make:view Videos#
This page collects the page-first workflow videos. It starts with simple template and routing work, then moves into smarter prompts, first-resource building, and nested view structure.
Use the checkbox on each card to track what you have finished. If a video plays to the end, the page will mark it watched automatically in your browser.
flask make:view#
Intro to flask make:view Unwatched
What `flask make:view` does in broad terms, why it is such a useful page-first starting point, and how the command can grow from a simple template into fuller application structure.

When make:view is the right starting point Unwatched
When the page-first workflow is the easiest way to start, especially when you want to see interface structure before deeper controller or model work.

GET vs POST for RESTful Actions with make:view#
Get Actions Render Pages Unwatched
