Hi Admin,

Welcome to Flask, and welcome to Python.

"What area of python that must be learned before using Flask?"

Having at least a basic grasp of Python is the place to start. And, If 
you're new to Python, the best place to start is the Python 
documentation http://docs.python.org <http://docs.python.org/>.There's a 
nice tutorial, and some good "How To" guides.

Another excellent (and possibly less intimidating) place to start is the 
"Dive into Python" online book http://diveintopython.org/. This will 
give you a good foundation for your fist steps into Python.

Flask is WSGI-based http://wsgi.org/wsgi/Learn_WSGI. So having some 
understanding of what that is can be useful (although, not essential).

Good luck, enjoy Python, and enjoy Flask

Kieran.

I was planning to use flask and I started off with Zed Shaw's "learn python
the hard way". The one thing I understood was that keeping on playing with
the examples is the best way to learn a new thing. But different people have
different ways.

So good luck!
