Python for web development (Flask framework)

Build Facebook-like websites or SaaS platforms with Python Flask Framework (databases, forms, front-end, ...)

Even though low-code and no-code technologies are becoming more and more popular, ambitious projects need a platform or a website that is coded from scratch. This course focuses on building such ambitious projects by giving you the tools that you need to create Facebook-like websites or SaaS services.

This course offers practical solutions to the most challenging problems that you will meet while building a web application. With this course, you will understand why sites like Facebook or Amazon are not build with WordPress. You will understand how you can build a complete platform, connect it to a database and put it to production. This course is broken into 24 chapters that address all the subjects that you need to understand to build a complete web app. You will learn:

- How to launch an "hello world" application

- How to connect your application to your front-end

- The best practices of programming within a team

- How to connect your application to databases (MySQL, PostgreSQL, MongoDB)

- How to send emails and text messages

- How to scale your application

- How to put your application to production with different providers (AWS, Digital Ocean, Planet Hoster, Python Anywhere)

I have gathered in this course everything that I learnt in the last 3 years, wandering around thousands of forums and YouTube videos and debugging during thousands of hours. I have intentionally designed this course so that you can come back any time and find what you need in separate videos and course chapters. This course is part on an ongoing Python’s series including:

- Python for web development (this course)

- Python for web scrapping & advanced automation

- Python for mobile app backends & APIs
