Flask Is Slick

For a recent interview, I put together a bunch of python code. Some of it demonstrated simple OOP concepts. Some of it detailed Threading, Multiprocessing, and Subprocesses. Some banged on Pandas to create a decent chart of annual stock prices. Some of it used Quandl to retrieve historical data. Some of it used a REST API to download crude oil reports.

But by far, the coolest demo used Flask to rough-in code for a website.

Flask allows you to use Python (and some unique "template" syntax) to create good-looking websites in record time.

If you'd like to see for yourself, check out the "bp_interview/Flask_Blog" folder in my Misc-python public GitHub repo:

It's not complete: I still need to flesh out the database code (using SQLite for development) and tighten up the security. But it's pretty damn cool. And it was so, so quick to build!
