Book DescriptionFlask 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 start by installing Flask and grasping fundamental concepts such as MVC and ORM database access. Next, you’ll master structuring applications for scalability through Flask Blueprints. As you progress, you’ll delve into both SQL and NoSQL databases while creating REST APIs and implementing JWT authentication, and improve your skills in role-based access security, utilizing LDAP, OAuth, OpenID, and databases. The new project structure, managed by context managers, as well as ASGI, support has revolutionized Flask, and you’ll get to grips with these crucial upgrades. You'll also explore out-of-the-box integrations with technologies like RabbitMQ, Celery, NoSQL databases, PostgreSQL, and various external modules. The final part of the book is dedicated to enterprise-related challenges where Flask proves its mettle as a core solution.
By the end of the book, you’ll be well-versed with Flask, seeing it not only as a lightweight web and API framework, but also as a potent problem-solving tool in your daily work, addressing integration and enterprise issues alongside Django and FastAPI.What you will learn
