Cultivate a Python Flask webserver and bring it to life with Azure! Ep 3

16 August, 2022 | 6:00 AM - 6:30 AM (UTC) Coordinated Universal Time

Topic: Coding, Languages, and Frameworks

Language: English

This month in the Code Garden, Renee will show you how to grow your very own Python Flask webserver and deploy a website with Azure Apps service.

Week 1: Build a webserver with Python Flask! Create routes and serve HTML templates to make a dynamic web experience. Learn about GET requests, and how to serve up personalised sites.

Week 2: Take the Python Flask site we built last week and deploy it on the internet for all to see, with Azure Apps Service. Then make it your own by adding a custom domain.

Week 3: Web Servers are more than a way to serve up sites, you can use them to built your own APIs too! Learn how to use POST requests and see how you can return more than just HTML to make a useful service for yourself or others.

In episode 2 of the series we'll take the Python Flask webserver we built in episode 1 and deploy that to the web with GitHub and Azure Apps Service. See how to set up your site to auto-deploy, and even add a custom domain to it!
