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

This chapter was full of fundamental building blocks that we will use vigorously throughout the remainder of this book, and that you will use to develop your own Streamlit applications.

On data, we covered how to bring our own DataFrames into Streamlit and how to accept user input in the form of a data file that brings us past only being able to simulate data. On other skillsets, we learned how to use our cache to make our data apps faster, how to control the flow of our Streamlit apps, and how to debug our Streamlit apps using st.write(). That's it for this chapter. Next, we'll move on to data visualization!
