With this knowledge, you can continue with Flask, or you could try other frameworks, because the principles of web development are the same everywhere.
