Overview of this book

Developing an interactive, efficient, and fast enterprise web application requires both the right approach and tooling. If you are a web developer looking for a way to tap the power of React’s reusable UI components and the simplicity of Flask for backend development to develop production-ready, scalable web apps in Python, then this book is for you. Starting with an introduction to React, a JavaScript library for building highly interactive and reusable user interfaces, you’ll progress to data modeling for the web using SQLAlchemy and PostgreSQL, and then get to grips with Restful API development. This book will aid you in identifying your app users and managing access to your web application. You’ll also explore modular architectural design for Flask-based web applications and master error-handling techniques. Before you deploy your web app on AWS, this book will show you how to integrate unit testing best practices to ensure code reliability and functionality, making your apps not only efficient and fast but also robust and dependable. By the end of this book, you’ll have acquired deep knowledge of the Flask and React technology stacks, which will help you undertake web application development with confidence.

Modeling data for a speakers’ conference web application

Data modeling is the process of creating a conceptual, logical, and visual representation of data structures and relationships between data elements, in order to understand, analyze, and manage complex information systems. Data modeling involves identifying entities (objects, concepts, or things) that will be represented in a system and defining their attributes and relationships with other entities.

The main purpose of data modeling is to create a clear and precise representation of the data that will be stored, processed, and managed by an information system. A well-designed data model in a web application can ensure that the web application is scalable, efficient, and meets the needs of its users.

Let’s quickly examine some of the best practices to be considered when designing a data model for the conference speakers’ web application:

  • Identifying the entities: Start by identifying the entities...
