I've found SAAS-like applications (user registrations, emails, forms) aren't where Flask is most useful. Where it really shines is small API's and services. Easy to test, designed to be "little", handle JSON really well. There are also lots of extensions for things like making Redis easier to deal with, as noted in the Kickstarter.
I'd love to see the book incorporate some of those strengths — small, compartmentalized applications — instead of building an app similar to what you'd see in a Rails tutorial.
- rpicard 13y agoThe book actually isn't going to have a single example app. Each of the chapters will stand on it's own as a reference for a particular topic. It's similar to how Two Scoops of Django is organized. I'm definitely going to have a chapter on building a REST API. You can see a more complete (not comprehensive or set in stone) list of topics at the bottom of the Kickstarter page: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1223051718/practical-flask-book-project http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1223051718/practical-fla...
