Web App Development Made Simple with Streamlit

By: Rosario Moscato

Overview of this book

This book is a comprehensive guide to the Streamlit open-source Python library and simplifying the process of creating web applications. Through hands-on guidance and realistic examples, you’ll progress from crafting simple to sophisticated web applications from scratch. This book covers everything from understanding Streamlit's central principles, modules, basic features, and widgets to advanced skills such as dealing with databases, hashes, sessions, and multipages. Starting with fundamental concepts like operation systems virtualization, IDEs, development environments, widgets, scripting, and the anatomy of web apps, the initial chapters set the groundwork. You’ll then apply this knowledge to develop some real web apps, gradually advancing to more complex apps, incorporating features like natural language processing (NLP), computer vision, dashboards with interactive charts, file uploading, and much more. The book concludes by delving into the implementation of advanced skills and deployment techniques. By the end of this book, you’ll have transformed into a proficient developer, equipped with advanced skills for handling databases, implementing secure login processes, managing session states, creating multipage applications, and seamlessly deploying them on the cloud.

Summary

Our web application utilizing NLP is finished and running. You should be very proud of that!

We also recapped the main points and takeaways. So, what else can we do?

If we think about it, our application works very well, but only locally, or at least within the same network as the machine that we coded on.

For a web application to be defined as a real web application, it needs to be public. This means it needs to be accessible everywhere.

To be accessed everywhere, our web application needs to live on a server on the real internet with a real public URL.

To put our web application on a real server on the web, we need to deploy it, and this is exactly what we are going to do in the next chapter.
