Initial research on FastAPI

I already used Flask in the past. I know about the extensive usage of DJango Framework in the Python community. Both are decent frameworks for web and API development in the Python world. As usual, at the beginning of a new project, I was unconsciously checking out the health and relevance of my technology selection. I came across FastAPI framework and noticed it because of the following facts:

  1. Selected in InfoWorld Best Open Source Software Award 2021.
  2. Simplicity of Flask.
  3. Faster than Flask as it uses ASGI (Asynchronous Server Gateway Interface).
  4. Adaptation among large product companies like Uber, Netflix and others.
  5. More than 38K stars on Github as on 17 Nov 2021. Remember Flask has more than 55K stars on Github. FastAPI is catching up fast.
  6. More to come.

Java Functional Interface

1. What is Functional Interface An interface with only one abstract method is called Functional Interface. Pre Java 8, there was no concept of Functional Interface. However, interfaces like Comparator and Runnable have only one abstract method. Hence they fell into the Functional Interface category in Java 8 unintentionally. 2. Example 2.1 getSellingPrice method snippet from App.Java package org.geekmj.java8; public class App { public static void main(String[] args) { // } private static float getSellingPrice(float cost, float couponDiscount, DiscounterFunctionalInterface discounter) { return cost - couponDiscount - discounter.discount(cost); } } Here, we have a method getSellingPrice , with three arguments cost , couponDiscount and discounter . discounter is of type DiscounterFunctionalInterface . It calculates the selling price for an item. 2.2 DiscounterFunctionalInterface.java package org.geekmj.java8; @FunctionalInterface public interface DiscounterFunctiona...

Basic terminal commands above when prefixed with l like lpwd , lls , lcd and etc. it is executed at a local computer. For e.g. List all files in the present working directory at the remote computer: sftp> ls List all files in the present working directory at the local computer: sftp> lls Sending a local computer file to present the working directory of a remote computer sftp> put /Users/mj/Downloads/test.png Output Uploading /Users/mj/Downloads/test.png to /home/ubuntu/test.png /Users/mj/Downloads/tech-mrit-prod.ovpn 100% 13KB 382.9KB/s 00:00 References How To Use SFTP to Securely Transfer Files with a Re...

Understanding Type Checking

A few examples of types in the context of programming language can be integer, float, character, string, array, etc.  When a program executes then data flow between instructions and values of specific types are assigned to a variable after some operation. It's important for the system to verify if the correct types are used as operands in operations. For e.g. In a sum operation, the expectation for operands to be of numeric type. The program's execution should fail in the case there is inconsistency. We can classify programming languages into two categories based as per their ability to cater to type safety: Dynamically Typed Language Statically Typed Language
