Totally recommend it for anyone serious about web development. It goes from the basic using Flask and hold your hand building a complete blogging page. It not only shows you how he does it, but he clearly explains why he does it in such a way, and what he's doing so that you can change it and create one for yourself.

However, I actually read the version on his blog.
