FastAPI is a relatively new web framework that has been growing a lot lately. We'll go through the features, and things that make the framework great, and understand why its popularity has been growing so fast.

We'll go through the history of the framework, and understand why it was created.
What was missing in the world that made FastAPI not only a new web framework, but the missing piece in the Python World.

Furthermore, we'll see how I went from a newbie to a FastAPI expert, and how you can become one as well.
No matter how much experience you are, this talk will still be useful to you if you're interested in helping our community.
