Asynchronous Web Apps in Python

Building your future web app.

Stop copy-pasting snippets to piece together a FastAPI app you don't really understand. Instead, buckle down and take the time to learn the fundamental building blocks that async web app frameworks in Python are built on top of. That way, you won't be stuck when there's no tutorial to copy from.

Thanks for this really valuable content. Teaching the fundamentals of a technology and not just an implementation tutorial is what is really lacking in the youtube space!

[robosergTV]

dude, thanks! I was just tasked to understand our core FastAPI app at my company, this is perfect!

[adamdapatsfan]

YES, so glad we're getting a series on this!
It's such a great project design, can't wait to find out all the little things I've been doing wrong :P

[brothertyler]

I appreciate you starting at the fundamentals.

[Sandeep-zddq]

Thanks for starting this amazing series 🙌

[farhadeviltrg]

this was perfect, I couldn't understand asgi before but now its a lot more clear

[matis]

Quality content as usual, the ASGI series will be great!

[nicolaipre]

This was a great video, thank you! Would also be very cool to see you implement routers, route ordering, subdomain routing and middlewares in a part 2.

[dirtdart]

This comes at a perfect time, thank you for making this series!

[manuelangelsuarezalvarez]

Loved the video, thanks for this kind of low level content!!

[AaronGayah-drlu]

Thank you for this. Struggling with async presently.

[sandie_jr]

Much needed! Thanks for the making series for it.

[boolmax]

very eye opening, waiting for future installments!

[Cavema]

2:20, you could and you should write an HTTP parser, as en exercise. It's easy to understand and work with. After that you got a knowledge not only on protocol but also on how it works.

With such great number of frameworks, new coming developers do not understand basics, and it's a shame.

[Razerblue]

I'm probably misunderstanding but why would a standard such as ASGI be designed for/tailored specifically towards Python? Is this not something that multiple languages (that of course support async programming) could benefit from ASGI? Is there anything fundamentally standing in the way to implement an ASGI protocol server for use in other languages?

[prakashkalluri]

Instructions unclear. Started raising a whole herd of goats

[bhalutagda]

Why did he stop posting videos
Please continue making more such videos its really helpful 😢

[nemoumbra]

4:57 Can this be expressed via the `Coroutine` from `typing`?
(btw, I use Manjaro, not Arch)

[mistervallus]

i actually want to see the regex for the http request header

[monorepo]

When's the Litestar series drop? 👀
