Synopsis Building Python Web APIs with FastAPI by : Abdulazeez Abdulazeez Adeshina

Discover FastAPI features and best practices for building and deploying high-quality web APIs from scratch Key Features • A practical guide to developing production-ready web APIs rapidly in Python • Learn how to put FastAPI into practice by implementing it in real-world scenarios • Explore FastAPI, its syntax, and configurations for deploying applications Book Description RESTful web services are commonly used to create APIs for web-based applications owing to their light weight and high scalability. This book will show you how FastAPI, a high-performance web framework for building RESTful APIs in Python, allows you to build robust web APIs that are simple and intuitive and makes it easy to build quickly with very little boilerplate code. This book will help you set up a FastAPI application in no time and show you how to use FastAPI to build a REST API that receives and responds to user requests. You'll go on to learn how to handle routing and authentication while working with databases in a FastAPI application. The book walks you through the four key areas: building and using routes for create, read, update, and delete (CRUD) operations; connecting the application to SQL and NoSQL databases; securing the application built; and deploying your application locally or to a cloud environment. By the end of this book, you'll have developed a solid understanding of the FastAPI framework and be able to build and deploy robust REST APIs. What you will learn • Set up a FastAPI application that is fully functional and secure • Understand how to handle errors from requests and send proper responses in FastAPI • Integrate and connect your application to a SQL and NoSQL (MongoDB) database • Perform CRUD operations using SQL and FastAPI • Manage concurrency in FastAPI applications • Implement authentication in a FastAPI application • Deploy a FastAPI application to any platform Who this book is for This book is for Python developers who want to learn FastAPI in a pragmatic way to create robust web APIs with ease. If you are a Django or Flask developer looking to try something new that's faster, more efficient, and produces fewer bugs, this FastAPI Python book is for you. The book assumes intermediate-level knowledge of Python programming.

Synopsis Effective PyCharm by : Michael Kennedy

Hello and welcome to Effective PyCharm. In this book, we're going to look at all the different features of one of the very best environments for interacting and creating Python code, PyCharm. PyCharm is an IDE (integrated development environment) and this book will teach you how you can make the most of this super powerful editor.The first thing we are going to talk about is why do we want to use an IDE in the first place? What value does a relatively heavyweight application like PyCharm bring and why would we want to use it? There are many features that make PyCharm valuable. However, let's begin by talking about the various types of editors we can use and what the trade-offs are there.We're going to start by focusing on creating new projects and working with all the files in them. You'll see there's a bunch of configuration switcheswe can set to be more effective. Then we're going to jump right intowhat I would say is the star of the show--the editor.If you're writing code, you need an editor. You will be writing a lot of code. This includes typing new text and manipulating existing text. The editor has to be awesome and aid you in these tasks. We're going to focus on all the cool features that the PyCharm editor offers. We'll see that source control in particular, Git and Subversion are deeply integrated into PyCharm. There are all sorts of powerful things we can do beyond git, including actual GitHub integration. We are going to focus on source control and the features right inside the IDE.PyCharm is great at *refactoring*. Refactoring code is changing our code to restructure it in a different way, to use a slightly different algorithm, while not actually changing the behavior of the code. There are many powerful techniques in PyCharm that you can use to do this. Because it understands all of your files at once, it can safely refactor. It will even refactor doc strings and other items that could be overlooked without a deep understanding of code structures.There is powerful database tooling in PyCharm. You can interact with most databases including SQLite, MySQL, and Postgres. You can edit the data, edit the schemes, run queries and more. Because PyCharm has a deep understanding of your code, there is even integration between your database schema and the Python text editor. Note that PyCharm has a free version and a professional version. The database features are only available in the professional version.PyCharm is excellent at building web applications using libraries like Django, Pyramid, or Flask. It also has a full JavaScript editor and environment so you can use TypeScript or CoffeeScript. We'll look into both server-side and client-side features.PyCharm has a great visual debugger, and we are going to look at all the different features of it. You can use it to debug and understand your application. It has powerful breakpoint operations and data visualization that typically editors don't have.Profiling is a common task if you want to understand how your code is running. If your application is slow and you want it to go faster, you shouldn't guess where it is slow. PyCharm makes it easy to look at the code determine what it fast and slow, rather than relying on our intuition which may be flawed. PyCharm has some tremendous built-in visual types of tools for us to fundamentally understand the performance of our app.PyCharm has built-in test runners for pytest, unittest, and a number of Python testing frameworks. If you are doing any unit testing or integration testing, PyCharm will come to your aid. For example, one feature you can turn on is auto test execution. If you are changing certain parts of your code, PyCharm will automatically re-run the tests. There are a couple of additional tools that don't really land in any of the above categories. There is a chapter with the additional tools at the end.

Synopsis Approaching (Almost) Any Machine Learning Problem by : Abhishek Thakur

This is not a traditional book. The book has a lot of code. If you don't like the code first approach do not buy this book. Making code available on Github is not an option. This book is for people who have some theoretical knowledge of machine learning and deep learning and want to dive into applied machine learning. The book doesn't explain the algorithms but is more oriented towards how and what should you use to solve machine learning and deep learning problems. The book is not for you if you are looking for pure basics. The book is for you if you are looking for guidance on approaching machine learning problems. The book is best enjoyed with a cup of coffee and a laptop/workstation where you can code along. Table of contents: - Setting up your working environment - Supervised vs unsupervised learning - Cross-validation - Evaluation metrics - Arranging machine learning projects - Approaching categorical variables - Feature engineering - Feature selection - Hyperparameter optimization - Approaching image classification & segmentation - Approaching text classification/regression - Approaching ensembling and stacking - Approaching reproducible code & model serving There are no sub-headings. Important terms are written in bold. I will be answering all your queries related to the book and will be making YouTube tutorials to cover what has not been discussed in the book.
