Python (Flask) Web App with SQLite Database

A Python web app that uses the Flask framework and SQLite database for data persistence to store a users top 10 movies based on the entered rating out of 10. Utilized SQLAlchemy/SQL and Flask to practice decorators, routes, and database connectivity. Although not deployed, the project served as a valuable practice exercise for understanding web development concepts and building robust backend functionality. Strengthened skills in web development frameworks, database connectivity, and data persistence using Flask and SQLAlchemy.
