If you're thinking about taking this course,
0:01
you wonder maybe I've got the right background knowledge,
0:04
maybe I don't. Well, what do we assume that you know?
0:07
Not too much to be honest.
0:08
We think that you need to know Python,
0:11
you should understand the basics of the web and HTTP,
0:14
you know, what is HTML,
0:16
what is a GET vs a POST, those kinds of things.
0:19
And you should have basic knowledge of Flask.
0:23
None of this is super advanced.
0:24
We're not using the crazy features of Python,
0:27
not doing like async generators or anything like that.
0:31
We're not doing really fancy stuff with HTML either.
0:34
And we're not using actually very many fancy aspects of Flask,
0:38
but you should know how they all work.
0:40
And so we're assuming these, we'll talk to them as we work with them,
0:43
but we're not going to be teaching them from scratch. If you do need to learn
0:46
them, we have two great courses that cover both of the main areas.
0:51
We have Python for Absolute Beginners, which teaches you Python.
0:54
It's not as simplistic as it might sound,
0:56
but it just has no assumptions about you getting started.
0:59
So it really is a good foundational course, and Building Data-Driven Web Apps with Flask and
1:04
SQLAlchemy, a really good course on Flask,
1:07
and we do talk about HTML and CSS and things like that over there.
1:11
So if you need to learn Python or Flask,
1:13
maybe consider taking one of these courses first.
1:15
But again, basic knowledge, not super advanced knowledge of our three topics is all you need.
