The Flask Mega-Tutorial

> If you are on Linux, OS X or Cygwin, install flask and extensions by entering the following commands, one after another I think this is a really bad advice. Instead create a file called requirements.txt and add the required livraries, one per line. Then you can install it with flask/bin/pip install - r requirements.txt Edit: More information in the documentation[0] [0]: http://www.pip-installer.org/en/latest/requirements.html

Flask Mega-Tutorial author here. This was a surprise. :) Happy to see people continue to find my tutorial useful and relevant. If you have any questions, I'll be happy to answer.

Miguel's Mega-Tutorial was invaluable to me when I was learning Flask circa 2011-2012. It's a great resource. That said, IMHO, if you're going to implement a simple CRUD app in Python, you may as well just use Django. Django includes all of the "batteries" for handling forms, authentication, databases (the ORM), etc. right out of the box. I think Flask has its place; but when it becomes a simple reimplementation of Django, I'm not sure I see the point.

This tutorial is great. I use flask, its excellent! I tried Django first and it never felt right. The flask documentation is pretty good, and its working great for us. I highly recommend flask.
