What You'll Learn
In this module, you'll build a sophisticated Flask application organized with blueprints. You'll create four distinct features: a stock ticker tracker that fetches live market prices, a weather app that gets current temperatures, a movie database with detailed information and images, and an AI-powered chatbot. Each blueprint will demonstrate how to structure modular Flask applications and integrate external APIs effectively.
