[Tutor] Need reference materials to learn flask + python for payroll project that would run both in windows (PC) and android/iOS.

[isaac tetteh]

"Project that will run on both windows and android/iso" if mean its responsiveness then flask cannot do that but css3, javascript(Angular), twitter-bootstrap can help you do that. But if you mean like a desktop/ phone app then maybe check another framework.

I have a basic knowledge in Python and I would like to enhance it by
engaging in a payroll project. For you to gauge my coding level, I finished
the Python course at codecademy.com<http://codecademy.com> but it was 2-3 years ago. Since then I
haven't coded aside from HTML.

I don;t have a lot on Flask, I only read the tutorial stuff
on the Flask web site and watched a couple of YouTube videos.

So, I would appreciate if you could provide me a series of topics that
would help me code my first python project and be online at the end of it.

To build a payroll application requires quite a lot of skills, usually
including a database of some kind and a lot of security type stuff. Do
you have experience in either of those areas? Also you need to test it
really thoroughly, especially around areas involving legal rules (like
taxes, overtime rates, max/min hours etc etc.) It's not something I'd
choose as a first project unless you are only doing a very simplistic
payslip viewer or similar - and even then data protection legislation
will likely still be applicable.
