## What it is
The companion repository for the 'REST APIs with Flask and Python' course and e-book, containing section-by-section project code and course notes. It teaches building professional REST APIs with Flask, Flask-Smorest, Flask-SQLAlchemy, PostgreSQL, and Docker.

## Use cases
- learn how to build REST APIs with Flask and Python
- find example code for Flask-Smorest and Flask-SQLAlchemy projects
- follow a structured course on building APIs with PostgreSQL and Docker
- get a Python refresher alongside API development
- see how to document APIs with Swagger/OpenAPI
- learn to containerize a Flask API with Docker

## When to choose
- you want guided, up-to-date tutorial material for building REST APIs in Python
- you prefer learning by coding along with section-by-section project code
- you need a reference of working Flask + SQLAlchemy + Docker examples

## When to avoid
- you need a production-ready API framework or template to deploy directly
- you want a standalone library to install as a dependency
- you are not interested in the paid Udemy course and only want free standalone docs

## Facets
- artifact type: learning-resource
- maturity: active
- function: web-framework, orm, http-server, documentation, testing
- domain: web-development, backend, education, apis, tutorials
