Python is the language of
choice for millions of developers worldwide, due to its gentle learning
curve as well as its vast applications in day-to-day programming. It
builds great web services in the RESTful architecture. This video will
show you the best tools you can use to build your own web services.
Learn how to develop RESTful APIs using the popular Python frameworks
and all the necessary stacks with Python and Tornado, combined with
related libraries and tools. We will delve into the framework for
building various web services. We will show you everything required to
successfully develop RESTful APIs with the Tornado framework such as
request handling, URL mapping, serialization, validation,
authentication, authorization, versioning, databases, and asynchronous
callbacks. At the end of the framework, we will add authentication and
security to the RESTful APIs and prepare tests for them. By the end of
the video, you will have a deep understanding of the stacks needed to
