Build (and deploy) a real SaaS app in 8 weeks using Python and Flask with this self-paced, online course.

Everything you need to build a real SaaS application

Fullstack Flask goes beyond other courses in covering every detail required for a production application.

Here are ten things you will be able to do when you take the course:

  1. Build the backend and frontend in Python with Flask
  2. Persist data with PostgreSQL
  3. 100% Test Coverage
  4. Handle realpayments with Stripe.
  5. Setup and run delayed jobs queues
  6. Send emails to your users
  7. Build user authentication
  8. Learn how to deploy the entire architecture to production
  9. Tune the performance of the server and queries
  10. Build the foundation for your income-generating SaaS side-project or company

What We Will Build

In Fullstack Flask I will teach you how to use the full power and expressiveness of Python to build a fully functional income-generating web app from scratch using Flask.

Introducing Yumroad

In this course, we'll build Yumroad: a service for selling digital products online

Real-world architecture

We're not going to build a simple web-server and be done with it - no way. Instead, we're going to build out the full architecture of a real-world app. That means, databases, delayed jobs, sending emails, monitoring performance, and a whole lot more.

Payment Forms and Webhooks

We'll implement custom payment forms -- and implement the server hooks to make them work

Stripe Integration

We'll integrate with Stripe to handle payments for our digital products

Send emails

Our applications often have to email users and in this course, we'll show you how to do it

Work with APIs

We'll work with third party APIs to get real world data and bring it into our application.

About the Author: Fullstack.io

Fullstack.io thumbnail

Fullstack.io is the technical book and course publisher founded by Nate Murray, Ari Lerner, and team — known for the ng-book Angular series, the React Quickly books, and the fullstack React series that anchored a generation of working developers' first deep-dive into modern JavaScript framework material. Fullstack.io has since rebranded to Newline for its newer course catalog.

The book / course catalog covers the modern JavaScript framework landscape — Angular, React, Vue, GraphQL, Node.js — at the level of comprehensive reference works rather than introductory tutorials. The Fullstack.io style is unusually rigorous about the underlying APIs and edge cases that ship projects to production.

The CourseFlix listing under this source carries over 20 Fullstack.io / Newline courses spanning that range. Material is paid; the original platform sold both per-course access and membership tiers. Courses are aimed at developers ready to move past introductory tutorials into the depth of a chosen framework.
