General Information

In this mini-course, you will apply basic Python skills using the Flask framework for developing Artificial Intelligence (AI) enabled applications. In this hands-on project you will assume the role of a developer and perform tasks including:

- Developing functions and application logic

- Exchanging data using Watson AI libraries

- Writing unit tests, and

- Packaging the application for distribution

You will demonstrate your foundational Python skills by employing different techniques to develop web applications and AI-powered solutions. After completing this course, you will have another project for your portfolio and gain the confidence to begin developing AI-enabled applications using Python and Flask with Watson AI libraries. You experience building and running unit tests and then package the application for its distribution.

Learning Objectives:

Develop an AI-powered application using basic Python skills
Describe the purpose of unit testing and packaging
Test your Python application
Create a Python package

Prerequisites:

Python Basics course from IBM is a pre-requisite for this project course. Please ensure before taking this course you have either completed the Python Basics course from IBM or have equivalent proficiency in working with Python and data.

NOTE: This course is designed for the learner to apply prior Python knowledge. It is not intended to teach you Python and includes minimal instructional content.
