    About this ebook

    Take your Python machine learning ideas and create serverless web applications accessible by anyone with an Internet connection. Some of the most popular serverless cloud providers are covered in this book—Amazon, Microsoft, Google, and PythonAnywhere.

    You will work through a series of common Python data science problems in an increasing order of complexity. The practical projects presented in this book are simple, clear, and can be used as templates to jump-start many other types of projects. You will learn to create a web application around numerical or categorical predictions, understand the analysis of text, create powerful and interactive presentations, serve restricted access to data, and leverage web plugins to accept credit card payments and donations. You will get your projects into the hands of the world in no time.

    Each chapter follows three steps: modeling the right way, designing and developing a local web application, and deploying onto a popular and reliable serverless cloud provider. You can easily jump to or skip particular topics in the book. You also will have access to Jupyter notebooks and code repositories for complete versions of the code covered in the book.

    What You’ll Learn

    • Extend your machine learning models using simple techniques to create compelling and interactive web dashboards
    • Leverage the Flask web framework for rapid prototyping of your Python models and ideas
    • Create dynamic content powered by regression coefficients, logistic regressions, gradient boosting machines, Bayesian classifications, and more
    • Harness the power of TensorFlow by exporting saved models into web applications
    • Create rich web dashboards to handle complex real-time user input with JavaScript and Ajax to yield interactive and tailored content
    • Create dashboards with paywalls to offer subscription-based access
    • Access API data such as Google Maps,OpenWeather, etc.
    • Apply different approaches to make sense of text data and return customized intelligence
    • Build an intuitive and useful recommendation site to add value to users and entice them to keep coming back
    • Utilize the freemium offerings of Google Analytics and analyze the results
    • Take your ideas all the way to your customer's plate using the top serverless cloud providers

    Who This Book Is For

    Those with some programming experience with Python, code editing, and access to an interpreter in working order. The book is geared toward entrepreneurs who want to get their ideas onto the web without breaking the bank, small companies without an IT staff, students wanting exposure and training, and for all data science professionals ready to take things to the next level.

      We’re going to create a very simple Flask web application (Figure 1-1) that we will reuse in the next four sections when we explore cloud-based services from Amazon AWS, Google Cloud, Microsoft Azure, and Python Anywhere.

      Flask

      It is a good idea to start with a local version of your website working on your local machine before venturing out onto the cloud.

      Note

      Download the files for Chapter 1 by going to www.apress.com/9781484238721 and clicking the source code button. Open Jupyter notebook "chapter1.ipynb" to follow along with this chapter’s content.

      A Simple Local Flask Application

      The code in this section is very simple, and you can either write it from scratch or use the files in folder "simple-local-flask-application."

      Step 1: Basic Hello World! Example

      Let’s create a very simple Flask script straight from the official Flask help docs (Listing 1-1).

      from flask import Flask

      app = Flask(__name__)

      @app.route(/)

      def hello():

          return Hello World!

      Listing 1-1

      Simple Flask Script

      That’s it! Even-though this doesn’t do much, it represents the minimum of what is needed to get a Flask website up and running; it is a real web application. Save the script as "main.py" anywhere on your local machine (and you can name it anything you want).

      Step 2: Start a Virtual Environment

      It’s always a good idea to segregate your development work using virtual environments from the rest of your machine (and this also comes in handy when building "requirements.txt files—see the section on Creating a ‘requirements.txt’ File" in the introduction). Let’s start a virtual environment (Listing
