Flask for Beginners

Build your first real website using Python-no advanced experience required.

With hands-on projects, modern tools, and clear guidance, this book takes you from basic Python knowledge to a fully deployed Flask web app.

This practical guide teaches you how to build web applications using Flask, one of Python's most popular and beginner-friendly web frameworks. You'll start by creating pages and templates, then move on to user forms, dynamic content, and working with a SQLite database. Along the way, you'll use HTML, CSS, and Bootstrap 5 to design your front-end, while learning how to organize your code, manage user input, and structure your app the right way.

By the end, you'll have built a complete blog project, learned how to deploy it online, and gained the skills to create your own custom apps with confidence.

Build a complete blog website from scratch using Python and Flask

Create dynamic pages, forms, and route-based navigation
