Do you want to create an awesome web application but aren’t sure where to start?
Hi, I’m Nick and for the last year I’ve been teaching thousands of happy students how to deploy web applications with Docker.
Now I want to teach you how to develop PRODUCTION READY web applications with confidence.
Most learning material out there only teaches you how to build toy examples and throw out lines like “you wouldn’t want to do this in production…”, but then they never tell you the REAL way to do it.
Imagine how awful you’d feel after spending your time and hard earned money but still had to do a ton of research to complete your project. I’ve been there, done that and it’s not fun.
Instead, a large portion of the code base in my course is battle hardened from running in production on multiple projects.
I’ll be at your side explaining my thought process along the way while we build up a multi thousand line application together.
You’re going to walk away with everything you need to feel confident building your own web applications.
“Wow, what an amazing resource you’ve made. The app source is amazingly concise (clearly years of experience distilled). Honestly, it’s the handsomest web app code base I’ve ever seen. – David N.”
Here’s just some of what you’ll learn by taking my course:
- Learn how to use Docker to “Dockerize” a web application
- Learn what Flask is and how to use its features in your applications
- Learn how to create a Python 2 and 3 compatible code base
- Learn how to use PostgreSQL, Redis and Celery with Flask
- Create a full blown user management system
- Create a flexible custom admin interface
- Accept both recurring and microtransaction credit card payments
- Deal with both HTML template and JSON responses
- Logging, middleware and error handling
- Database migrations and internationalization (i18n)
“I have been working with Flask for the past 3 years and have been a technical reviewer on the Mastering Flask Packt book, even so, I am learning so much form you! – Pedro B.”
What makes Flask awesome?
- Based on one of the most popular computer languages in the world (Python)
- Minimalistic and easy to get started
- Lightning fast (Pinterest’s API serves 12+ billion requests / day with Flask)
- Vibrant community and ecosystem (hundreds of high quality extensions)
- Profitable for freelancing and consulting
Why is Docker worth using?
- Saves you from a ton of headaches when setting up development environments
- Easily move an application across environments or servers
- Prevents issues such as “well, it worked on my machine!”
- Makes developing with teams a much more pleasant experience
- You won’t need expensive hosting to deploy your web applications
You won’t just become a Flask master by taking my course but you’ll also gain the confidence in developing web applications so that you can command the hourly rates you deserve as a software developer.
This could be done through increasing your rates as a freelancer or negotiating a higher salary at your job. In my years working as a consultant and talking to a lot of developers, I discovered that most developers are not confident in their ability to fulfill work that is requested of them.
Some of them are even afraid to bid on or accept contract work.
This is actually a very common problem and is described as “Impostor Syndrome”. I’ve suffered from it for a long time and it has cost me tens of thousands of dollars and now I want to save you the hardship of making the same mistake.
You might be thinking “Nick, how in the world is a course on Flask going to let me raise my rates?” and that’s a great question but before I answer that, let’s just play around with a few numbers:
- If you work 20 hours a week for the next year at $30/hour then you would stand to make $31,200.
- After you double your rate then you would make $62,400 instead.
Wouldn’t you want an extra 30k in your pocket every year? You know, the only real difference between a $30/hour and $60/hour developer is their mindset.
One of them believes they can fulfill the job, while the other struggles to believe in themselves.
How will Build a SAAS App with Flask help you generate more income?
Simple, you’re going to get a battle hardened web application that you can use as a bulletproof base for your next project. You won’t have to sit there second guessing yourself while researching everything on your own.
You’re getting well tested code that’s been running in production. Tons of edge cases have been ironed out, and features were added due to real life needs. Not only that, but I’ll be at your side explaining everything to you while you make your way through the course.
You’re going to see how the application gets built up from a single file, all the way to a 4,000+ line project that spans across dozens of files and folders.
If that’s not enough, I’ll be available to answer any questions you have in the course’s forums and all of my courses come with an unbeatable 30 day guarantee that’s 100% RISK FREE. If you don’t love the course then I insist you get a 100% refund – no questions asked.
“Definitely delivers on hours and sanity saved! Comprehensive and well worth it. – B.C.”

