Overall:

• Models are located in the MODELS section of app.py.
• Controllers are also located in app.py.
• The web frontend is located in templates/, which builds static assets deployed to the web server at static/.
• Web forms for creating data are located in form.py

Highlight folders:

• templates/pages -- Defines the pages that are rendered to the site. These templates render views based on data passed into the template’s view, in the controllers defined in app.py.

• templates/layouts -- Defines the layout that a page can be contained in to define footer and header code for a given page.

• templates/forms -- Defines the forms used to create new artists, shows, and venues.

• app.py -- Defines routes that match the user’s URL, and controllers which handle data and renders views to the user.

• Models in app.py -- Defines the data models that set up the database tables.

• config.py -- Stores configuration variables and instructions, separate from the main application code. This is where you will need to connect to the database.
