// Q & A //
~ If I wanna try out flask at an upcoming hackathon, whats the best resource to get started?
I've always found the documentation useful which you can find here:
http://flask.pocoo.org/
And also these video tutorials:
~ How would I make a flask rest api?
Take a look at this useful tutorial:
http://blog.miguelgrinberg.com/post/designing-a-restful-api-with-python-and-flask
~ Whats the best db to integrate with flask?
The most popular ORM for non-Django web applications is SQLAlchemy by far,
but there are plenty of other options from DynamoDB and MongoDB to
simple local persistence like LevelDB or plain SQLite.
~ Is flask the same thing as a django? Difference?
With Flask, you will explicitly write your own route functions,
make your routes render templates, etc. all using Python functions
you're already familiar with. There is little "magic". You can see
exactly how everything is happening and understand why it is happening.
Flask documentation is also quite nice and concise so you can read it
and learn Flask in a few hours, spend several evenings learning to make
a full application, and then move on to Django. The time investment is small,
it will give you great preparation for Django, and you'll have learned
about a great micro-framework. I sometimes prototype projects in Flask
before building them in Django.
Django, while more fully featured, has definite structure and convention
so it can be a little more mysterious for a beginner to figure out how
everything fits together. If you're new to web development,
you might have some confusion about whether you're doing something because
its a web development convention or whether you're doing it because its
part of the Django conventions/organization.
If you can spend a few days or a week playing with Flask before moving on
to learning Django (your original goal) I think it is well worth the time.
Both are great frameworks. Welcome to the world of Web Development.
