This is the ReadMe for the course,
0:02
for the Python Flask introduction.
0:04
This is going to guide you through the next 3 days,
0:08
so obviously we have the videos coming,
0:11
but there are some little things you should know
0:13
before you get cracking, so looking at these days here,
0:18
the first thing you're actually going to do is set up
0:20
your environment and then create your first Flask app, okay?
0:25
It's quite simple.
0:27
You'll probably complete these very quickly,
0:29
but there are a few concepts that you should know,
0:31
so just follow along with the videos
0:34
and then play around with your Flask app.
0:36
What I'd like you to do on the first day
0:39
is start thinking about potential CLI scripts,
0:43
maybe apps that you've already written for the command line,
0:47
and then see how you can Flaskify them,
0:50
turn them into Flask apps.
0:52
Just have a think about that one.
0:54
For the second day, what I'd like you to do
0:57
is go through the videos, and you're going to be working
1:00
through dictionary data, how to pass that data
1:03
from your Flask app into your Jinja template.
1:07
This is very, very critical, so it's a good day
1:10
to dedicate just to that, alright?
1:13
And play around with that, see what else you can do with it.
1:18
If you want to dive into the more advanced functionality,
1:20
you can, with databases and whatnot.
1:24
But really, that is your Day 3,
1:26
so freestyle, go nuts.
1:29
The CLI app that you would've thought about on day one,
1:33
actually try applying Flask to it.
1:36
Try that on Day 3 and maybe throw in the database thing
1:40
that you probably played around with on Day 2.
1:43
So see what other cool advanced techniques
1:46
you can discover and learn with Flask,
1:48
and see what you can implement on existing apps.
1:51
That's your Day 3.
1:53
And with that, just pop on over to the next video.
