How to Create WebApp for Smart Sensors:Python

Hi, my name is Henrique and recently I made a side project for a hospital where a smart thermometer notify a employee when the blood refrigerator get its temperature off the expected. The only part of the project that i was not involved was the creation of the web app, so i made one as a proof of concept and it turned out so great that i made a tutorial. So if you watch carefully you are going teach you how to make a web app using flask that interacts with a mqtt broker.

Overview

How to create a web app using flask

Introduction

This tutorial will cover how to work with flask and how to create a simple API and a web app that notify the user when a event is triggered. During the tutorial you will learn how to setup the environment both for Windows and for Linux, understand how flask work and how to build applications with it.

What are the requirements?

Basic Python and SQL
A idea of what is a API
Desire to learn ;D

You should see this tutorial if you want :

Learn how to do APIs for your projects
Make a web app based on flask
Keep up with new tools and want to be updated

I'll stream Weekly 5pm EST on Monday and Friday

Project Outline

Session 1: Setting-up the Environment

Setting up the programming environment for windows
Setting up the programming environment for linux

Session 2: Understanding Flask - Building a simple API Here we will:

Meet the mock
Understand MQTT
Making a simple API

Session 3: Making a (really) simple webapp

Before building the final project we are going to make a simpler one to get the core concepts.

We will be following steps;

Meet the app
Recovering Info
Delivering info

Session 4: Getting Dirty

Its time to make the real web app using the concepts of the two sessions before.

Session 5: Making a push

There are just two things left to do here, the one that we are going to cover today is the part of the app that send notifications to the users.

Understanding Push
Getting allowance
Sending notification

Session 6: Thinking of security

This part is not mainly about the app but to make it secure, so we are going to work with auth and cookies. But believe, it is really important to know about it.

Understanding Cookies
Making a simple auth
Understanding security

Section 5: Review

There is no script here, today is devoted to sane doubts and explain any points that were not understood in the previous sessions.

Tools used:

Mosquitto
