This short course is designed to equip learners with foundational skills in Python for developing AI-enabled web applications using the Flask framework and Watson AI libraries. You will explore the end-to-end lifecycle of building scalable web applications, starting from writing clean and modular Python code to deploying complete AI-powered solutions.
The course begins by introducing Flask, a lightweight and flexible web framework, and helps learners build a strong foundation in web applications, APIs, and the overall development lifecycle. They will gain practical experience with the IBM Skills Network Cloud IDE, learn Python best practices including static code analysis, and write and run unit tests to ensure the reliability of their code. The course dives deeper into application development by teaching learners to build web applications with Flask covering topics such as routing, handling GET and POST requests, dynamic routes, and error management. By the end of the course, learners will complete a practice project and a final peer-reviewed project that showcases their ability to develop, test, and deploy AI-powered Flask applications. The hands-on experience gained throughout this course ensures learners are not only confident in their Python and Flask skills but are also ready to build intelligent web applications in real-world settings.

Short but sweet. An excellent course for a solid basis for Python and use of IBM Watson services. Highly recommend.

This course inspired me to work extremely hard to hone my coding skills. I really appreciate the opportunity to take this course and wish the course team more success in the future endeavors!

Mind bending progressive skill set from IBM. Wow! Am so grateful to be exposed to the talent here as a curious student. :-)
RF
too many ambiguous tasks and missing screen shots with the various coding task - took far longer than it should have to identify errors and track down what should have been coded

This is a great course in teaching actual programming skills in Python. It is the most time-consuming course so far in the series but is well deserved.
SR
Plz update the course labs since the versions used in the instructions are old andgives al lot of error for users now
MK
Just awesome . Its extensive course to develop and experience runnable instance development and deployment were very helpful to give a boast to my confidence
PL
Some instructions in the final project are confusing and the python3 tests.py command shows errors with tls version
JW
This course is great. It largely helped me understanding how to use Flask. I would suggest to add a bit more explanation for the frontend files. I enjoyed doing the final project.
LZ
Help build a good foundation to explore deeper into the topic. Well developed practice project and final project.
SR
I really enjoyed this course! The videos are pretty dry, but I really enjoyed the hands-on nature of the course. Lots of projects and practice doing stuff. I learned a lot!

if you are not a developer or have an understanding of the terminology this is very hard. But, if you put the time and effort in, it's gratifying. Help is limited.
