Free eBook “Flask by Example” PDF Today Only
Flask is a lightweight Python web framework that’s used by popular applications like Pinterest and LinkedIn. Flask’s ecosystem of extensions keeps it functioning at the level of larger frameworks and it’s easy to get started building simple apps. Today’s free eBook is filled with pragmatic tutorials that will help you dive into Flask and build fully functional web applications.
This book will take you on a journey from learning about web development using Flask to building fully functional web applications. In the first major project, you develop a dynamic Headlines application that displays the latest news headlines along with up-to-date currency and weather information.
In project two, you build a Crime Map application that is backed by a MySQL database, allowing users to submit information on and the location of crimes in order to plot danger zones and other crime trends within an area.
In the final project, you combine Flask with more modern technologies, such as Twitter’s Bootstrap and the NoSQL database MongoDB, to create a Waiter Caller application that allows restaurant patrons to easily call a waiter to their table. This pragmatic tutorial will keep you engaged as you learn the crux of Flask by working on challenging real-world applications.
