You just built something amazing in Python and you’re ready to share it with the world! But does shipping it to the web mean…learning JavaScript? With the Streamlit framework, you can build interactive web apps entirely in Python incredibly fast. By providing a collection of pre-built UI components and streamlined configurations, Streamlit turns your ideas for data tools and AI workflows into usable applications without any tedious HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.

Build Python Web Apps with Streamlit follows a proven learn-by-building approach. Each chapter introduces a new hands-on project. You’ll create data dashboards, interactive checklists, and even an AI chatbot optimized with RAG and agentic patterns. You’ll also learn from intentional mistakes and real-world debugging challenges that teach you how Streamlit actually works. As you go, each project helps you master software engineering skills you might not have learned as a Python programmer—gathering requirements, persistence and database integration, user authentication, deployment, and troubleshooting.

• Build interactive web apps without HTML/CSS/JavaScript
• Understand Streamlit’s execution model
• Work with databases and persistent data
• Create and deploy production-grade architectures
• Implement user authentication and authorization
• Build AI-powered applications with LLMs
• Develop dashboards, and visualizations
• Implement security best practices
