### What is a Process

The word **process** is normally used in a more specific way, only referring to the thing that is running in the operating system (like in the last point above):

* A particular program while it is **running** on the operating system.

I have been avoiding the creation of a new framework for several years. First I tried to solve all the features covered by **FastAPI** using many different frameworks, plug-ins, and tools.

```Python hl_lines="2"
{!../../../docs_src/python_types/tutorial001.py!}
```

### Edit it

It's a very simple program.

But now imagine that you were writing it from scratch.

At some point you would have started the definition of the function, you had the parameters ready...

But then you have to call "that method that converts the first letter to upper case".

!!! check "vérifier"
    Donc, avec ces mêmes déclarations de type Python, **FastAPI** vous fournit de la validation de données.

    Notez que l'erreur mentionne le point exact où la validation n'a pas réussi.

    Ce qui est incroyablement utile au moment de développer et débugger du code qui interagit avec votre API.

## Documentation

```Python hl_lines="3"
{!../../../docs_src/first_steps/tutorial001.py!}
```

Here the `app` variable will be an "instance" of the class `FastAPI`.

This will be the main point of interaction to create all your API.

### Step 3: create a *path operation*

#### Path

"Path" here refers to the last part of the URL starting from the first `/`.

So, in a URL like:

```

Pendant que vous êtes assis à table, en attendant que les burgers 🍔 soient prêts, vous pouvez passer ce temps à admirer à quel point votre crush 😍 est géniale, mignonne et intelligente ✨😍✨.

```Python hl_lines="2"
{!../../../docs_src/python_types/tutorial001.py!}
```

### Limitations

C'est un programme très simple.

Mais maintenant imaginez que vous l'écriviez de zéro.

À un certain point vous auriez commencé la définition de la fonction, vous aviez les paramètres prêts.

Mais vous aviez besoin de "cette méthode qui convertit la première lettre en majuscule".

* **Asynchronous Code**
* **`async` and `await`**
* **Coroutines**

## Asynchronous Code

Asynchronous code just means that the language 💬 has a way to tell the computer / program 🤖 that at some point in the code, it 🤖 will have to wait for *something else* to finish somewhere else. Let's say that *something else* is called "slow-file" 📝.

デフォルトの例外ハンドラを`fastapi.exception_handlers`からインポートして再利用することができます:

```Python hl_lines="2 3 4 5 15 21"
{!../../../docs_src/handling_errors/tutorial006.py!}
```

この例では、非常に表現力のあるメッセージでエラーを`print`しています。

Just remember, the most important point is: try to be kind. People come with their frustrations and in many cases don't ask in the best way, but try as best as you can to be kind. 🤗
