Introduction to HTML and CSS
Get started creating web pages with HTML and CSS, the basic building blocks of web development. HTML, or HyperText Markup Language, is a standard set of tags you will use to tell the web browser how the content of your web pages and applications are structured. Use CSS, or Cascading Style Sheets, to select HTML tags and tell the browser what your content should look like. Whether you are coding for fun or planning to start a career in web development, learning HTML and CSS is a great place to start.

Using Databases in Python
When you want to store data from a program, you have two general choices: files or databases. In this course, we're going to explore using a database from within Python by using the excellent ORM Peewee. We'll build a command line diary application that stores our thoughts and notes in a SQLite database, lets us review and delete them, and even has a search feature!

A Social Network with Flask
It's time to dig in and build something big. In this course, we're going to take the tools we've learned, Flask, Peewee, and Python itself, and build a small social network. We'll have user registration, user authentication, strongly hashed passwords, form validation, and more.

Flask REST API
Building an API with Flask can be pretty simple but you'll often end up with a large amount of code in just one or two files. In other words, it can be messy! But with a few simple tools like Flask-RESTFul, Flask-Limiter, and Flask-HTTPAuth, you can build a clean, well-organized, and strong API with this great, lightweight Python framework.

Track Completion
Exploring Flask with Peewee
Want to turn your Python programs into web sites and apps? Flask is the little framework that can. With a low barrier to entry, tons of handy packages, and a fast start up, Flask is the go to web framework for many Python developers.
By the end of the track, you'll know the basics of Python, how to install and start using Flask, how to use a database with Python and your Flask app, and more.
We'll begin with some courses in Python fundamentals, including material on Python tuples, sequences, dictionaries, functions, and packing and unpacking. These courses will get you up to speed on the Python language before diving into Flask.
Next, we'll cover front end development basics, like HTML, CSS, and HTTP.
Then, you'll dive full-on into Flask with our Flask Basics course. We'll cover the basics of Git and of using databases in Python, as well.
The next course will have you build a simple social network using Flask. We'll have user registration, user authentication, strongly hashed passwords, form validation, and more.
Finally, we'll walk through REST API basics and building a REST API with Flask using Flask-RESTFul, Flask-Limiter, and Flask-HTTPAuth.
