This weeks Data Science Book is " Flask Web Development " by M. Grinberg. One of the often overlooked skills in Data Science is the ability to quickly generate APIs, dashboards and proof of concepts for machine learning model deployment. Flask is a Python-based micro-framework with a straightforward and concise approach that makes it extremely easy to go from idea to working product. This book is designed to take you from being someone who never wrote web code to developing a fully fledged web application. It also some with an up to date repo of code examples to make sure you learn the current best practices.
