Concepts behind this area
REST API
A REST API exposes an application's data as resources at stable addresses and lets clients read and change them with HTTP's standard methods and status codes, so that the protocol itself carries most of the meaning.
Python
Python is a general-purpose programming language that became the standard interface for driving numerical and machine-learning code written in other languages.
Git
Git is a distributed version control system that records the history of a set of files as a graph of snapshots, lets many people work on branches of that history at once, and merges their work back together.
