So what application are we gonna build during this course? If we go over two PyPI, we could find that we search around.
0:06
There's all sorts of different projects and maybe we could build one of those, but no, in fact, what we're gonna build is pypi.org
0:13
itself. That's right. We're gonna create a clone of pypi.org. This entire site. Well, much of the site anyway, we're going to build a UI
0:20
That looks like this, would have data coming back from the database like that. We're gonna have featured packages that are in here like that,
0:27
who have the ability to log in, to register, have accounts, all that kind of stuff.
0:33
So that's the application, the web application that we're gonna build. We're going to create a clone of pypi.org.
0:41
It's a great example because it talks to a database, it has a decent number of multiple pages, it has HTML forums, it has validation, has accounts.
0:49
Many, many of the things that almost any web application that is meaningfully large or meaningfully real will have. You wanna build a bookstore,
0:57
it'll be similar. You wanna build a forum site, it will be similar. So I think this is gonna be a great example. We're all pretty familiar with it
1:05
from our experience with Python. It's not too complicated, but it's not too simplistic at the same time.
1:10
And we're gonna build an awesome asynchronous version of it with FastAPI
