0:00 Alrighty, before we get started let's have a quick look at what we're going to be doing over the next four days.
0:07 The first day is going to be watching videos. How lucky are you guys? This is all about setting up your first Flask app. In the package format
0:18 go through the videos starting at the initial setup video and work your way through to creating your app and then configuring your Flask end file.
0:29 That's where I'd like you to draw the line. Try not to do too much. The reason I say this is this is the 100 days of code challenge.
0:37 You do not want to get burnt out by doing four or five hours of straight code in your first day.
0:42 The idea behind the challenge, again, 30 to 60 minutes. Limit yourself, maintain that motivation and focus.
0:50 So watch the videos have a little bit of a play but don't do too much. You don't want to get burnt out. Day two, watch the second half of the videos.
1:00 Now these videos from day two will actually continue what you did in day one and this time we'll extend on the application
1:08 and then create a standard template that will flow across all the pages on your website or in your Flask app.
1:17 That's actually a really important concept of Flask. Very useful, so make sure you master that one and then when you are done, again
1:26 try not to do too much because you've got days three and four to play. That's going to be a lot of fun for you. It's free form.
1:36 I don't want to make it too difficult. I don't want you to burn yourself out again. Just have a play.
1:40 This time for three and four I would like you to actually create your own app. So start from scratch. Get rid of everything that we've done
1:49 just push it to the side. Try not to look at it. See if you can create your app. Obviously, reference it where you have to
1:55 but create everything yourself. Create your own base HTML file get some basic CSS in there make it pretty, and just have some fun with it.
2:06 And that's it! So, move onto the next video. Get cracking on day one and work your way through these days referencing this Read Me file if you need to.
