Who This Tutorial Is For

This tutorial is for anyone who wants to learn how to build web applications with Flask. It is suitable for beginners with no prior experience in web development, as well as experienced developers who want to learn more about Flask.

Prerequisites

To follow this tutorial, you will need the following:

• A Python 3.6 or later interpreter
• A text editor or IDE
• A database (optional)

Getting Started

To get started, create a new directory for your Flask application. Then, create a new file named app.py in that directory. This file will contain the code for your application.

Next, add the following code to app.py:

python from flask import Flask

app = Flask(__name__)

@app.route("/") def hello_world(): return "Hello, World!"

if __name__ =="__main__": app.run()

This code creates a new Flask application and adds a route to the root URL ("/"). When a user visits the root URL, the application will return the string "Hello, World!".

To run your application, open a terminal window and navigate to the directory where your app.py file is located. Then, type the following command:

bash python app.py

This will start the Flask development server. You can now visit the root URL ("/") of your application in a web browser to see the "Hello, World!" message.

Next Steps

This is just a brief to Flask. To learn more, continue reading this tutorial. The rest of the tutorial will cover the following topics:

• Adding routes
• Rendering templates
• Using Flask's built-in features
• Using Flask-SQLAlchemy
• Using Flask-WTF
• Deploying a Flask application

I hope you enjoy this tutorial and find it helpful in your journey to building web applications with Flask.
