Build interactive websites for your business or project using Flask, PostgreSQL, HTML, and CSS.
The best way to share your work is by putting it online. Whether you've made a app you want others to use, or you want to put your business online and start selling, a website is the tool for the job.
It's easy to make a website public, to collect data from your users, and to make sales.
In this course you'll learn how build the front-end of a website with HTML and CSS, and then how to serve it using Flask. You'll also add user authentication and collect user data with PostgreSQL.
By the end of the course you'll have built 4 complete web projects that you can add to your portfolio or simply take inspiration from when you build your own website.

The best course on web development with Flask you could take. Jose is a great teacher and knows his stuff. You'll be taught all the technical parts and industry best practices.
”- Eduardo Ruiz
After years of tutorials and courses, this guy made me see the light. I have previous intermediate Python knowledge but he demystifies all the obscure ins and outs of Python in a couple of hours. He's simply the best out here on Udemy. 5 Stars for this young Sean Connery of code. No doubt.
