Getting Started with Streamlit for Data Science

By: Tyler Richards

Overview of this book

Streamlit shortens the development time for the creation of data-focused web applications, allowing data scientists to create web app prototypes using Python in hours instead of days. Getting Started with Streamlit for Data Science takes a hands-on approach to helping you learn the tips and tricks that will have you up and running with Streamlit in no time. You'll start with the fundamentals of Streamlit by creating a basic app and gradually build on the foundation by producing high-quality graphics with data visualization and testing machine learning models. As you advance through the chapters, you’ll walk through practical examples of both personal data projects and work-related data-focused web applications, and get to grips with more challenging topics such as using Streamlit Components, beautifying your apps, and quick deployment of your new apps. By the end of this book, you’ll be able to create dynamic web apps in Streamlit quickly and effortlessly using the power of Python.

Summary

In this chapter, we explored an example costing analysis, which showed us a job-specific use case for Streamlit. In this example, we discussed how to use interactive Streamlit applications to help improve and inform the data-based decision making of teams. After that, we also learned how to deploy Streamlit applications from private GitHub repositories, and we learned about multiple methods to make our Streamlit applications only available to a private audience with password protection and Google SSO. This concludes the chapter.

In the next chapter, we will focus on interviews with power Streamlit users and creators to learn tips and tricks, why they use Streamlit so extensively, and also where they think the library will go from here. See you there!
