In Detail

Flask is a powerful web framework that helps you build great projects using your favorite tools. Flask takes the flexible Python programming language and provides a simple template for web development. Once imported into Python, Flask can be used to save time building web applications. It goes against the flow with the microframework concept, leaving most of the architecture choices to the developer. Through its great API, extensions, and powerful patterns, Flask helps you create simple projects in minutes and complex ones as soon as possible.

From the beginning, Building Web Applications with Flask shows you how to utilize Flasks concepts, extensions, and components to create engaging, full-featured web projects. Youll learn how to properly handle forms using WTForms, devise convenient templates with Jinja2 tags and macros, use NoSQL and SQL databases to store user data, test your projects with features and unit tests, create powerful authentication and user authorization, as well as administrative interfaces with ease, and more.

As Flask does not enforce an architectural recipe, neither do we! This book makes no coding assumptions on how you should code, leaving you free to experiment.

Preface

One can hardly develop new applications in our "now world" without duct-taping a lot of technologies together, be it new trend databases, messaging systems, or languages of all kinds. When talking about web development, things might get slightly more complicated as not only do you have to mix a lot of technologies together, but they must also work well with the applications accessing them (also known as web browsers). They should also be compatible with your deployment server, which is another story in itself!

In the Python world, where people deliver amazing desktop software following great guidelines such as the Zen of Python and PEP8, we have, at our disposal, a wide range of libraries and frameworks for creating great web applications, each with its own philosophy. Django, for example, is a bundle solution; it makes choices for you on how your project should look, what should it have, and how things should be done. Web2py is another framework solution that goes beyond and bundles even the IDE with it. These are great concepts, but if you want to create something simple, I would suggest you to do it somewhere else. They're usually good choices, but sometimes they're just too much (the latest Django version seems decisive in changing that; let's keep an eye on further developments).

Flask positions itself, not as a full-power out-of-the-box solution like both Django and Web2py, but as a minimalistic solution where you're given the bare minimum to work with and choose all the other stuff. That's very helpful when you want granular control of your application, when you want to precisely pick your components, or when your solution is simple (not simplistic, okay?).
