What Hacker News says

I went through the pre-release and loved it. I was competent with python (2) going in and had done most of his tutorials. This book got me to the point of being able to make working web applications. You follow along with https://github.com/miguelgrinberg/flasky and basically make a twitter clone -- which is fun. And its nice to be able to checkout the code using git and play with it instead of typing out the contents of the book. As you can tell from his tutorials, he is a clear writer. And you get a nice taste of cryptography, Bootstrap, and Heroku. I built http://superquest3.herokuapp.com/ over spring break after completing the book -- and I had never made anything but static websites before. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1223051718/practical-fl... is another flask book project you could check out ...
