Chapter 3. Accelerate your Data Analysis with Python Libraries

"Every vision is a joke until the first man accomplishes it; once realized, it becomes commonplace."

– Robert H Goddard

In this chapter, we will do a technical deep dive into the PixieApp framework. You will be able to use the following information both as a Getting Started tutorial and as reference documentation for the PixieApp programming model.

We will start with a high-level description of the anatomy of a PixieApp before diving in to its foundational concepts, such as routes and requests. To help follow along, we will incrementally build a GitHub Tracking sample application that applies the capabilities and best practices as they are being introduced, starting from building the data analytics to integrating them into the PixieApp.

By the end of this chapter, you should be able to apply the lessons...
