Summary
In this chapter, we introduced Streamlit from a theoretical point of view and looked at several reasons that make this framework an incredible tool for creating web applications and prototypes quickly and easily. Turning an idea into a prototype – or even better, into a working web application – quickly, easily, and painlessly is a terrific weapon in our hands. The power of such a library can only be fully expressed by using it, so let’s not wait any longer and start setting up our coding environment!
To start coding, we still need some things: a good operating system with a Python installation, an integrated development environment (IDE), virtual environments, and more.
In the next chapter, we are going to ensure that everything we need will be available and fully functioning. Don’t worry – this installation will act as the foundation for all our future developments!
