REST APIs with Flask and Python - Custom Error Classes

The video tutorial covers the creation and use of custom error classes in Python. It begins with setting up a simple book class with properties and methods, including a read function. The tutorial then addresses the issue of reading more pages than available by implementing error handling in the read method.
