Backend Development Workshop

Presented at 12pm on June 18th, 2022 (EDT)

Learn how to quickly plan, build, and deploy a backend in Python using Flask, and then integrate it with a React frontend. In this workshop you will learn to create a todo list webapp complete with lists and tags.

Note: This workshop will NOT teach you how to build the frontend. We will just be connecting the frontend to the backend.

Once the workshop has concluded, each stage will be available in the following branches:

• stage-1: dictionary storage
• stage-2: database storage
• stage-3: adding lists
• stage-4: adding tags
• stage-5: deployment
• everything: everything, including the frontend and database resetting service

Pre-requisites

• Python 3 installed (>= 3.8)
• An IDE you're comfortable using (PyCharm, VSCode, Atom, etc.)
• A Railway account
• The railway tool installed and authenticated
