Creating a Remote-Control Application with Spotify

Spotify is a music streaming service that was developed in Stockholm, Sweden. The first version was released back in 2008 and today it doesn't only provide music, but video and podcasts as well. Growing rapidly from a startup in Sweden to the biggest music service in the world, Spotify has apps running on video game consoles and mobile phones, and has integration with many social networks.
The company really has changed how we consume music and has also enabled not only well-known artists but small indie artists to share their music with the world.

Luckily, Spotify is also a great platform for developers and provides a really nice and well-documented REST API where it's possible to make searches by artists, albums, song names, and also create and share playlists.

Key benefits

• Deliver scalable and high-performing applications in Python.

• Delve into the great ecosystem of Python frameworks and libraries through projects that you will build with this book.

• This comprehensive guide will help you demonstrate the power of Python by building practical projects.

Description

Python is a very powerful, high-level, object-oriented programming language. It's known for its simplicity and huge community support. Python Programming Blueprints will help you build useful, real-world applications using Python. In this book, we will cover some of the most common tasks that Python developers face on a daily basis, including performance optimization and making web applications more secure. We will familiarize ourselves with the associated software stack and master asynchronous features in Python. We will build a weather application using command-line parsing. We will then move on to create a Spotify remote control where we'll use OAuth and the Spotify Web API. The next project will cover reactive extensions by teaching you how to cast votes on Twitter the Python way. We will also focus on web development by using the famous Django framework to create an online game store. We will then create a web-based messenger using the new Nameko microservice framework. We will cover topics like authenticating users and, storing messages in Redis. By the end of the book, you will have gained hands-on experience in coding with Python.

I have been torn on how many stars to give this book, and have changed my mind a few times. First I wanted to give it 5. Then 4... now 3.My reasons are the following:1) the projects are fantastic. There's a wide variety and you really get a taste of the different kinds of programming python is capable of. They're the kind of projects that every inexperienced programmer needs exposure to.2) The explanations are often very lazily done. You rarely get much more than a simple statement of what the code literally says. There is very little meaning or learning that takes place due to reading what is written. I made up for this by watching youtube videos on whatever topic we were coding, and then used the book as coding experience and implementation details. This worked very well for me, and I learned alot in doing so, but an author with more motivation could have done much better. I can be somewhat understanding of this because the great variety of the projects makes it difficult to explain in detail how the programs work without taking up alot of space, but he just didn't do a good job explaining even on a basic level.3) The code is buggy. It is clear the author did not bother to do basic testing of his code. The code is also overly modular in a way that does not really improve the organization or clarity of the program, but maybe that's a personal taste issue.I just smell laziness with this book, and I'm not in the mood for just handing out free stars. That being said, I would not really discourage you from purchasing it if you can overlook these things / are willing to watch youtube and debug a bit, because the variety of the projects is excellent and especially valuable to beginning programmers.

Got the book as a present. It's very interesting and rich of nice examples that, altogether, give a really good idea about how complex and vast software development is, but also how much fun it can be. Definitely recommended for those who like to learn by doing!
