Summary

In this chapter, we started by learning how to organize our files and folders for the remainder of this book and quickly moved on to instructions for downloading Streamlit. We then built our first Streamlit application, Hello World, and learned how to run our Streamlit applications locally. Then, we started building out a more complicated application to show the implications of the central limit theorem from the ground up, going from a simple histogram to accepting user input and formatting different types of text within our app for clarity and beautification.

By now, you should be comfortable with subjects such as basic data visualization, editing Streamlit apps in a text editor, and locally running Streamlit apps. We’re going to dive more deeply into data manipulation in our next chapter.
