Introduction to Flask
Like most popular open source projects, Flask has very good documentation, which is available at https://flask.palletsprojects.com/en/2.0.x/. If you'd like to dig deeper into Flask, the project documentation would be a great place to start.
I highly recommend Miguel Grinberg's work (https://blog.miguelgrinberg.com/) related to Flask. His blog, book, and video training have taught me a lot about Flask.
