I’m building a free Data Science course for students who know some Python but need a stronger way to stand out.

Python, pandas, SQL, ML, Quarto, Shiny, GitHub, AI workflows, and the story behind the work.

Early feedback welcome:

[Leapcell: Ship 20 Projects, Free @LeapcellHQ]

@jcasman Thanks for sharing Leapcell, really appreciate it! If you run into any problems, feel free to reach out.

[Jesse Casman @jcasman]

@grappeggia We've tried Vercel for previous projects. Performance was an issue. For FastOpp, we've used Leapcell and Fly because we're focusing on student budgets, being able to get up and running without using a credit card in the beginning.

[Marcos Grappeggia @grappeggia]

@jcasman Have you tried deploying at Vercel? We've been exploring ways to make entrypoint detection more flexible/robust, so I'd be curious about your experience there

New! “Versioning your database with SQLAlchemy and Alembic.”

Ah-ha: changing your models doesn’t touch the DB until you generate and run a migration, so you can review changes before they hit prod.

I’ve been looking at different ways to deploy a FastAPI-based application. I’ve used Fly and Leapcell recently.

Calling all students! FastOpp is a well-scaffolded, opinionated open source technology stack for building AI web apps. It bridges the gap between learning frameworks and real-world AI-first apps.

New scaffolded FastAPI project - modern stack (FastAPI, SQLite, HTMX, Tailwind) includes examples of how to extend it into working AI-first app. Gives beginners something more structured than tutorials but less intimidating than building from scratch.
