It's time to write our first FastAPI API, we're going to create a simple application that will actually show us a ton of the moving parts of FastAPI.

Now, because I want to just focus on getting everything set up, I'm going to first have
0:16
us build a simple little calculator API, you'll be able to submit a couple of numbers, it'll
