My first flask app - an expense and budgeting tool - Tendie Tracker.

Hi all,

I spent almost 3 months working on a replacement for my expense/budgeting Excel file and yesterday I went live with it! It's called Tendie Tracker and is hosted on heroku. I wanted to polish it up and have it 'portfolio worthy' so I also made a domain and used Webflow and some other tools to give it a professional polish.

* Landing page: https://www.tendietracker.com/

* Heroku app: https://tendie-tracker.herokuapp.com/register

* Repo: https://github.com/eddyharrington/Tendie-Tracker

Let me know what you think. I'd especially appreciate eyes on my code or repo structure. Or even suggestions on what kind of things I should learn next for Flask. I'm eyeing the mega flask tutorial and Harvard's web dev course that transitions from Flask to Django.

Thanks in advance.

How to start Jupyter Notebook again after Ctrl + C?

Hi,

I'm new to learning Python and just got Jupyter on my Mac. I read that the way to exit out of Jupyter (really slows down my computer!) is to do "Ctrl + C". However, how do I start Jupyter again? Typing "jupyter notebook" in terminal doesn't seem to work anymore. I have to terminate terminal, open that up again, and then type "jupyter notebook". I'm using Python 3.8.3 btw.

Also, any thoughts on the Python courses on Lynda? My school

Thanks!

Order of steps taken while building a Django site

If you were building a small, basic social media website, similar to Facebook but stripped down a whole lot, how would you approach the project?

Assume that the models/tables are already laid out on paper and you have mockups for each html page.

In what order do you create/build/work on the following items?

* views
* urls
* models
* html templates/pages (and forms - although maybe those are separate)
* user authentication
* password change/reset
* creating various app folders
* admin panel and superuser
* static files
* polish up and complete any fancy css that you may want

I'm trying to come with a general set of steps, or a recipe if you will, to follow.

Flask Form To SQL Server - 400 Bad Request

Hi everyone,

In my current project I have a Flask form I'm trying to send to a SQL server.

I am successfully pulling data from the SQL server (using pyodbc ) for employee data but it's a form for adding employees that's causing me a headache.

`@app.route('/add-employee', methods=['POST'])`

`def add_employee():`

`if request.method == "POST":`

`employee_id = request.form['employee_id']`

`first_name = request.form['first_name'],`

`surname = request.form['surname'],`

`location = request.form['location'],`

`reports_to = request.form['reports_to'],`

`business_unit = request.form['business_unit'],`

`address_1 = request.form['address_1'],`

`address_2 = request.form['address_2'],`

`address_3 = request.form['address_3'],`

`eircode = request.form['eircode'],`

`mobile_number = request.form['mobile_number'],`

`alt_email_address = request.form['alt_email_address'],`

`pps_number = request.form['pps_number']`

`insert_query = '''INSERT INTO hr_employee_data (employee_id, first_name, surname, address_1, address_2, address_3, eircode, mobile_number, employment_status, gender, start_date, birth_date, pps_number , holiday_allowance, service_days, alt_email_address, emergency_contact, emergency_number, working_day_hours, working_days, job_title, location, reports_to, business_unit, part_orfulltime, handbook_received , induction_form, prob_expiry, prob_completed, salary, salary_changedate, pension, healthcare, bonus_scheme, company_vehicle, vehicle_details, vehicle_issuedate, other_assets, asset_details , asset_issuedate, profile_url, username, password) VALUES (?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?);'''`

`cursor = cnxn.cursor()`

`cursor.execute(insert_query, (first_name, surname, location, reports_to, business_unit, address_1 , address_2, address_3, eircode, mobile_number, alt_email_address, pps_number))`

`cnxn.commit()`

`return redirect (url_for('hr_homepage'))`

`return render_template("add-employee.html")`

I am aiming to have two pages for the forms so I have tried changing the insert\_query to only the fields I need for this page but when I submit, it still gives me the 400 Bad

Convincing a (dinosaur) organization to adopt Flask?

Has anyone had any experience introducing such technologies into their organization? I've been amazed by what web applications (i.e. Flask) can do in terms of customisability and dB management, and want to share it with my company.

However, they have the usual concerns of security and all.

While there is login functionality present, what else can I use to market the security of the entire application?b

Everybody knows that instagram is made with django but why can we not see all that input tags in the page source of their sign up page if I assume that they use django forms. Also we cannot see any hard-coded text on the website like that "Instagram" header or "sign up to see photos videos...".

Why is the documentation so hard to navigate?

Like seriously. It's a complete mess.

There should be a sidebar with each concept neatly organized. For example, check out the \[Bootstrap Documentation\]([https://getbootstrap.com/docs/4.5/getting-started/introduction/](https://getbootstrap.com/docs/4.5/getting-started/introduction/))

Nice, neatly organized sidebar. It's simple, minimal and easy to find stuff.

But Django decides to be unique by not having a sidebar and instead scattering links everywhere. If you don't think it's bad, go to [https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/3.0/](https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/3.0/) and find the neat, organized section on how to use Django with postgresql. Because I couldn't find it and had to watch a YouTube tutorial instead. It should not suck this bad.

Don't get me wrong. Django is a beautiful, well-made web framework. I just think its documentation should be organized better.

Fast QR-ticket scanning

Not sure if this is the right place to ask, as i suspect the solution maybe isn't directly related to Django, however maybe someone has had a similar situation.


I have developed a very simple ticket system with QR-codes on a django website. It works by simply creating QR-codes which contains the link to register the attendance of that particular ticket, which must be done with an admin account.
A link looks like: mysite.com/qr-ticket/register/<event\_id>/<ticket\_id>.


This works rather well, with the exception of the registry process being a little slower than desired. Each time a QR-code is scanned, the person scanning has to open the link and visit the website in order to register attendance. What I ideally would want is that when the QR-code is scanned (by a phone), a post request is sent to the server, which returns a response of success/fail or something similar, i.e. not needing to visit the website in order to register attendance. Does anyone know of a clever way to achieve this, without developing a custom app?

Promises in the backend

I've been using Flask which doesn't have async built in. Lately I have been comparing Flask to other backend frameworks like ExpressJS which does have async built in as it is JavaScript based. My question is for a backend framework do you actually need async features that often? One of the only use case I can think of is if you wanted the backend to fetch some APIs. Are there any other times you would really need async in the backend as part of your web framework? Thanks.
