REST APIs with Flask and Python

This course covers pretty much what you're looking for. REST APIs with Flask and Python

Once you're done with building APIs, you can easily communicate with the react front-end using fetch or axios

I can’t help you in the way you want, but I do have some advice.

It seems that you have taken a tutorial that might not be suitable for beginners. The issue is that you are following a YouTube tutorial. Those can be good or bad, but it’s hard to figure out which ones are quality. There are so many that start off good but then get to a concept they don’t explain, or sometimes they use code that is deprecated and no longer in use in the latest library iterations. For example, they might be using an older version of flask and the code consequently doesn’t match what your new iteration expects, meaning the tutorial cannot be completed.

In regards to your question, it seems this tutorial has some prerequisites. For example, basic Docker knowledge is required as well as several other topics that might not be explained in detail in the series. Although some people may try to help, these aren’t easy topics to explain in a short comment. It would require you to research it, maybe even to take a short “Docker basics” tutorial to supplement the tutorial you’re working on now.

This said, I have been using a few different paid tutorial sites that I would recommend. Paid tutorials are great because the creators are doing it for income, and thus, support their tutorials with q/a boards and updates. Do not be fooled, they are NOT expensive. They can be bought for the same amount as buying lunch in many cases. First I used zenva as there was a humble bundle that sold a tutorial bundle by them, so I highly recommend checking humble bundle occasionally for tutorial bundles. If there’s no bundle, don’t buy this one, read on. Next, I used real Python for cheap and free tutorials. They have lots of free ones for simple concepts, and paid ones for more niche topics. These are good if you want to learn a library, or how to use Python built in methods. But best of all, I recommend udemy, which I’m using now. The thing I love about Udemy is that their course selection is massive and you can easily compare courses by course content and reviews. There’s also tons of coupons. The courses might be advertised for $150 but this is a lie. I got 3 courses for $20 by using a 90% off coupon I found on Google. These are not only packed with content, but the creators actually take time to cover topics like docker, Heroku, flask, etc, by spending entire sections on them. The one I’ve been learning from now is this one which even taught me basic Python concepts I somehow missed before.

Anyways good luck with your studies and don’t give up. You might have to try several different tutorials before finding a quality one, but it’s worth the effort my friend!

I've been going through this course which seems like a more in depth version of that tutorial. So far so good.

i really liked this course: https://www.udemy.com/course/rest-api-flask-and-python/

i think it does a good job demonstrating how to design a server and interact with apis

Seguinte. Eu não recomendaria nenhum curso de +100k

Faz um curso simples com que vai ajudar você começar a aprender e vai ver se vc gosta da area. REST APIs with Flask and Python

​

Se tu não curtir a ideia, uma coisa que é mais humanas seria trabalhar de PO e PM que é gestão voltado pra software. Pra cada 4 programadores tu precisa de um PO então tem area pra caramba e a grana chega a ser melhor que de programador.

I did this Flask API Udemy course and it was really helpful. Also covered setting up in Heroku.

I'm not at my desktop now, have a look at if the course interests you, else remind me tomorrow and i can see if there is an example to gist for you.

To paraphrase Greenspun's tenth rule:

Any sufficiently complicated Flask program contains an ad hoc, informally-specified, bug-ridden, slow implementation of half of Django.

But, building that "ad hoc, bug-ridden" website is really informative. I also started with Django, then switched to ASP.Net MVC, and then back to Django. It still felt like a lot of magic. I felt like I was memorizing, not learning.

I then helped add a feature to a website using Pyramid and did a great tutorial using Flask. Using frameworks that don't have everything built helped me better understand what was going on under the covers in Django.

Check out Jose Salvatierra's course on Udemy: https://www.udemy.com/course/rest-api-flask-and-python/

Jose is an excellent teacher.

Dude Flask is the way. I took this course on udemy and am currently in the middle of building an API for my employer. https://www.udemy.com/course/rest-api-flask-and-python/

Wenn ich mich so in den typischen Online-Angeboten umschaue stechen mir zwei Sachen ins Auge:

https://www.udemy.com/course/rest-api-flask-and-python/

Ich weiß das Python + Flask super schnell geht zum Einsteigen. Du kannst mit Flask schön REST-APIs designen und die gleichen Prinzipien z.B. auch auf Spring anwenden. Das geht sehr ähnlich. Allerdings ist es für dich vielleicht etwas zu basic.

https://www.udemy.com/course/rest-api/

Das klingt ziemlich nach dem was du suchst. Richtet sich eher an Leute die schon Erfahrung haben und die keinen Einstieg ins Coden suchen.

Beides kostet momentan 9.99 € wie ich gerade sehe... also außer Lebenszeit kann man da nichts verschwenden.

I have a friend that used to work as a lawyer but decided to transition to software development. He knew a bit of python and he used it to crunch data for cases he worked on. Well, he took advantage of his existing skills and invested some time proving them by taking data analytics courses on Udacity and Coursera. I also taught him the basics of web development, front-end and backend. This was enough for him to land the first job about 3 years ago. On that job he had to crunch data, build web APIs and build simple report pages. He worked pretty hard since then and now he's an awesome front end engineer.

My advice for you would be the same. Take advantage of what you know now and try to learn web development. If you can write backend code in python and you know angular or react, have a good grasp of the fundamentals of HTML, CSS and JavaScript, that'll be enough for you to get a job. Once you have a job you're going to learn a lot of the other important skills in practice and find what are you like to work on the most. Don't be super picky with your first job, go for it learn and move to a better one after when you feel you're not learning new things anymore.

If you have a friend who's a developer, ask them if they can mentor you. That gonna make your learning process much simpler. Otherwise try some udemy courses. There are really nice ones there.

This should get you up and running.

It gonna be hard but if that's what you want, just go for it! Changing areas is a big challenge and I do respect who goes through that process. In my experience, people like you becomes great professionals.

Yeah, I have stumbled upon it previously. I took

REST APIs with Flask and Python

Advanced REST APIs with Flask and Python

and I also read the Python API Development Fundamentals: Develop a full-stack web application with Python and Flask

These are great resources, they pretty much covered what Flask Mega-Tutorial from Miguel Grinberg has to offer. But it still leaves me wanting to have a real-world production value API for reference.

By the way, if someone is looking for a place to start I would strongly recommend the book over the courses.
