We got through quite a lot of material in this first chapter! We did some initial setup and house-keeping and then wrote our first web application using Flask. We saw this run locally and then discussed how to use Git to copy our code to a server. We configured our server to serve our application to the public; however, our application is merely a static page that prints the "Hello, World!" string to whoever visits our page. This is not useful to many people and could be achieved more simply using a static HTML page. However, with the extra effort we put in, we now have all the power of Python behind our application; we're just not using it yet!
In the next chapter, we'll discover how to take advantage of Python to make our web applications more useful!
