Build APIs and web apps based on Asynchronous Server Gateway Interface (ASGI). This book provides a comprehensive explanation of using Pydantic models to construct the request/response objects in a FASTAPI path operation. You’ll start by reviewing type hints in Python and the asynchronous processing concepts. One of the highlights of FastAPI is its auto generation of API docs. Pydantic library is the main pillar on top of which FastAPI is built. You’ll see that ASGI has a far better performance compared to most of the other popular Python frameworks as they implement Web server Gateway Interface (WSGI), which is synchronous in nature and hence having slower response time. This book thoroughly explains how FastAPI interacts asynchronously with relational as well as NOSQL databases. Modern web apps use template engines to interact with the front-end. In this book, you will learn to use jinja2 templates and static assets. Swagger UI and OpenAPI standards are also covered in detail. Finally, different options of deployment of FastAPI app have been explored in this book. This book uses practical examples to empower you to build high performance APIsWhat You'll LearnDevelop robust and high-performance web appsDeploy the FastAPI app for public availability using cloud services such as Deta and Docker containerUnderstand the important building blocks of a web app such as form handling, templating and database interactionWho This Book Is ForAspiring and the experienced Python developers looking to leverage the flexibility of Python and the powerful features introduced in Modern Python. Computer science Engineering students at graduate and postgraduate level will also benefit immensely from the practical approach adapted in the book.

Django has evolved into a powerful full-stack framework ideal for developing data-driven web applications, continuously expanding with new tools for asynchronous solutions, APIs, and real-time applications. This book explores modern Django development best practices, including Django Channels for WebSockets, Django REST Framework (DRF) for REST APIs, Graphene and Strawberry for GraphQL APIs, and integrating a front-end built with React The content is structured into two main parts, covering both fundamental and advanced concepts in a practical and digestible manner.The first part introduces Django's core concepts, starting with an overview of web development and Python’s asyncio module for asynchronous processing. It then walks you through Django installation, project setup, and the admin interface. The Model-View-Template (MVT) architecture is explained in depth, with chapters on models, views, and templates, illustrating real-world examples. Additionally, it covers database interactions, introducing SQLAlchemy ORM and MongoDB integration to extend Django’s capabilities beyond its default ORM.The second part delves into advanced Django features and the broader ecosystem. Topics include authentication, security, messaging, and reusable apps such as the Django toolbar. REST API development with Django REST Framework is explored, followed by an introduction to building GraphQL APIs using Graphene and Strawberry. A dedicated chapter covers Django Channels and the WebSocket protocol for real-time applications. Modern Django Web Development concludes with integrating React to develop front-end clients for Django-based REST, GraphQL, and WebSocket APIs, enabling a full-stack development experience.You Will:Explore the full spectrum of modern Django developmentLearn how to use SQLAlchemy MongoDB with DjangoUnderstand Django Channels for asynchronous web appsExplore DRF for building REST API in DjangoLearn how to build GraphQL API with Graphene and StrawberryUnderstand how to develop a Django-React appWho is it for:Software developers, web developers and engineers who are interested in adding Django to their development skillset. Python Developers can also leverage the power of modern Django with the help of this practical guide.
