Web Apps

Django is a high-level Python web framework designed for rapid development of secure and maintainable websites. Created in 2003 and released publicly in 2005, it follows the "batteries-included" philosophy, providing almost everything developers need to build web applications out of the box.

Django is known for its emphasis on the DRY (Don't Repeat Yourself) principle and promotes reusable code. It scales well from small projects to large enterprise applications, making it popular with companies like Instagram, Pinterest, Mozilla, and The Washington Post.

Flask is a lightweight Python Web Framework designed to make getting started with web development quick and easy, while still being powerful enough for complex applications. Created in 2010 by Armin Ronacher as an April Fool's joke that evolved into a serious project, Flask is known for its simplicity and flexibility.

Unlike Django's "batteries-included" approach, Flask follows a "bring your own tools" philosophy, giving developers more freedom to choose components that fit their specific needs. This makes Flask ideal for smaller projects, APIs, microservices, and situations where customization is prioritized over convention.
