Well, we've finally come to the part where
0:01
we're going to play a little bit around with Python.
0:04
We've talked at the high level about why it's cool
0:06
we've talked about how it's efficient
0:07
the types of things you can build.
0:09
Let's just take a couple of minutes and actually
0:11
build out something non-trivial.
0:13
We're going to build this website.
0:15
Looks pretty good, right?
0:16
Guitary, it will rock your socks off.
0:18
So here's a simple little Flask website.
0:21
And the idea is, we're a guitar company.
0:23
We're selling guitars.
0:24
Go here and, click that button
0:26
and say, browse our guitars and you'll get a list
0:29
you know, like a book store, or like any store
0:31
that you would expect online these days.
0:33
Click that button, you get something like this.
0:35
Here's all the guitars, there's a cool picture
0:37
there's the title, there's the price.
0:39
In a real app you'd be able to click on it
0:40
and get all sorts of details and order it.
0:43
In our app we just have these two screens
0:44
you can click those buttons, see all the guitars
0:47
just the electric guitars, or the acoustic guitars.
0:50
So this is what we're going to build.
0:52
We're going to only take a super simple look at it
0:55
we're not going to build every single detail from scratch.
0:58
For example, the web design
0:59
we're just going to drop that in there.
1:01
But it's going to work with our Flask app
1:03
that we're going to put together.
1:05
Now this is the first time we're writing some code
1:08
in this course, and I did say, I totally understand
1:11
that many of you may not be software developers.
1:14
Let me just set some expectations.
1:15
When you see what's happening here
1:17
in this next couple of videos, don't expect to follow along
1:21
every single step if you're not familiar with Python.
1:24
Don't expect to be able to recreate it.
1:26
It's not to teach you how to use Flask
1:28
or the Python web framework;
1:30
it's to give you a little bit of concrete sense
1:33
of what it's like for someone, possibly you
1:35
possibly someone else, to use these Python web frameworks.
1:38
So we're going to skip around a bit.
1:40
We're not going to cover every single detail.
1:42
It's more to inspire you with what is possible
1:44
than it is to teach you every single nitty gritty detail.
1:48
Okay? Here we go, It's going to be awesome.
