How to Browser fix Error ERR CONNECTION
A very clear video tutorial on how to deal with connection-refused errors while developing and testing Python/Flask code.
In my case, I was able to fix the error by following the instructions up through 1:20 in the video. The reset was not necessary.
HTML Tutorial
Well laid-out HTML reference.
SQLite Tutorial
SQLite is used as the database management system in this application.
Learned a lot from this tutorial.

Learned a lot from this tutorial. It was possible to readily create and employ an SQLite database in Python.
Configuring PyCharm Community Edition
Used PyCharm Community Edition (PCE) to work on this code. However, PCE does not appear to directly support Flask-based projects
This website tries to explain how to configure PCE appropriately. But, I found the instruction to be very confusing.
What I did was to have PCE build a new project and include a sample main.py.
The project and environment were put into seperate directories.
Then I used Run/Edit-Configurations to add the following variables:
* FLASK_APP : main.py
* FLASK_ENV : development
* FLASK_DEBUG : 1