Hi, I’m Nick and I’ve been a self taught software developer for about 20 years.
I’m also a Docker Captain, which means that Docker personally reached out to me to join their team as a trusted content provider and community leader.
Over the years I’ve worked as a consultant doing contract work for various clients while also hacking away on my own projects because it’s what I love to do.
All of my courses have been created from experience I’ve gained while being in the trenches and figuring out things through real world experience.
Thanks a lot Dhawal!
Seems to have an interesting approach to the matter of building web applications. The teacher seems to be very knowleadgeable about the topic and transmits it very well

I must say that the course is being designed to assumed students to have a strong foundation with basic. Concept such as pytest, docker, jinja2 templates are important components in building a web app, but the course video is merely showing what he has done and go through the pre-written codes with you. No doubt you will probably understand how this things will works together, but you don’t really have a chance to do it yourself from scratch., understanding is one thing, doing it hand coded way is another. Whilst I am still at the course, I will still finish it, however, I don’t feel that I am able and competent enough to build my own app. The most practice i have is the simple docker-compose up and stop command….
Hi, there’s 30-50+ hours of coding assignments to apply what you learn in each section by adding new features into the app. It’s up to you on whether or not you want to do those exercises to apply it. Keep in mind we do cover every line of code and there’s plenty of code examples to use things like pytest, jinja2 and various Docker related files. Between the explanations, code examples and optional assignments things should begin to click. At least that’s what I’ve heard from thousands of folks so far — most of which who are beginners with zero experience in the technologies you mentioned.
The project that Nick created is very complex. One thing would be good to change is to add a bit more explanations.

Thanks Przemysław.
Amazing job! 100% value for money.
Thanks a lot Andy!
This is the best Udemy course and the best online course anywhere I have taken. You must be an advanced user to learn it fast. For my level, advanced programmer with skills in multiple languages and packages, this instructor is excellent. He is clear. I would caution that if you arent already experienced or super enthusiastic, you should do some pre-requisite prepping. If so, you stand to learn real important career or project skills and concepts. I have 3 ivy league degrees – this is the most learning I have had in any course at any time.
Hey Paul. Thanks a lot for the review. I’m really happy you enjoyed the course. Good luck with Flask!
This course is more of reviewing the code that’s already been provided, than typing yourself. I learn by coding, so this is not a good fit for me.
Hi, There’s 30-100+ hours of coding exercises across the whole course where you add real features into the app. These are self guided challenges based on what we covered in each section.
This feels more like a recruiting video for you to spend more money by going to buildingasaasapp.com. You need to either provide the “additional updates” via udemy or just not mention them.
Super annoying having Nick pop up saying “hey I go into more detail with 3+ additional hours at my website… which by the way you’ll need to buy that too if you want!”
You’re the only instructor I’ve had that maintains two different versions of his course. I think what you’re doing is unethical. Provide everything to Udemy that you’re providing on your other website or don’t claim you’re keeping this updated.
Hi,
I only mention it once or twice when it makes sense. Also this version of the code base is updated for Python 3.7, and I’ve released a number of free videos on Youtube that show some of the other updates, some of which are included in the announcements of this course as an update. You are definitely not recruited for anything. There’s ~10 hours of video content and of that, about 1 minute of content talks about the updates. The only reason I even included them is because so many people have messaged me asking about updates. The only reason I even have to maintain 2 versions of the course is due to how Udemy treats instructors. They pretty much forced me to stop producing new content on their platform.
After going through more of the course, one thing I’m disappointed about is that you’re teaching by demonstration, but there isn’t very much learning by doing. For each section, all the code is already prepared. Even after doing the ‘challenge’ sections, I don’t feel like this course is giving me the skills and knowledge that I need to develop my own web application. How do I manage my local environments and troubleshoot issues? How do I build my own CLI tool instead of using your pre-prepared one? The course materials are well constructed, but the gaps between sessions are just filled in with ‘download the code for the next section’, which leaves large gaps in knowledge
Hi, The code does change between sections but we cover every line of code in each section, and the videos cover both why and how that code changes between sections. What large gaps of knowledge are you referring to?
So far, it’s been very clear and friendly.
It doesn’t assume you’re are experienced, but let to your own criteria and effort to go deep in some concepts and ideas.
Good balance.
Thanks a lot for stopping by Juan.

It has a learning curve to get started, but once you start getting a foothold, you understand why Nick needed to set up the course in this way. Very detailed explanations with the code repository at par with modern development practices. Other Udemy courses that I have looked at don’t match this level of sophistication. I would even go as far as saying that this is a hybrid between industry best practices and a practical course with hands-on development taught at universities.
Kudos!
