Setting Up a Flask Application in Visual Studio Code
As a follow up to my Setting Up a Flask Application in PyCharm article, today I'm going to show you how to set up your project with Visual Studio Code (Code, for short), which is a free and open source integrated development environment from Microsoft with great support for Python. Like I did in the previous article, you can see me going through all the required steps to set up an example project in the video below. After the video, I provide a short written summary of the process.

The Ultimate Guide to Python Decorators, Part I: Function Registration
One of the signatures of the Flask framework is its clever use of decorators for common application tasks such as defining routes and error handlers. Decorators give a very concise and readable structure to your code, so much that most Flask extensions and many other Python packages follow the same pattern and expose core parts of their functionality through decorators.
Today I'm starting a series of in-depth posts about different ways in which you can incorporate custom decorators into your Python applications. In this first part I'm going to show you how to create simple decorators that register functions as callbacks for application-specific events.
