Introduction to Web Dev

Flask is a lightweight and flexible Python web framework that simplifies web development by providing essential tools for building robust applications without unnecessary overhead.

It follows the Model-View-Controller (MVC) pattern, allowing developers to create routes for handling HTTP requests, render templates with Jinja2, and integrate databases like SQLAlchemy for data management.

Ideal for beginners and small to medium-sized projects, Flask emphasizes modularity through extensions for features like authentication, form handling, and RESTful APIs, enabling rapid development and production.
