Django vs Flask | Which framework to choose? | Python

When it comes to web development in Python, Django isn’t the only game in town. Flask is a scrappy young framework that takes a very different approach – whereas Django ships with tons of features ready and eager to be used, Flask provides a bare minimum feature-set with rock-solid extensibility and incredible flexibility. This talk, given by a web developer who has experience with both frameworks, takes a good look at the pros and cons for both Flask and Django. If you’ve ever felt that Django is too hard to learn, or too inflexible, this is the talk for you!

Best comparison I have watched about Django vs Flask. Thank you

[vadapallichaitu]

This is the single best comparison between flask and django on YouTube.

[ibrahimpasha]

I’ve been using flask professionally and for personal projects for about a year now, absolutely love it

[ayemunhossain]

Every time, i googled or watch a video everyone just talk sh*t about #Flask . Sir you are the only one who discuss the correct things about #flask..just love your presentation about Django vs Flask.😍

I really appreciate your effort in doing this comparison video. Highlighting the difference from the code level is what I was looking for. Keep it up.

I love Flask just because this is pure creativity. You just take it and make web magic in a way of structure like you want and not like was described in docs. Sometimes I just like to do some experiments with Python in Web and Flask suites best for this. Django is a great tool for regular tasks that already exist and well known. Like ecommerce, blogs, CRMs, social networks etc.

I enjoyed that talk. Clear, informative, well-reasoned and objective.
I would suggest maybe not to put too much text into your bulletpoints as an improvement. It sometimes occured that you have just read what it said on the slides. Instead, compensate the bulletpoint and talk more about it. That way, the listener focuses more on you, the presenter, and not on the screen, the wingman of you as a presenter.

as per discussion, I love to go with flask, because this is lightweight and things are in more control than Django, I am not much experienced on both frameworks, but if someone love to learn the technology behind always prefer flask, but after getting some exposure Django may be best choice.For beginners flask should be considered which is just my personal opinion. Any way both have their own pros and cons. Thanks for sharing such comparison

[alfredogoncalo]

The best comparison that I've seen on youtube, Thanks

[daytodatainc]

Love the explanations of pros and cons, thanks. Very insightful!

This is a really useful comparison, but the volume is too low. I have to turn my system speaker to the max, just to be able to hear it.

[ThomasJr]

It's freaking hard to learn Flask in the beginning, wow, I sweated a lot just to learn how to create a few simple drop-downs and then learn how to get the chosen values. Maybe it's cause it doesn't have a data model?

[school]

Best detailed comparison video on YouTube... Good work )

[dhaval]

Can you make a checklist, that contains all assumption that django makes about your project.

So you can sit your client if all point get checked out means use Django it's fast, it's easy and it does the heavy lifting

If checklist is not fully checked you can see on case by case basis to decide if you want modify Django or use flask and you do it yourself

[MagnusAnand]

It’s important to clarify that Django 3.0 has many new features

[dequationblog]

That was an amazing presentation. Thank you !

[Stellarspace]

I found Django a little hard but it was very comprehensible after a few hours of playing around with it, I am about to start with Flask I hope it's a breeze

[TradePlanIO]

First video with no dislike. Plz don't do it. Plz.

[SoftwareEngineering]

Let me make it short and more simple to understand Django is like IOS and Flask is like Android 😀 both are good at their own place now It is up to you what kind of environment you like.

[MagnusAnand]

This is an excellent presentation. Thanks!
