This book is densely populated with how to use Sanic with Python to build web applications and, more importantly, gain efficiencies compared to using other frameworks. If you want to learn how to use Python and Sanic to easily instantiate, expand, and scale HTTP servers, then this book is a good investment and worth your time.As a seasoned Python developer, but relatively inexperienced in web development, I appreciated the historical perspective the book starts with. This helps explain the ‘why’ throughout the book. Key topics cover how to route and intake HTTP requests, how to ingest HTTP data, and the concept of responsive handlers. The author sufficiently covers security, real-world case studies, and best practices as they relate to Sanic.Of note, this is not a beginner’s book. Readers with Phyton 3 experience and at least a foundational understanding of web technologies (e.g., HTTP, RESTful, etc.) stand to get the most out of this excellent book.

The book deeply introduces the most advance modern Python web development techniques, the Sanic framework. With the async server bundled in the framework, the web application's performance improved a lot compared with the old fasion frameworks. Overall, a very good guide for advanced Python web dev.

If you're ready to graduate from Django, and want something drastically faster, Sanic and Sanic Server are where you want to be. Some of the most innovative work going on in Python for websites right now.The book is focused on giving you a solid foundation to get started strong. Easy to read and has examples relevant to pretty much any project. Source available on Github. Very receptive community and core team, too!

This guide can come in handy for people on any level of experience with Sanic. While new users can simply read along and follow the guide step by step to build a fully-working web application from start to end (with code samples available), what I have found useful as a more experienced user is seeing new (and better) ways of doing things in Sanic projects that I had never thought about before and with which I can put to use utilities that Sanic offers straight out of the box, knowing with certainty that I am using them as they were expected to be used. Throughout the whole book the author also makes use of industry-level tools, which has proved really helpful when I've had to do similar things with Sanic.

First, when writing the review, or looking for additional information, make sure you see it when auto-correct changes “Sanic” to “Satanic”, it results in a great deal of non-useful information about server masters. Sanic works with Python, originally built from the asyncio tool, to deliver asynchronous results and add speed. This is an exhaustive look at everything you need to do to work in Sanic. Section 1 deals with organizing your project, Section 2 explores everything you need to do to build an instance, ingest data, manage a server and ensure security while Section 3 examines running your web app with common use cases and a full build from scratch.Section 1 provides a good overview for basic project structures. It discusses the active user community even though the tool has only been around since 2016. Also included are some ideas about working through your IDE as well as advancing to containers. The section briefly discusses automated ingests.The second section is the meat of the book, focusing on what to do at every step to help Sanic accelerate your delivery. Three of the chapters discuss dealing with HTTP in your process, using cookies, and ensuring your Sanic instance find all the right information during communication. It also allows working outside your response handler for unusual solutions. One of the best chapters was 7, dealing with security concerns, and using the Sanic middleware to manage sessions.Finally, the third section includes practical examples including a step-by-step tutorial to build a booktracker to manage your personal library. If one thing was missing, it was the comparative step, how does Sanic do against other functions to deliver enhanced speed and communication? It seems like an effective tool, and a useful way to manage asynchronous applications but it would have been nice to be able to compare to other async methods to find an overall solution.Overall, the book provides the technical solutions to stand up Sanic. It also provides the program understanding as to why you should make certain decisions at the defined places when building your program. I’d recommend the book to anyone working with Sanic but if you haven’t used it, I’m not sure the justification is sufficient to pick this up and start in a new place.
