You deserve an award of the best flask teacher of the year.

Finally I found a tutorial that shows me what is stored in the session id in the cookie! This made me understand the session also! Thanks!

[neelanshsharma]

Heavily underrated tutorials. Thank you sir for educating us ❤

[ammaramirkhan]

There are no words to truly show how thankful I am to you for making such an amazing series. I have lost count of the number of tutorials I have been through (YouTube and others) to try and understand web development with Flask, and you have single-handedly helped me understand the entire system as well as best practices to implement in my work.
Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!

I was confused with some concepts of session object but after watching this video everything became crystal clear to me. Thank You

[sainbayarbattur]

Thank you so much Julian. It's extremely helpful for me to understand the overall concept.

[johnmclean]

Brilliant series of videos. I certainly wish I’d found them earlier! Thanks very much.

The session id cookie in the browser is modified at the server AND at the browser for every new key/value pair added to the session right? How Flask separates sessions from different clients? I tried to connect with 2 different computers and not understand how and where Flask stores the different session objects at the server side for multiple clients. Can you explain please?

[SA-ojbo]

why the secret key is not used to encode the cookie instead of the base-64 encoding? Thx.

[mattgregory]

Agree with all the others. This whole series has been great - both the videos and content on pythonise.com

[raysun]

Thanks man, I really appreciate your effort, please keep it coming.

Hello Julian. Can you please do a video explaining more on differences in like taking, popping out variables in python flask as some variables will be quoted in [ ], {}, (). And also the way username is declared in different quotations

[raimondomarino]

Hello Julian,
great content!
One question regarding sessions. If I just close the browser the session will remain into the browser (at least with Chrome). This way I can still access the user page (after login). Is there a way to sense when the user closes the browser and clear the session afterwards with Flask. I havent found anything useful in the documentation

Thanks
