Flask-RESTful or Flask API: Which framework will be used in the "Build a REST API with Flask" course coming this month?

Any major reason behind this shift of priorities? Looking at the upcoming courses, more and more seem to be based around things I'm not interested in (proprietary stuff like IOS development / Unity). I was really looking forward to this class. Are there any more Python classes (or workshops... the recent ones have been pretty great) to come in the next few months?

First of all, I have some bad news. The Flask RESTful API is coming...but not this month. Due to some priority shifts here at Treehouse, it's gonna be delayed for at least a couple of months. I really need to move that on the roadmap.

OK, bad news out of the way, on to the actual question. I haven't actually decided which library I'll use for the API bit. I was thinking about just building it inside Flask itself. No framework at all. Maybe make a library for it?

That, though, would be a lot of work, so we'll probably use a library. I've been looking at flask-potion lately, too, and I think it would be a pretty solid library to use. Both of the ones you posted above seem really solid, too. Flask-RESTful kind of wins just because of cats.

What your thoughts on Flask-Potion?

Kenneth, thanks for ringing in on this -- and thanks for the Flask and Python courses, which I've been digging!

Honestly, I don't know enough to know whether flask-potion is a better option thank Flask-RESTful; so seriously, (and cats out of the equation) which one would you recommend?

For context, I'm trying to apply what I learned from the Flask course to build a Python-based replacement back end for the parts of Parse.com we used in this project from the Objective-C track:

Thanks again,

Cotten

Thanks, Kenneth -- much appreciated!

Folks - thanks for treehouse it has been very helpful for me. I just completed a very complicated social networking site (with PHP as the main server side scripting), the launch of the beta testing will be on the way very soon. However, I am planning on building an Android app for it and I have been taking some Android course, though very helpful.

But, I am really looking for ways to access the website-database using Android app. Will this course help with this knowledge based? And is that what Content negotiation means?

I have very limited knowledge in mobile app - I am trying to catch up. Any feedback will greatly be appreciated!!
