Time to Leave Python Flask ... then WHAT?

Python Flask is web framework that few people use. It may be good ... I don't know, because nobody ever wanted to pay me to use it! Developers have to choose in-demand languages and leave the nerd-affections for tech behind!

.... Or just play with it on the weekends!

AWS: I also answer a question about learning Amazon Web Services.

as well: I think the advice: "check the market" isn't optimal. I followed this advice, but I wasnt really happy. For example I switched from vue to react, more jobs, right? but I prefer vue, and I can probably get a job with vue, so why be slightly unhappy with react instead, just because there is a bunch of jobs more? it's like a mix, you shouldnt choose phoenix probably, but at the same time, from the few techs that are out there with good job opportunities, choose the one that you like best.

TBH frameworks like Django or Flask are pretty easy to learn. They have good follow along tutorials which you can do in a day and you are good to go. You’ll be using regular Python constructs for writing maybe 80% of your code anyway. When you start with a web framework always understand how request is processed. Most of these frameworks look and feel the same. I’d say Flask is more lean while Django comes with batteries included, so pick based on your need. The future of such Python frameworks is moving from running them in a WSGI servers to ASGI, so look to go async to be future proof.

Well geez if you're good enough to choose the language, then obviously choose the one that makes most sense. But if you're a newbie like me, Flask seems easier to learn than Django.

I just love reading comments. Everybody preaches their own religion (programming language) but no one preaches about god (software development concepts).

Hello Stefan,
Very inspirational. I very rarely buy classes on the web, but as I want and need to up my game with python django I have just ordered your python classes. Moreover considering the current and incoming demand for AI, python is for sure a reference in the domain 😉

Past 8 months... I was a hot mess of learning all kinds of tech just to get a job. I don't have a job yet(only an internship), but i have now switched to the need to nerd basis thanks to him.

I agree with your argement, we dont learn everything, just if we need

Hi Stefan, great video, helped a lot! Thanks for the good content!!

[jeanpolice]

Thank you for giving me a developer mindset !! Nerd mindset's on the way 💪💪

My current and last job use Flask on the back end, living in Los Angeles.

Hi there Stefan!
Great video, as always.But i think you've made an honest mistake (that actually does not affect your argument at all, but can confuse newcomers)
Actually, Python is a strongly typed language, the same way java is, since type errors are raised when trying to do non-sense operations between different data types that could mess up the data.
I think that the concept you're talking about is Static vs Dinamic typing
C, C++, PHP are some actual examples of weak typing.

Instead of Python Flask, consider server-side Blazor with Dapper....good stuff.

"Nerd" to know is the best philosophy

Here in Ireland I'm noticing that the .Net stack seems to dominate going by job specs. Time to get up to speed with that.

I just got into flask, why do me like that

How do you find what's popular for your local freelance market?

Freelancing:
Python (flask or django both are good)
Nodejs
These are simple and fast to get going

Corporate:
C# Net Core
Java Spring (other frameworks are good too)
These are solid and very scalable and there will always be corporate jobs for these
