Key benefits

  • Create production-ready MVC and REST API with the dynamic features of Flask

Description

Flask is a popular Python framework known for its lightweight and modular design. Mastering Flask Web Development will take you on a complete tour of the Flask environment and teach you how to build a production-ready application. You'll begin by learning about the installation of Flask and basic concepts such as MVC and accessing a database using an ORM. You will learn how to structure your application so that it can scale to any size with the help of Flask Blueprints. You'll then learn how to use Jinja2 templates with a high level of expertise. You will also learn how to develop with SQL or NoSQL databases, and how to develop REST APIs and JWT authentication. Next, you'll move on to build role-based access security and authentication using LDAP, OAuth, OpenID, and database. Also learn how to create asynchronous tasks that can scale to any load using Celery and RabbitMQ or Redis. You will also be introduced to a wide range of Flask extensions to leverage technologies such as cache, localization, and debugging. You will learn how to build your own Flask extensions, how to write tests, and how to get test coverage reports. Finally, you will learn how to deploy your application on Heroku and AWS using various technologies, such as Docker, CloudFormation, and Elastic Beanstalk, and will also learn how to develop Jenkins pipelines to build, test, and deploy applications.

There is a lot of good info in here, but the instructions and steps to follow have numerous gaps. Assumptions are made and steps are skipped entirely leading to extensive time spent troubleshooting instead of learning.

So the book isn't awful, it's got a lot of good info. However, it's also got unforgivable issues. For example, when setting up virtualenv it guides you through the steps. The problem being, the steps are largely wrong if you're on a Windows machine. You have to activate env/scripts/activate it is NOT actually env/bin/activate as you're told. Windows is literally the most used OS in the world, so not putting a footnote or anything is just insane. I wasted good hour trying to get it to work then hunting down on Google because of it. Makes me wonder what other surprises the book will have as I go on. Wishing I'd picked up one of the O'Reilly books. Those have always been good for me.
