What You Will Learn Use the virtualenv Python package to effectively isolate your development environments Convert a simple one-file Flask application into a more full-fledged multi-package application Integrate Flask-Login for simple user authentication, Flask-WTF for forms, and Flask-SQLAlchemy for database interactions Explore URL routing and dispatching in a blueprint structured application Create your own signals and consume them within your application Learn to leverage Werkzeug, the WSGI library that powers much of Flask Implement custom exceptions for handling non-20x response codes Write your own CLI tools for administrative and development tasks of your Flask application using Flask-Script/Click Build your Flask extensions to encapsulate reusable behaviors across your applications Integrate your application with open source JavaScript-based graphing libraries to create simple data visualizations In Detail Flask is a small but powerful web development framework for Python. Though Flask is termed a micro-framework, it is no way lacking in functionality; there are many extensions available to Flask which helps it to function at the same level as other large frameworks such as Django and Ruby on Rails. This book will demonstrate how to develop a series of web application projects with the Python web micro-framework, and leverage extensions and external Python libraries and APIs to extend the development of a variety of larger and more complex web applications. The book will start by explaining Python's Virtualenv library and how to create and switch between multiple virtual environments. You'll first build an SQL database-backed application, which will use Flask-WTF, Flask-SQLAlchemy, Jinja templates, and other methods. Next you'll move on to a timeline application, built using concepts including pytest-Flask, the Blinker package, data modelling for user timelines, exception handling, and creating and organizing CLI tools. Moving on, you'll discover how to implement a photo timeline application where you'll explore topics such as writing and running celery tasks, API error handling and testing, and Werkzeug middlewares. Finally, the book walks you through creating an application which fetches data from GitHub and stores it locally. You will also learn how to install and configure Flask-Click extension. Style and approach This book covers how to effectively use the Flask micro-framework to develop a series of web applications.

This guide is intended to take your first steps with Flask using Python; with this, we are going to propose two things: It is not a book that aims to know Flask 100%, or from zero to expert, since it would be too big an objective for the scope of this guide, otherwise, to know what it offers us and create the first web applications with Flask , know its extensions, create an API, use Jinja2 among others... It is assumed that the reader has at least basic knowledge of Python development. This book has a practical approach, knowing the key aspects of the technology and moving into practice, gradually implementing small features of an application that has real scope. To follow this book you need to have a computer with Windows, Linux or MacOS. The book is currently in development. This book consists of 20 chapters, with which we will learn in detail the most important and basic features of Flask: Chapter 1: In this chapter we will give an introduction to Python, knowing its basic characteristics and functionalities such as variables, data types, functions, classes, among others. Chapter 2: In this chapter we are going to present the software necessary to create projects in Flask, what happens from Python, to preparing the environment, the editor that we will use, VSC and a web browser. Chapter 3: We present some essential commands to develop in Flask, we will prepare the environment and give an introduction to the framework, we will create a structure for the project in Flask and we will get a basic understanding of the routing for the controllers. Chapter 4: In this chapter we will see how to use the template engine par excellence in Flask, which is Jinja, with which we can return responses in HTML format and customize the page with embedded Python code with which we can customize using blocks, filters, macros, among others. Chapter 5: In this chapter we will see how to connect an application in Flask to a relational database such as MySQL using SQLAlchemy; We will see how to configure a database, connection through the models, generation of automatic migrations based on the models and basic CRUD operations to manipulate the database. Chapter 6: In this chapter we will install the Flask Migrate extension to configure a migration system for the project and in this way be able to customize the tables and have a robust schema to be able to make changes to the database in a practical and scalable way, in addition to be able to create a trace with these changes. Chapter 7: In this chapter we will use the Form WTF extension to create forms, apply validations, initial values and later dump this data into the database, these forms are classes with the aforementioned attributes and in this way we can apply the same schema for server and client side data manipulation. Chapter 8: In this chapter we will see how to use one-to-one, one-to-many and many-to-many relationships in Flask with SQLAlchemy. Chapter 9: In this chapter we will see how to use flash messages useful to inform the user about the operations carried out. Chapter 10: In this chapter we will use Flask Login to create an authentication system and protect drivers. Chapter 11: In this chapter we will see how to implement a Rest Api using the Restful Flash package, generate access tokens and make test connections. Chapter 12: In this chapter we will see how to implement unit tests that are part of the development of any application. To do this, we will use the Pytest package available for Python. Chapter 13: In this chapter we will integrate the Bootstrap 5 web framework to our project in Flask, in this way, we will see how to use both technologies together and we will apply styles to the forms, lists, navigation menu, among others. Chapter 14: In this chapter we will use Flask Babel to add a multilanguage system to the application, to give the application the ability to use more than one language. Chapter 15: In this chapter we will learn about several Flask extensions that we have not used until this chapter, such as cache, CLI, a debug banner, email, among others. Chapter 16: In this chapter we will learn how to create custom decorators to use in controllers. Chapter 17: In this chapter we will integrate a role system into the application, in addition to this, we will enhance the user profile with several options such as the option to change the password, social networks, address, preferred language, among others. Chapter 18: In this chapter we are going to learn about some operations on the database using SQLAlchemy, in addition to knowing how to use the Flask shell. Chapter 19: In this chapter we are going to learn how to use files to manage environment variables in Flask. Chapter 20: In this chapter we are going to create our first experiment which will be a filter to filter by search term, category and tag.

Claire Keegan’s brilliant debut collection, Antarctica, was a Los Angeles Times Book of the Year, and earned her resounding accolades on both sides of the Atlantic. Now she has delivered her next, much-anticipated book, Walk the Blue Fields, an unforgettable array of quietly wrenching stories about despair and desire in the timeless world of modern-day Ireland. In the never-before-published story “The Long and Painful Death,” a writer awarded a stay to work in Heinrich Böll’s old cottage has her peace interrupted by an unwelcome intruder, whose ulterior motives only emerge as the night progresses. In the title story, a priest waits at the altar to perform a marriage and, during the ceremony and the festivities that follow, battles his memories of a love affair with the bride that led him to question all to which he has dedicated his life; later that night, he finds an unlikely answer in the magical healing powers of a seer. A masterful portrait of a country wrestling with its past and of individuals eking out their futures, Walk the Blue Fields is a breathtaking collection from one of Ireland’s greatest talents, and a resounding articulation of all the yearnings of the human heart.
