Learn all that's needed to build a fully functional web application from scratch. Key Features Delve deep into the principle behind RESTful API Learn how to build a scalable web application with the RESTful API architecture and Flask framework Know what are the exact tools and methodology to test your applications and how to use them Book Description Python is a flexible language that can be used for much more than just script development. By knowing the Python RESTful APIs work, you can build a powerful backend for web applications and mobile applications using Python. You'll take your first steps by building a simple API and learning how the frontend web interface can communicate with the backend. You'll also learn how to serialize and deserialize objects using the marshmallow library. Then, you'll learn how to authenticate and authorize users using Flask-JWT. You'll also learn how to enhance your APIs by adding useful features, such as email, image upload, searching, and pagination. You'll wrap up the whole book by deploying your APIs to the cloud. By the end of this book, you'll have the confidence and skill to leverage the power of RESTful APIs and Python to build efficient web applications. What you will learn Understand the concept of a RESTful API Build a RESTful API using Flask and the Flask-Restful extension Manipulate a database using Flask-SQLAlchemy and Flask-Migrate Send out plaintext and HTML format emails using the Mailgun API Implement a pagination function using Flask-SQLAlchemy Use caching to improve API performance and efficiently obtain the latest information Deploy an application to Heroku and test it using Postman Who this book is for This book is ideal for aspiring software developers who have a basic-to-intermediate knowledge of Python programming and who want to develop web applications using Python. Knowledge of how web applications work will be beneficial but is not essential.

Learn to build modern, secure, highly available web MVC applications and API's using Python`s Flask framework. Key Features Create production-ready MVC and REST API with the dynamic features of Flask Utilize the various extensions like Flask-JWT and Flask-SQLAlchemy to develop powerful applications Deploy your flask application on real-world platforms like AWS and Heroku on VM's or Docker containers Book Description Flask 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 begin by learning about the installation of Flask and basic concepts such as MVC and accessing a database using an ORM. You will learn how to structure your application so that it can scale to any size with the help of Flask Blueprints. You'll then learn how to use Jinja2 templates with a high level of expertise. You will also learn how to develop with SQL or NoSQL databases, and how to develop REST APIs and JWT authentication. Next, you'll move on to build role-based access security and authentication using LDAP, OAuth, OpenID, and database. Also learn how to create asynchronous tasks that can scale to any load using Celery and RabbitMQ or Redis. You will also be introduced to a wide range of Flask extensions to leverage technologies such as cache, localization, and debugging. You will learn how to build your own Flask extensions, how to write tests, and how to get test coverage reports. Finally, you will learn how to deploy your application on Heroku and AWS using various technologies, such as Docker, CloudFormation, and Elastic Beanstalk, and will also learn how to develop Jenkins pipelines to build, test, and deploy applications. What you will learn Develop a Flask extension using best practices Implement various authentication methods: LDAP, JWT, Database, OAuth, and OpenID Learn how to develop role-based access security and become an expert on Jinja2 templates Build tests for your applications and APIs Install and configure a distributed task queue using Celery and RabbitMQ Develop RESTful APIs and secure REST API's Deploy highly available applications that scale on Heroku and AWS using Docker or VMs Who this book is for The ideal target audience for this book would be Python developers who want to use Flask and its advanced features to create Enterprise grade and lightweight applications.
