microblog VS build-a-saas-app-with-flask

I can't speak highly enough of Miguel Grinberg's work with Python/Flask (https://blog.miguelgrinberg.com/post/the-flask-mega-tutorial...) and the community he's created around it, for both beginners and advanced folks.

Racing through his mega tutorial was a great refresher for me on the fundamentals, and it's easy to plug in computer vision & related libraries/extensions/packages.

In the project root directory create a folder called static with one subfolder called js and another called css. The js folder will contain all of the needed local JavaScript files while the css folder will contain all the CSS stylesheets. In the js folder create a file called index.js and in the css folder one called style.css. Just leave them empty for now. If you want to find out more about web development with Flask I suggest you try out this tutorial. Your current project structure should like this:

Grinberg pretty popular.

This excellent tutorial: https://blog.miguelgrinberg.com/post/the-flask-mega-tutorial-part-i-hello-world

I miss being able to refer to a single bible when it comes to having to look up how to do a thing. Is there anything similar to Miguel Grinbergs flask mega tutorial for react?

Most modern discord bots have a website portal if they're popular. I don't want to assume anything so I thought I'd recommend this series for Flask: https://blog.miguelgrinberg.com/post/the-flask-mega-tutorial-part-i-hello-world

I personally know Flask. If you want to learn Flask, I would recomend this tuto : Mega flask tuto Note : This tuto would take time, especially if you are new to python. I think it took me like a good month to understand the concept. When i follow this Tuto. I was also a noobie. (never done WebPython nor real python project).

Not exactly what you're after, but Miguel's mega tutorial will get you started quite quickly. I typically follow his tutorial for the user registration process and then implement the rest of my app.

Look at Miguel's [mega tutorial]([https://blog.miguelgrinberg.com/post/the-flask-mega-tutorial-part-i-hello-world). This is what got me started.

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.

Build a SAAS App with Flask. Course / Boilerplate. https://buildasaasappwithflask.com/

Personally I maintain https://github.com/nickjj/docker-flask-example. There's also https://github.com/nickjj/build-a-saas-app-with-flask if you want more opinions.

Thanks a lot!

By the way the version of the course on Udemy doesn't get updated. The full version of the course is at https://buildasaasappwithflask.com/ which includes lifetime free updates (it has over 10+ hours of extra updates and new features not on the Udemy version). Udemy is a really bad platform for instructors which is why I've been trying hard to decouple myself from them over time.

As for a tutorial on using this repo specifically, did you find the readme file lacking in any way? I tried to write the readme to be fully self contained. It would expect prior Docker knowledge tho. I did give a talk at DockerCon going over a bunch of Docker best practices at https://nickjanetakis.com/blog/best-practices-around-product.... It was using a Flask example repo not Django but everything still applies. The same patterns are used.

Indeed, you can also create a Jinja macro to auto-insert the token into all of your forms too, here's a code example[0]. It's a 100% solved problem both on the Flask back-end and template side with an ability to opt out of it when you need to on the back-end such as accepting webhooks from another service.

Gunicorn is one of my favorite app servers. I've been using Gunicorn in production on a bunch of projects (any Flask / Django project) for around 8 years now. It's rock solid and extremely predictable.

I also use Gunicorn in development too, it supports code reloading and also lets you enable Flask's debug middleware so you can use the interactive debugger. This is all configured in my Build a SAAS App with Flask course, a code example is here: https://github.com/nickjj/build-a-saas-app-with-flask.

That makes sense. Also do you have any experience with https://buildasaasappwithflask.com/ ?

Can’t speak to Corey Schafer’s, but I found this course here to be much better than Miguel’s https://buildasaasappwithflask.com/
