Projects: Module 02 — Flask Fundamentals¶

Project 1 — Personal Blog (Beginner)¶

Difficulty: Beginner Estimated Time: 4–6 hours

Build a simple blog with Flask. Use Jinja2 templates for the HTML. Organize the code into at least two Blueprints: one for public-facing pages and one for admin pages. Use the application factory pattern. Store posts in a Python list (no database yet — that comes in Module 03).

Acceptance Criteria: - GET / lists all blog posts (title, date, excerpt) - GET /posts/<slug> shows a single post - Jinja2 template inheritance with a base layout (header, footer, nav) - At least two Blueprints registered on the app - Application factory pattern (create_app())
