AI Book Club: Hands-On APIs for AI and Data Science

May's book is "Hands-On APIs for AI and Data Science"!

This is a casual-style event. Not a structured presentation on topics. Sometimes, the discussion even drifts away from the chapters, but feel free to grab the mic to help steer it back.

Feel free to join the discussion even if you have not read the book chapters! :)

Book Description:
Are you ready to grow your skills in AI and data science? A great place to start is learning to build and use APIs in real-world data and AI projects. API skills have become essential for AI and data science success, because they are used in a variety of ways in these fields. With this practical book, data scientists and software developers will gain hands-on experience developing and using APIs with the Python programming language and popular frameworks like FastAPI and StreamLit.
As you complete the chapters in the book, you'll be creating portfolio projects that teach you how to:

• Design APIs that data scientists and AIs love
• Develop APIs using Python and FastAPI
• Deploy APIs using multiple cloud providers
• Create data science projects such as visualizations and models using APIs as a data source
• Access APIs using generative AI and LLMs
