[MUSIC]

2
00:00:04,649 --> 00:00:07,660
I hope you're ready, cuz this is going to
be our biggest project to date.

3
00:00:07,660 --> 00:00:08,920
Are you ready?

4
00:00:08,920 --> 00:00:10,415
Okay, then let me tell you about it.

5
00:00:10,415 --> 00:00:13,661
We're gonna use flask, and peewee, and
some other packages,

6
00:00:13,661 --> 00:00:15,352
to build a small social network.

7
00:00:15,352 --> 00:00:18,319
Now, this isn't going to be Twitter or
Facebook scale of course, and

8
00:00:18,319 --> 00:00:21,260
we'll still need a lot of tweaks and
improvements once we're done.

9
00:00:21,260 --> 00:00:24,640
But, It'll show all sorts of things that
social networks require.

10
00:00:24,640 --> 00:00:29,850
What we doing, user registration, sign
ups, and user authentication, or log ins.

11
00:00:29,850 --> 00:00:33,630
Cryptographically hashing passwords with a
super strong decrypt library, and

12
00:00:33,630 --> 00:00:36,200
we'll add in the ability to follow and
unfollow people so

13
00:00:36,200 --> 00:00:38,410
you can see or not see their status
updates.

14
00:00:38,410 --> 00:00:41,940
If that sounds like a lot, well, it is.

15
00:00:41,940 --> 00:00:43,040
But I know we're up for the challenge.

16
00:00:43,040 --> 00:00:45,440
The idea for this app is this.

17
00:00:45,440 --> 00:00:49,300
Imagine you work for a company that
doesn't have permanent teams.

18
00:00:49,300 --> 00:00:51,780
One project might involve these three
people over here, and

19
00:00:51,780 --> 00:00:54,840
the next project involves those five
people back in the corner.

20
00:00:54,840 --> 00:00:58,080
You, however, happen to be on both teams.

21
00:00:58,080 --> 00:00:59,560
This company also doesn't like email,

22
00:00:59,560 --> 00:01:03,170
which is a good thing, but you still need
a way to keep up with people.

23
00:01:03,170 --> 00:01:06,619
Your boss comes to you and wants a way for
team to keep up with each other,

24
00:01:06,619 --> 00:01:08,644
so you decide to build a small social app.

25
00:01:08,644 --> 00:01:09,978
Where people can post updates and

26
00:01:09,978 --> 00:01:13,178
just generally keep everyone else up to
date on what's going on in the project.

27
00:01:13,178 --> 00:01:17,449
[SOUND] I suggest doing this entire course
in workspaces.

28
00:01:17,449 --> 00:01:20,443
But if you want to follow along at home,
you can go ahead and

29
00:01:20,443 --> 00:01:22,534
install both flask and peewee with pip.

30
00:01:22,534 --> 00:01:24,497
I'd also suggest using a virtualenv.

31
00:01:24,497 --> 00:01:26,251
Since we'll be installing a lot of
packages, and

32
00:01:26,251 --> 00:01:28,820
you'll want to keep them tidy and
together.

33
00:01:28,820 --> 00:01:30,810
If you haven't taken the previous flask
course, or

34
00:01:30,810 --> 00:01:33,970
the databases course, now would be a good
time to hop over to them.

35
00:01:33,970 --> 00:01:36,610
I've listed them both as requirements for
this course.

36
00:01:36,610 --> 00:01:38,050
All right, our mission is clear.

37
00:01:38,050 --> 00:01:38,550
Let's build it.
