Key Projects

• Personal Portfolio Website: Create a web application using Flask to showcase your projects, skills, and experience. This project will help you implement routing, templating, and form handling.
• Blog Application: Build a simple blog using Django, where users can create accounts, write posts, and comment on articles. This project will teach you about user authentication, database integration, and CRUD operations.
• RESTful API: Develop a RESTful API using Flask to manage a collection of resources, such as a book library. This project doesn’t require a front end and focuses on building and testing APIs.

Python Code Examples

        
            # Example code for a simple Flask Personal Portfolio Website
            from flask import Flask, render_template

            app = Flask(__name__)

            @app.route('/')
            def home():
                return render_template('portfolio.html')

            if __name__ == '__main__':
                app.run(debug=True)
        
    

        
            # Example code for a Django Blog application
            from django.db import models

            class Post(models.Model):
                title = models.CharField(max_length=200)
                content = models.TextField()
                created_at = models.DateTimeField(auto_now_add=True)

            class Comment(models.Model):
                post = models.ForeignKey(Post, on_delete=models.CASCADE)
                content = models.TextField()
                created_at = models.DateTimeField(auto_now_add=True)
        
    

        
            # Example code for a Flask RESTful API
            from flask import Flask, jsonify, request

            app = Flask(__name__)

            books = []

            @app.route('/books', methods=['GET', 'POST'])
            def handle_books():
                if request.method == 'POST':
                    book = request.json
                    books.append(book)
                    return jsonify(book), 201
                return jsonify(books)

            if __name__ == '__main__':
                app.run(debug=True)
        
    

Real-World Applications

Python web development is extensively utilized across various industries. Here are some practical applications:

• E-commerce Platforms: Many e-commerce websites are built using Django or Flask due to their robust features and ability to handle large databases and user requests efficiently.
• Content Management Systems: Platforms like Wagtail are built on Django, providing a powerful interface for managing content dynamically.
• Data Visualization Platforms: Use Python to build web applications that visualize data analytics results, allowing users to understand complex data through interactive charts and graphs.
• Web APIs for Mobile Applications: Many mobile apps rely on RESTful APIs developed with Flask or Django to retrieve and send data, enabling seamless interactions between clients and servers.
