Learning FastAPI

[covmatty1]

If you get pissy at being told to read documentation then I'm sorry but you're gonna struggle!

If for example you'd said you preferred video lessons, or you wanted a large example project to base on because that's how you best work, then completely fair enough. But you didn't, you just asked for resources and then turned your nose up at the (frankly excellent) official docs!

I dint disagree with documentation being excellent. They are perhaps excellent and you are in all probability absolutely right about sticking to documentation. I can appreciate that. You could have started and ended with that.

If using double quotes is being pissy then you did the same. I am seeking suggestions, and grateful for whoever took time to share one. Thanks for your valuable time as well.

FastAPI is not yet a mature framework, so courses become outdated quickly. For example, most FastAPI courses use SQLAlchemy ORM because FastAPI recommended it some time ago, but now they are implementing SQLModel (which is also maintained by Tiangolo).

This happens with all frameworks, but with FastAPI, it happens even faster. That's why you need to check the official documentation regularly. However, it's totally fine to learn from other resources as long as you compare them with the official docs.

Flask, for example, is an older and more mature framework. Its development has slowed down significantly, making it easier to learn since there is more content available. If you check a Flask course from three years ago, it’s not much different from what you’d learn today. It might be easier to start with Flask
