The world has benefited greatly from the invention of

Sir Tim Berners-Lee,1
and the Python programming language
by Guido van Rossum.
The only tiny problem is that
a nameless computer book publisher
often puts spiders and snakes on its relevant
web and Python covers.
If only the web had been named the World Wide
Woof
(cross-threads in weaving, also called weft),
and Python were
Pooch,
this book
might have had a cover like Figure I-1.

FastAPI
An especially productive Python web framework
The two chapters in this first part discuss emerging
topics in the web and in Python:
services and APIs;
concurrency;
layered architectures;
and big, big data.
Part II is a high-level tour of FastAPI,
a fresh Python web framework that has good answers to the
questions posed in Part I.
Part III rummages deeper through the FastAPI toolbox,
