Overview of this book

Network programming has always been a demanding task. With full-featured and well-documented libraries all the way up the stack, Python makes network programming the enjoyable experience it should be. Starting with a walk through of today's major networking protocols, through this book, you'll learn how to employ Python for network programming, how to request and retrieve web resources, and how to extract data in major formats over the web. You will utilize Python for emailing using different protocols, and you'll interact with remote systems and IP and DNS networking. You will cover the connection of networking devices and configuration using Python 3.7, along with cloud-based network management tasks using Python. As the book progresses, socket programming will be covered, followed by how to design servers, and the pros and cons of multithreaded and event-driven architectures. You'll develop practical clientside applications, including web API clients, email clients, SSH, and FTP. These applications will also be implemented through existing web application frameworks.

Summary

In this chapter, we reviewed some frameworks and libraries that try to solve the problem of sequential programming by using event-driven programming, in which a single main loop is executed. This is responsible for calling the functions that are defined by the programmer, known as events. In this way, in a server that serves information to several clients, it is possible to share this information among all the connections without having to worry about blocking or allowing access to it. We reviewed asyncio, aiohttp, Tornado, Twisted, and Celery for building asynchronous network applications.

In the next chapter, you will learn about the basics of Python web frameworks and developing web applications with the Flask framework and SQLAlchemy.
