Flask is a micro web framework written in Python. Applications that use Flask include Pinterest and LinkedIn.
In this presentation, we’ll review the Flask web development from the perspective of a new web developer and build up our understanding “one drop at a time.”

See how easy it is to code microcontrollers with CircuitPython and the Mu development environment.
CircuitPython is a version of Python 3 created to run on small microcontrollers. Mu is a very simple Python writing tool. Put them together and programming micros becomes faster and more fun.
