If you want to support the show, the best way to do it is to purchase one of my courses or suggest one to a friend. Dive into Docker is a video course that takes you from not knowing what Docker isto being able to confidently use Docker and Docker Compose for your own apps.Long gone are the days of "but it works on my machine!". A bunch of followalong labs are included. Build a SAAS App with Flask is a video course where we build a realworld SAAS app that accepts payments, has a custom admin, includes high testcoverage and goes over how to implement and apply 50+ common web app features.There's over 20+ hours of video.
