دانلود کتاب FastAPI – توسعه وب مدرن پایتون

This is a pragmatic introduction to FastAPI—a modern Python web framework. It’s also a story of how, now and then, the bright and shiny objects that we stumble across can turn out to be very useful. A silver bullet is nice to have when you encounter a werewolf. (And you will encounter werewolves later in this book.) I started programming scientific applications in the mid-1970s. And after I first met Unix and C on a PDP-11 in 1977, I had a feeling that this Unix thing might catch on. In the ’80s and early ’90s, the internet was still noncommercial, but already a good source for free software and technical info. And when a web browser called Mosaic was distributed on the baby open internet in 1993, I had a feeling that this web thing might catch on. When I started my own web development company a few years later, my tools were the usual suspects at the time: PHP, HTML, and Perl. On a contract job a few years later, I finally experimented with Python and was surprised at how quickly I was able to access, manipulate, and display data. In my spare time over two weeks, I was able to replicate most of a C application that had taken four developers a year to write. Now I had a feeling that this Python thing might catch on. After that, most of my work involved Python and its web frameworks, mostly Flask and Django. I particularly liked the simplicity of Flask and preferred it for many jobs. But just a few years ago, I spied something glinting in the underbrush: a new Python web framework called FastAPI, written by Sebastian Ramirez. As I read his (excellent) documentation, I was impressed by the design and thought that had gone into it. In particular, his history page showed how much care he had taken evaluating alternatives. This was not an ego project or a fun experiment, but a serious framework for real-world development. Now I had a feeling that this FastAPI thing might catch on.
