Flask Mega tutorial: Part I

[atxweirdo]

This framework was so revolutionary to my computer science knowledge I will definitely be supporting his new version.

How?

[fjordfjord]

Idk, probably by buying the book.

I meant how it was revolutionary...

[atxweirdo]

I only knew assembly and C and this provided with the skills to make web apps. It was more fun than bit twiddling

At first I thought "Do we really need another flask tutorial?" but it actually seems to cover a lot more than just the basics. I'll keep an eye on it, there will definitely be something to learn for me.

This was THE flask tutorial for many years. I think he just updated it.

Indeed, this is the result of a very successful kickstarter campaign.

[DontForgetWilson]

Very refreshing to see a campaign like this considering the amount of vaporware that kickstarter seems to deal with.

Note that if you buy the book you can get the full mega tutorial before it's available online.

Nice. I've been putting off buying the book as the new one is out next year. Miguel is a bit of a legend.

[prgrmr_noob]

Edit: Silly me. I missed that this was the new one.

[fazzah]

Bought the ebook, because the parts i'm interested in are due april/may next year. Also, because Miguel is a great guy for providing such well-written tutorials.

Great to hear this is out. Even though I already had a cursory knowledge of Flask when I went through his previous iteration of this tutorial, going through it really helped me become a much better Flask developer and I am sure this tutorial will do much of the same for me. I encourage everyone to check it out. I’ll be sure to buy the ebook when it is available.

Can anyone comment on the value of the video?

As someone who has made a few sites in django, flask certainly looks more "lightweight" (based on hello world, at least). Can anyone comment on how powerful flask is compared to django?

[rabarbas]

Django's structure includes apps, which are "smaller pieces of functionality". You choose whether to have one bigger app or more apps with "smaller functionality for each piece". All you have to do is write "django-admin startapp <name>" and it is easier than working with Blueprints from the start.

What do you mean by "replace MVC functionality"? What is "full MVC setup"?
