Just what I wanted to know! Clear, concise, modern and using good practices like venv
However, as the course progresses, I'm getting more frustrated by a lack of refactoring. The presenter says we shouldn't copy & paste but invariably does just that. Opportuinities are lost to introduce the 'with' statement for database access. No discussion of decoupling the database access from the flask API, at least in the early stages

Great going

I'm halfway through the course and can say Jose is a very good instructor. I find the course helpful.

By Zeineb ghrib on 10/23/2020

yes but I just got some python refresh in the previous section, it was very good :)
I still didn't begin the REST-API part

By Ramadhan Triyanto Prabowo on 10/21/2020

Very thorough!

Trainer is absolutely amazing keeping it simple n short to make it more understandable !!

This course was amazing for the biggest part! Unfortunately, the section "Deploying Flask apps to own server" was super confusing and frustrating to follow. Everything worked out, but it was unclear why exactly things were working, why the different steps were performed and how all the different files work together. A (maybe graphical) high-level overview of the interaction of different files and parameters in this sections would have done wonders. Please improve this section, as the content is very interesting, but so frustratingly explained it was no fun to watch this one section at all.
Otherwise this course was very educational, well explained, easy to follow and highly recommendable

Enjoyed the python overview in this course, learnt some new tricks. Thanks!

So far it's been a good course.

By Craig Hawkins on 10/7/2020

I like that the exercises in a testing environment is made available. That is sweet!

By Pasquale Guarino on 10/4/2020

Detailed explanations and nice examples.

By Matt F. on 10/4/2020

I found this course to be extremely frustrating - WOULD NOT RECOMMEND unless you're an advanced python programmer and proficient in object oriented programming. Unfortunately I can't get my money back because I waited too long between purchasing the course and actually taking it.
"review" section is super-weird - if you know python well, you don't need review. If you don't know python well, it is a HORRIBLE section that does a very poor job of explaining fairly advanced python stuff like lambdas, filter fuctions, dictionary comprehensions, etc. and there are very few hands-on exercises.
section 71 is a trainwreck - takes nice, clear code and obsfuscates it beyond comprehension of anyone but an advanced python programmer.
section 94 is also a disaster - so confusing.
