Unleash the full potential of the Flask web framework by creating simple yet powerful web applications
About This Book- The most up-to-date book on Flask on the market
- Create your own world-class applications and master the art of Flask by unravelling its enigma through this journey
- This step-by-step tutorial is packed with examples on blending different technologies with Flask to get you up and running
Have you looked at PHP and hated the clunky bloated syntax? Or looked at .Net and wished it was more open and flexible? Maybe youve tried your hand at GUI libraries in Python and found them hard to use? If your answer to any one of these questions is a yes, then this is just the book for you.
It is also intended for people who know the basics of Python and want to learn how to use it to build powerful solutions with a web front-end.
What You Will Learn- Build three web applications from the ground up using the powerful Python micro framework, Flask.
- Dynamically display data to your viewers, based on their requests
- Store user and static data in SQL and NoSQL databases and use this data to power your web applications
- Create a good user experience by combining HTML, CSS, and JavaScript
- Harness the convenience of freely available APIs, including OpenWeatherMap, Open Exchange Rates, and bitly
- Extend your applications to build advanced functionality, such as a user account control system using Flask-Login
- Learn about web application security and defend against common attacks, such as SQL injection and XSS
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, we develop a dynamic Headlines application that displays the latest news headlines along with up-to-date currency and weather information. In project two, we 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, we combine Flask with more modern technologies, such as Twitters 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.
Style and approachThis book will provide you with rich, practical experience of Flask. Every technology, that is employed along with Flask is comprehensively introduced, while the book focusses on developing web applications. Pointers to educational material are always given if you want to gain in-depth knowledge of the various technologies used.

Gareth Dwyer first heard the phrase, "behind every no-entry sign there is a door," a couple of decades ago, and he has been looking for a counterexample ever since. He hasn't found one yet. Gareth grew up with his three siblings in Grahamstown, South Africa. There wasn't much there except some highly respected schools and a small university. Gareth had heard that school was an unpleasant and largely pointless experience, so he opted to skip it and go to the university instead. The university door had a no-entry sign on the door because it only accepted people who had gone to school. Gareth ignored the sign. He studied piano for a while but soon, he wondered if there was more to life than sitting in front of a keyboard all day. So he switched from piano to computer science, and it took him a while to realize the irony. He studied philosophy too because it was here that people never told him to stop being so argumentative.
Gareth noticed the disparagement that his philosophy and computer science departments felt towards each other, and he found it strange. He soon discovered that he wasn't the first person to see that there was room for some common ground, and he went to Europe to study computational linguistics, where he found other people who liked debating the finer points of language while talking about the three hardest problems of computer science (naming things, and off-by-one errors).
In between doodling on blank paper while listening to very knowledgeable people lecture on content that was occasionally fascinating but often soporific, Gareth has gained so-called "industry" experience with companies such as Amazon Web Services in Cape Town and MWR InfoSecurity in Johannesburg. He has several years' experience in writing, and his favorite languages are English and Python.
He discovered that writing and writing a book are not fully overlapping experiences, and the former is hardly preparation for the latter. The pages that follow would not have come into existence without the combined efforts of many people.
Thank you Neeshma and Kajal; you have been so very kind and patient in spite of my disrespect for deadlines. Your feedback on each chapter while I was writing and your suggestions that I try to keep to schedule have been invaluable. Thank you to everyone else at Packt Publishing who has been involved in this book, from its idea, through editing, through layout, through marketing, and all the nitty-gritty parts that the reader will never think about. I'm looking forward to the next one already.
Thank you Alisa for listening, even when I complained about writing, and even when I was still complaining a year later.
Thank you Theresa, Stephanie, and Lewis for ensuring I don't go completely sane.
Thank you to all the lecturers and tutors at Rhodes University who contributed to what I know and who I am.
Thank you Ron for teaching me how to string words together, and how commas work, and why some sentences sound nice and others don't.
Finally, thank you Mom and Dad for teaching me everything else.
Burhan Khalid has always been tinkering with technology, from his early days on the XT to writing JCL on the ISPF editor, and from C and C++, Java, Pascal, and COBOL to his latest favorite, Python. As a lover of technology, he is most comfortable experimenting with the next big technology stack.
By day, he works in a multinational bank in the Alternative Channels unit, where he gets to hack on, develop, and test applications that help execute transactions across all manner of electronic devices and channels. In addition to his work, he also contributes to open source projects, having released a few toolkits for transaction processing, and he offers consultancy services to startups on their technology stacks and development processes.
He is an avid volunteer; he is a mentor for Sirdab Lab (a startup accelerator), a frequent speaker at the local Google Developer's Group, a presenter and volunteer at StartupQ8 (a startup community), and an active user on StackOverflow.

He is an MTech in computer science. His practical experience for the last five years has been in web development, cloud computing, business intelligence, system performance optimization, and software architecture design and development.
He has been actively involved in open source contributions since graduation, and he has contributed to Python, Python-Flask, and Drupal.
First, I would like to thank the Packt Publishing team, Shweta H. Birwatkar, and Gareth Dwyer, for giving me the opportunity to be a part of this project.
A special thanks to My Cute Office team whose support helped me manage work along with this book review. I would also like to thank my family for supporting me during this process.
Finally, thanks to the countless support from Python-Flask's open source community for providing me with such an easy and fast web development framework.
