- ✅ Use AJAX / Fetch API
- ✅ Optional: Integrate with React/Vue (for advanced UI)
☁️ Phase 9: Deployment
- ✅ Hosting on PythonAnywhere (for Flask)
- ✅ Heroku or Render for small projects
- ✅ Deploy Django on DigitalOcean or AWS (EC2)
- ✅ Docker (basics)
- ✅ Set up NGINX + Gunicorn
🔐 Phase 10: Advanced Concepts
- ✅ WebSockets with Flask-SocketIO / Django Channels
- ✅ Celery for Background Tasks
- ✅ Caching with Redis
- ✅ Unit Testing with
pytest/unittest - ✅ CI/CD (GitHub Actions)
📚 Bonus Tools & Libraries
- Jinja2 – Templating engine
- SQLAlchemy – ORM for Flask
- Django REST Framework – API development
- Flask-Mail / Django Email backend
- Stripe/PayPal API – Payments
- Django AllAuth – Social Login
🧪 Practice Projects (Highly Recommended)
- Blog Website with Comments & Likes
- Task Manager (To-do App)
- Weather App (API integration)
- Student Portal with Admin Dashboard
- E-commerce Store with Cart & Orders
- Hotel Booking System
- Chat App using WebSockets
✅ Final Tip:
Master one framework first (Flask or Django) instead of trying to learn both at once. Django is more full-featured, while Flask offers flexibility.
