Python: Create and Deploy Real World Web Application using Flask

This course is designed to teach the fundamentals of web development using Flask, a popular web framework in Python. Students will learn how to create web applications with Flask from scratch, starting with the installation process and the understanding of Flask’s application structure. The course will then dive into Flask routing, covering topics such as using URL parameters, handling HTTP methods, and creating custom error pages. Students will learn how to work with Flask templates, including how to use Jinja2 templates, pass data to templates, and utilize template inheritance.

The course will also cover Flask forms, teaching students how to build basic forms, validate forms, and handle file uploads. Additionally, students will learn about Flask’s database connection and how to connect to a database, perform CRUD operations (backend REST API and frontend), and use an ORM (Object-Relational Mapping) in Flask. Finally, students will learn how to deploy their Flask applications on Heroku for free and Dockerize their Flask application for deployment in VPS.
