1 00:00:05,630 --> 00:00:07,720 Welcome back everyone in this lecture. 2 00:00:07,730 --> 00:00:11,230 We're going to go and have a high level overview of the course curriculum. 3 00:00:11,330 --> 00:00:13,520 That way you can understand how the Course is structured. 4 00:00:13,610 --> 00:00:17,540 And more importantly if you already know some topics that are in the course curriculum you can understand 5 00:00:17,540 --> 00:00:20,230 which sections to skip and where you can just dive in. 6 00:00:20,240 --> 00:00:21,470 So let's get started. 7 00:00:22,450 --> 00:00:26,590 Here are the major topics in the course curriculum and we go through them one by one. 8 00:00:26,590 --> 00:00:30,430 Keep in mind some of these major topics are then divided further into subsections. 9 00:00:30,460 --> 00:00:34,000 So after going through his course curriculum you should understand everything that we teach in the course 10 00:00:34,270 --> 00:00:37,070 as well as if you already know something where to jump in. 11 00:00:37,090 --> 00:00:42,370 Further along the course so we start off an introduction section that's the section you're in right 12 00:00:42,370 --> 00:00:42,850 now. 13 00:00:42,970 --> 00:00:44,360 It's the Course overview lecture. 14 00:00:44,380 --> 00:00:46,360 This lecture is described in the course curriculum. 15 00:00:46,450 --> 00:00:50,770 The fake Q lecture which is just an article lecture of some useful links and frequently asked questions. 16 00:00:50,780 --> 00:00:55,510 And remember if you're ever looking for the source files that are available as a zip file here either 17 00:00:55,510 --> 00:01:00,690 in FNQ lecture or in the course overview lecture the one previous to this one that said Don't skip. 18 00:01:00,710 --> 00:01:03,600 OK so you should already have an understanding of where to find your notes. 19 00:01:03,640 --> 00:01:09,450 By the time you're doing this lecture then we have a couple of sections that I'm going to label as a 20 00:01:09,450 --> 00:01:11,540 front end crash course. 21 00:01:11,550 --> 00:01:15,870 Essentially you have three major crash courses for the front end material and that's a crash course 22 00:01:15,870 --> 00:01:18,540 on HVM L C Ss and bootstrap. 23 00:01:18,540 --> 00:01:22,470 For now many users especially have already done previous web development. 24 00:01:22,500 --> 00:01:25,140 You may be already familiar with those and concepts. 25 00:01:25,140 --> 00:01:27,240 So if you are please feel free to skip. 26 00:01:27,270 --> 00:01:32,320 According to your skill level each of these crash courses does have some sort of project exercise. 27 00:01:32,340 --> 00:01:33,280 At the end of it. 28 00:01:33,330 --> 00:01:37,980 So if you want to make sure that your understanding is up to par which with what we teach here in the 29 00:01:37,980 --> 00:01:41,020 course you can always just skip ahead to those project exercises. 30 00:01:41,040 --> 00:01:43,110 Check them out and then see if you can pass them. 31 00:01:43,320 --> 00:01:46,690 So we're going to cover those three main topics aist in LCS and bootstrap. 32 00:01:46,770 --> 00:01:51,300 Those are really just the basic level you need to know in order to continue on and learning about Python 33 00:01:51,300 --> 00:01:52,270 and flask. 34 00:01:52,290 --> 00:01:56,610 So once we go through those front end crash courses they're pretty short sections each. 35 00:01:56,610 --> 00:02:02,940 Then we have a larger section which is just an overall Python crash course essentially a mini Python 36 00:02:02,940 --> 00:02:08,490 course inside of this entire class course and we've broken this up into two levels because it's very 37 00:02:08,490 --> 00:02:12,580 likely that someone already has Python experience if they're interested in learning flask. 38 00:02:12,630 --> 00:02:16,460 So I divided it up into basic Python and then advanced Python. 39 00:02:16,680 --> 00:02:21,780 The basic Python that discusses things from the very basics such as objects data types. 40 00:02:21,780 --> 00:02:23,280 Very basic data structures. 41 00:02:23,410 --> 00:02:28,510 How to perform a control flow like if an L statements and then ends up talking about functions. 42 00:02:28,530 --> 00:02:32,070 So if you already understand that stuff and you already know how to create a function of Python you 43 00:02:32,070 --> 00:02:36,470 may be able to skip that first level of basic Python then Level 2. 44 00:02:36,690 --> 00:02:42,090 That's a more advanced action on Python that discusses things like object oriented programming decorators 45 00:02:42,120 --> 00:02:43,700 and how to create your own modules. 46 00:02:43,740 --> 00:02:49,080 Those kind of ideas aren't necessary to fully understand the flask framework so maybe have a little 47 00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:53,370 bit of basic Python you know to create basic functions but you haven't learned about things like decorators 48 00:02:53,370 --> 00:02:54,850 or object oriented programming. 49 00:02:54,870 --> 00:02:59,450 Then you can jump into the advanced Python section and check that all out OK. 50 00:02:59,730 --> 00:03:06,270 So after that entire section on Python those two sections then we actually start learning about flask. 51 00:03:06,270 --> 00:03:09,000 So we'll start off with the very basics of flask. 52 00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:14,010 Essentially an overview of flask applications and really get a focus here on how to route a flask application 53 00:03:14,270 --> 00:03:20,380 to show different web pages on your actual web app that we have a couple of sections on building out 54 00:03:20,380 --> 00:03:25,600 this idea of basic flasks and there are three really important sections and we'll divided up into templates 55 00:03:25,660 --> 00:03:27,260 forms and databases. 