You will use Flask-SQLAlchemy to connect a database to your web application and work with a weather service API to get the current weather from all over the world. Practice HTML templates with Jinja and handling requests.

This was a pain in the butt but worth it to learn about redirecting

I've learned how to create web applications using Flask, work with Flask-SQLAlchemy, CSS, HTML, pop-up messages, and API requests. Advice: Don't use the code that they give you - do it by yourself and you will improve your skills

There was a lot of lacking information or wrong. Some test was stupid. I think I lost 1 day of debugging to learn that there is test db which is not cleaning itself and then I got test error.
