Question

How can i create a safe environment to create new and play with my web applications?

My ingredients so far: python,flask,github,heroku — I have effectively created a app using flask and heroku (it just says hello world)

I have some knowledge of python. Have read through but hardly understand the flaskr tutorial for Flask. I do however envision that i’m going to be very frustrated if i can’t have some kind of version history of my stumblings.

Without being sure i feel like the recipe might include: Github and virtualenv and some coping pasting of directories…

whats a recommended way to do this?

Answer 1

Just setup a GitHub repository and start hacking away with Flask.

Some pointers:

• Use SQLAlchemy for database operations. It’s secure and easy to use.
• Either dive right into your project or make some simple test ones with Flask. It’s a really beautiful framework to work with and is easy to learn, so just try to accomplish some simple tasks and get used to how it works.
