Building Your First Python Backend API with Flask or FastAPI

🚀 FastAPI CRUD Operations (Python REST API) I’ve just shared a new tutorial where I explain CRUD operations using FastAPI step by step. FastAPI is becoming one of the most popular frameworks for building high-performance APIs in Python, and this tutorial is perfect if you’re starting backend development or preparing for interviews. 📌 Ideal for: Python developers Backend beginners API & microservices learners #FastAPI #Python #BackendDevelopment #RESTAPI #CRUD #WebDevelopment #APIDevelopment #PythonDeveloper #Learning #python 👉 watch here : https://lnkd.in/gSgeXqf6

One of the most common Python mistakes I still see, especially in growing developers, is misunderstanding variable scope. It leads to code that runs but behaves unpredictably. And those are the hardest bugs to debug. Once I truly understood how Python handles local, global, and nonlocal variables, my code became easier to reason about and my debugging time dropped significantly. I wrote a short, practical guide explaining variable scope the way I wish it had been explained to me, with real examples. 👉 Read it here: https://lnkd.in/djp6HJdD #Python #LearnPython #SoftwareEngineering #DeveloperGrowth

WSGI can be put this way in simple terms, Imagine you are in a restaurant and you place an order to the waiter (web server). The waiter does not cook the food but instead, he passes the order to the chef (Python framework such as Flask or Django). Even though the orders are cooked by the chef, the waiter and chef must be on the same page so that orders are clearly understood and are delivered to the correct table every time. This standard communication method is like WSGI.It defines how the web server should pass the request to the Python application and how the application should send the response back

 Why I switched to FastAPI for high-performance Python backends. 🚀 Python is often criticized for being "slow," but FastAPI is changing the game. By leveraging modern Python type hints and an asynchronous core, it’s giving frameworks like Go and Node.js a run for their money. In my latest Medium post, I break down: The core fundamentals of FastAPI. How it handles concurrency vs. the Python GIL. Why companies like Uber and Netflix are adopting it.

I remember staring at a Python function thinking, “This should work.” No errors. Wrong result. The culprit? Variable scope. I wrote this guide to save you that frustration 👇 https://lnkd.in/djp6HJdD #Python #CodingTips #Variable #Scope

One of the things I really like about Django is how cleanly it handles CRUD, from database models to forms, views, and templates, everything fits together in a very natural way. It’s a great framework for building real, production level backends without overcomplicating things. Fast to develop, structured by default, and powerful when you need to scale. . . . #Django #Python #WebDevelopment #BackendDevelopment #SoftwareEngineering #BuildInPublic

One nice improvement in the latest DBOS Python release–you can now call async steps concurrently with native syntax from a workflow, and it all just works. To make that possible, we added code to set a unique ID for each step before it begins async execution, so even though the step executions overlap they’re checkpointed deterministically.

A small Python habit that saves me time on real projects: Write code for clarity first, not cleverness. • Prefer readable functions over one-liners • Handle exceptions explicitly never hide errors • Use virtual environments, always • Log what matters, not everything • Automate repetitive tasks instead of tolerating them Python shines when you let simplicity do the heavy lifting. Maintainable code today beats “smart” code you’ll debug later. #Python #BackendDevelopment #SoftwareEngineering #CleanCode #DeveloperHabits #Automation

Simple workout tracking program I wrote in Python! It's somewhat old fashioned in that it is a desktop app and assumes the user owns a printer. But I think it's less disruptive to working out than checking in on an app. I've been using this for a while, and recently decided to add a GUI, which was a good excuse to learn how to make better GUIs in Python.

Different syntax, same power 💥 Python vs JavaScript—same goal, different style. 💻 Python: in & not in → clean, simple, expressive ⚡ JavaScript: .includes() → flexible, chainable Look at the image for a quick visual comparison 👀 Same result, different approach 🤝 #Python #JavaScript #FullStackDeveloper #CodingTips #CleanCode #DeveloperLife #WebDevelopment #SoftwareEngineering #TechCommunity #Programming
