Python is already used in the backend of most web applications, but sadly it does not work with web browsers to drive the frontend of those applications. Transcrypt can help by creating more coherent web-based projects, using Python to write both the backend and the frontend.

This course builds on the lessons in Using the Python Transcrypt Transipler for Front-end Coding to implement a complete React and Python web-based project. In each chapter, we will refactor existing code to add new functionality, building up the application as you go. Each chapter ends with a running application that includes all of the features we added up to that specific point.

Using Python and Transcrypt to Build a Complete Web Application

# Single-page application approach

The type of applications we’ll see in this course is ideal for structure as a **single-page application (SPA)**. This means that instead of using server-rendered web pages that use server-side templates for views, our web client will receive the entire application with all the views all at once, as a single page. The client-side will manage any modifications in views or rendering. Once the initial application is loaded, the web client will only be required to send data requests back to the server, typically received in the form of JSON or XML. While the initial application load may be a bit slower than server-rendered pages, subsequent re-renderings are very fast since there is no round-trip to the server for UI information. This architecture also allows excellent web browser caching optimizations.