56 00:03:27,430 --> 00:03:31,510 So the template section that's going to show you how to actually connect the HTL files and essentially 57 00:03:31,510 --> 00:03:37,210 all that front end stuff to flask and then also cover Jinja templating there so you can directly send 58 00:03:37,210 --> 00:03:40,490 information from glass to the front end of your web site. 59 00:03:40,630 --> 00:03:45,400 Then the next section will talk about forms essentially how to create forms with flasks for input. 60 00:03:45,430 --> 00:03:50,410 We talk about HMO forms and the front end crash course section but then this shows you how you can easily 61 00:03:50,410 --> 00:03:53,290 create those forms with flask automatically. 62 00:03:53,380 --> 00:03:58,690 Then after that we talk about databases essentially once you actually get input from a form how do you 63 00:03:58,690 --> 00:04:02,080 save that to your database so you can retrieve it later on. 64 00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:05,870 So we talk all about databases in that third section. 65 00:04:05,950 --> 00:04:11,230 Now by the time you're finished with this section you actually understand how to make a basic web site 66 00:04:11,460 --> 00:04:14,530 you understand how to take in user information save it report it back. 67 00:04:14,530 --> 00:04:20,320 So by the time you're done with flask basics templates forms and databases you really have a ton of 68 00:04:20,320 --> 00:04:23,380 knowledge of how to actually create real web applications. 69 00:04:24,470 --> 00:04:31,100 So then we're talking about our more advanced topics such as how to actually structure larger flask 70 00:04:31,100 --> 00:04:32,300 applications. 71 00:04:32,300 --> 00:04:36,920 So the previous lectures before this are going to talk more simplified applications but here we're really 72 00:04:36,920 --> 00:04:42,560 going to have an in-depth discussion on how we like something called blueprints to organize flask applications 73 00:04:42,560 --> 00:04:48,460 that can scale to a much larger structure that would talk about things like user authentication. 74 00:04:48,470 --> 00:04:50,110 So have a whole section on that. 75 00:04:50,200 --> 00:04:54,890 And those are things like user registration user logons just general authentication practices such as 76 00:04:54,890 --> 00:04:59,180 storing passwords and we'll even talk about auth for outside authorization. 77 00:04:59,180 --> 00:05:02,980 Those are the kind of things when you go to a Web site and it says log in with Facebook or logon to 78 00:05:03,050 --> 00:05:04,920 Google or log in with Twitter. 79 00:05:05,010 --> 00:05:06,520 That's called authorisations. 80 00:05:06,560 --> 00:05:10,400 You basically like any other web site handly your authorization and show you how to do that with something 81 00:05:10,400 --> 00:05:14,870 like Twitter to log into the Web site in case you don't want to implement your own registration or logging 82 00:05:14,930 --> 00:05:16,860 practice. 83 00:05:17,050 --> 00:05:22,480 Then we get to a very large portion of the course which is a huge social network project essentially 84 00:05:22,480 --> 00:05:26,620 taking everything we've learned so far including the front end the Python the flask and all that good 85 00:05:26,620 --> 00:05:32,160 stuff and we create a very large project that has gone to a lot of those important features altogether. 86 00:05:32,170 --> 00:05:36,260 So we'll talk about having multiple users authenticating them how to register new users to your Web 87 00:05:36,260 --> 00:05:41,230 site how to connect all those users to non-skilled database how to use blueprints to have posts and 88 00:05:41,230 --> 00:05:43,310 how users can follow other users. 89 00:05:43,330 --> 00:05:47,860 So all those little details and we'll have that all in a very large projects are going to learn a lot 90 00:05:48,020 --> 00:05:50,250 and will be a really nice review as you code along. 91 00:05:50,350 --> 00:05:55,240 And it's going to be an awesome project and later on to either your friends or your colleagues. 92 00:05:55,240 --> 00:05:59,080 Then after that we talk about some more esoteric topics which you may or may not need the pending on 93 00:05:59,080 --> 00:06:00,240 the scale of our Web site. 94 00:06:00,370 --> 00:06:02,070 And those are going to be things like touching at rest. 95 00:06:02,110 --> 00:06:02,850 API. 96 00:06:03,040 --> 00:06:07,230 So you can create a restful interface for your web site and also other things like how to accept payments 97 00:06:07,240 --> 00:06:07,920 we stripe. 98 00:06:08,110 --> 00:06:12,220 So it may be you do or don't want to actually accept money for your web site but we'll show you how 99 00:06:12,220 --> 00:06:13,010 to do that anyways. 100 00:06:13,030 --> 00:06:17,830 And some of these more advanced topics it is going to be shorter sections sister a little more advance 101 00:06:18,070 --> 00:06:19,640 and you may or may not need them. 102 00:06:19,860 --> 00:06:20,380 OK. 103 00:06:20,410 --> 00:06:23,060 And that's really essentially the entire course curriculum. 104 00:06:23,230 --> 00:06:24,680 Kind of a broad level here. 105 00:06:24,760 --> 00:06:30,010 And as you go through of course we'll dive into much better detail about all those little individual 106 00:06:30,010 --> 00:06:30,700 topics. 107 00:06:30,700 --> 00:06:31,210 All right. 108 00:06:31,210 --> 00:06:35,110 If you have any questions on where is a good fit for you to jump forward in the course. 109 00:06:35,110 --> 00:06:39,130 If you already feel familiar some of these topics feel free to post the Q&A and forums or send me a 110 00:06:39,130 --> 00:06:39,700 message. 111 00:06:39,730 --> 00:06:42,290 I'm always happy to help you find a good starting point. 112 00:06:42,310 --> 00:06:42,880 Thanks. 113 00:06:42,880 --> 00:06:46,290 And up next we'll talk about just in general how a flask website works. 114 00:06:46,440 --> 00:06:47,590 OK we'll see you there.
