Yeah long story on how I ended up here. I was using http://teachable.com , but then I decided it would be easier to use jekyll since it's good for code highlighting. I already had the homepage built in leadpages, so I used their snippet to include it on the page. I don't like it, but I haven't had time to rewrite the page.

Ouch - I'm the CTO of teachable, had syntax highlighting on the todo list forever - it just got bumped up on the list.

This is why I love hackernews.

Is their any other sites/courses like this freely available?

Not free, but if you don't mind paying the cost of 2x pizzas you can get life time access to a 10 hour self paced video course that will teach you how to build a large real world application with Flask and Docker.

Instead of building a watered down application, it concentrates on building a production ready application. Instead of a Twitter clone, we build up a payment processing application that protects a game behind multiple tiers of pricing plans.

Some students are building their next start-up based on the code examples used in the course. One student even landed a $5,000+ contract a few weeks after taking the course.

Details (along with a demo video showing exactly what we'll build) can be found here:

Sounds more like one bread stick and two eclairs sort of deal.

I'm not sure if you're complementing or insulting the technology choices, but thanks... now I'm in the mood for bread sticks.

Tons of students loved the Docker content. It is definitely secondary to learning Flask but you learn enough to get comfortable using Docker in development. It's what we use to set up a development environment.
