FAQs

Is it worth it to learn Python Flask?

Python Flask obviously isn't for everyone, but if you're in need of a versatile and lightweight web framework, then Python Flask is absolutely worth it. Web developers use Flask's flexibility to build out APIs and microservices, data scientists love how easy it is to develop dashboards for their unique data needs, and engineers can get it up and running for small projects with very little development time needed.

How much does it cost to use Python Flask?

Python Flask itself is free and open source, so if you're just interested in navigating the framework itself and seeing what it's capable of, there's no cost to you. Python Flask is a microframework, so there are no dependent tools or libraries with hidden costs. And hosting small Python Flask apps tends to be cheap as well: web hosting companies tend to charge very little to run relatively small Flask jobs.

How difficult is it to learn Python Flask?

Python Flask isn't hard to learn, and most developers can master its operation and start building small projects within a month. If you're a person who reads documentation for fun, the Python Flask documentation is comprehensive. But the easiest way to learn Flask is with a course that walks you through the concepts and details before giving you challenges and practice projects with a development environment to work in.

Does this Python Flask course prepare me for any certifications?

Not directly, no. Both Python and Flask are open source, which is great for many reasons. But one thing it means is that there's no "author" or definitive authority on using Flask or Python. And so, there's no one to officially validate your skill or knowledge in using them. Some courses offer a certificate of completion, but there are no officially recognized IT industry certifications related to Python Flask.

What's the best way to study and learn Python Flask?

The best way to study Python Flask is twofold: knowledge and skills. To learn Flask, you first have to know about web development and Python – so you'll want a course that explains that background knowledge. Then, you'll want to practice – there's no point to learning Flask without having actual practice with it. You should find practice projects and virtual simulations where you can build projects in increasing complexity and get feedback on them.

Who is this for?

This Python Flask training is considered associate-level Python training, which means it was designed for software developers. This flask skills course is designed for software developers with three to five years of experience with Python web framework.

What our learners say

When learning a new technology, people sometimes build a wall that complicates the learning process because of the unknown. I like tearing down that wall — and having people fall in love with that technology.
