Ask HN: Is There a Python/Flask Equivalent to Hartl’s Rail Tutorial?
For both self development and guiding others, I’m looking for something like Hartl’s Rails tutorial (railstutorial_org/book). Doing some research I’m seeing a thousand tutorials which cover some things well, and other wrong. Is there a Python/Flask equivalent to this book which follows a linear path and touches on front-end and back-end, tdd, containerizing, etc? I can’t chart the path I’ve taken but do remember that fundamental course which shaped my early leaning path (t-sql with pencil and paper). Thanks for any help!
- arthurcolle 6y agoYes there is, it's Michael Grinberg's tutorial series: https://blog.miguelgrinberg.com/post/the-flask-mega-tutorial-part-i-hello-world https://blog.miguelgrinberg.com/post/the-flask-mega-tutorial...
- coopreme 6y agoThank you, I see he's got a section on Docker. I'll read into it see if it dives in how the app behaves in a k8s environment.
- arthurcolle 6y agoYou didn't mention that need in your initial post - that is somewhat distinct from the core needs of a tutorial that covers Flask development.
- coopreme 6y agoCorrect, specificity would have served me better. This still looks like a great starting point. I’ll run through this and start looking into how to change the projects into stateless apps for a K8S deployment.
- stonecharioteer 6y agoMiguel* Grinberg is the absolute best. He's also the maintainer of several flask plugins. I'd also look up his YouTube videos.
- coopreme 6y agoPerfect. Thanks for the vote. I’m diving into his blog posts, seems to be a lot there on both the blog/tutorial and con video side.
