Flask Tutorial for Beginners | Web Development with Python

Do you want to make an interactive website? Flask is a lightweight Python framework for creating a backend for your website, so that you can process user input efficiently and easily! In this video, Carolyn and Alice outline how to set up a virtual environment and project using Flask. They outline how to take in user input, process it in the backend with Flask, and output it back to the web page. If you’re uncertain about using endpoints and navigating dynamic web pages in general, this tutorial is also for you!

you got me started with set up of the environment and giving me a understating of what flask is but I felt and a little blind sided with the code. thanks
