Course Description
Do you want to build interactive web applications quickly and simply?
Python with Flask, HTMX, TailwindCSS, and AlpineJS is a complete stack of technologies to build interactive, engaging web applications without having to write (almost) any JavaScript.
This means you can use your existing Python knowledge without having to learn a completely new language to build your web project.
Traditionally, building a web application without JavaScript would mean a slow and sluggish experience, with lots of page reloads at every button or link click.
With HTMX and AlpineJS, we can avoid almost all page reloads, and craft server-side rendered applications that feel fast, responsive, and engaging.
This includes things like adding pagination, hiding and showing elements, and updating page state.
Adding TailwindCSS into the mix will help us write our CSS quickly and efficiently.
In the course, we build an RSS feed reader that loads data from the internet to display articles from feeds you follow. It's a great project to get familiar with these technologies, and in no time you'll be building your own interactive web applications.
The course contains:
Use Flask to create a web application.
CSS fundamentals and how to apply them with TailwindCSS.
Avoid page reloads with HTMX by making requests to your backend and swapping parts of the page content.
Add in-page interactivity simply with AlpineJS using state and event dispatching.
Learn about CSS flex and grid to create a commonly used page structure with a sidebar and main content.
I'm sure you'll enjoy this course. See you on the inside!

Hi, I'm Jose! I love helping students learn to code and master software development. I've been teaching online for over 10 years, and I founded Teclado to bring software development to everyone—my objective is for you to truly understand everything that goes on behind the scenes.
Coding is extremely rewarding. As you learn, things start to click and make sense. You can join the dots of all the things that weren't quite clear before. I'm here to make that journey quick and painless!
I can help you with Python and JavaScript issues, particularly in web and backend development. I'm experienced with programming libraries and frameworks like Flask, Django, FastAPI, React, React Native, and AngularJS. I've worked extensively with UNIX systems, MongoDB, PostgreSQL, and advanced system architecture design.

Quick course, and also concise and to the point explanations.
By Andrea Dalseno on 6/12/2025
Excellent video. It provides a short but comprehensive overview of the topics and how they can be combined to achieve the desired outcome. Highly recommended!
By Stuwert Patterson on 4/8/2025
This very short course is not the best in the series from this instructor tbh. It's very short, and not worth the full price imho. I very much preferred the Flask API course from the same instructor, which was excellent in contrast to this one.
By James McBean on 3/1/2025
Enjoyed the course! More in-depth coverage of HTMX would have been helpful.
By Christoph Schüring on 1/7/2025
i like the idea of htmx and alpine.js and hoped this course help me to start with this libs. but for this course you need to know basics of both before. this course really needs seperate lectures for htmx and alpine.js.
By Arnie Chitwa Astrill on 9/19/2024
Absolutely worth my time. Came here to see how t learn how to leverage htmx on Python and let's just say that Jose Salvatierra did an amazing job teaching me this to a point where i went forth and implemented this on my FastAPI app that needed to do some rendering such as the ones on this course.
By Juan Boirazian on 2/16/2024
Good course , but i would have preferred more in depth explanation of HTMX
By Scott Lasley on 1/25/2024
