    I've been maintaining my Build a SAAS App with Flask video course[0] for 8 years. It has gone from pre-1.0 to 2.3 and has been recorded twice with tons of incremental updates added over the years to keep things current.

    In my opinion tutorial creators should pin their versions so that anyone taking the course or going through the tutorial will have a working version that matches the video or written material.

    I'm all for keeping things up to date and do update things every few months but rolling updates don't tend to work well for tutorials because sometimes a minor version requires a code change or covering new concepts. As a tutorial consumer it's frustrating when the content doesn't match the source code unless it's nothing but a version bump.

    I've held off upgrading Flask to 3.0 and Python 3.12 due to these open issues with 3rd party dependencies https://github.com/nickjj/docker-flask-example/issues/17.

    Flask Mega Tutorial and "Build a SaaS App" purchased directly from the course website are probably your best bets.

    The resource I'm looking to learn from is u/nickjj_ course, but I'm trying to figure out how familiar I should be with Python before I dive into it. Looks like I may need some HTML/CSS/JS as well.

    A few years ago I started my programming/ SaaS yourney and now I can live from my solo bootstrapped SaaS. I started learning Python 2 (free) on codecademy. Followed by the free CS50 from Harvard on Edx.org . After that I build my first SaaS using the SaaS template/ course https://buildasaasappwithflask.com

    Flask is quite simple, yet powerful. Also, it's written in Python so it will be easy for you. You can download something like flask-boilerplate and go from there. Just open app.py and hit run. It uses jinja2 template engine and bootstrap css framework, both of which are quite simple too.
