## Program and Process

We will talk a lot about the running "**process**", so it's useful to have clarity about what it means, and what's the difference with the word "**program**".

### What is a Program

The word **program** is commonly used to describe many things:

* The **code** that you write, the **Python files**.

    collected using form data (instead of JSON) and that it should have the specific
    fields `username` and `password`.

    All the initialization parameters are extracted from the request.

    The only difference between `OAuth2PasswordRequestFormStrict` and
    `OAuth2PasswordRequestForm` is that `OAuth2PasswordRequestFormStrict` requires the
    client to send the form field `grant_type` with the value `"password"`, which

You could also define it as a normal function instead of `async def`:

```Python hl_lines="7"
{!../../../docs_src/first_steps/tutorial003.py!}
```

!!! note
    If you don't know the difference, check the [Async: *"In a hurry?"*](../async.md#in-a-hurry){.internal-link target=_blank}.

### Step 5: return the content

```Python hl_lines="8"
{!../../../docs_src/first_steps/tutorial001.py!}
```

    Declare a FastAPI Security dependency.

    The only difference with a regular dependency is that it can declare OAuth2
    scopes that will be integrated with OpenAPI and the automatic UI docs (by default
    at `/docs`).

If you can choose a more recent version of Python for your project, you will be able to take advantage of that extra simplicity.

In all the docs there are examples compatible with each version of Python (when there's a difference).

For example "**Python 3.6+**" means it's compatible with Python 3.6 or above (including 3.7, 3.8, 3.9, 3.10, etc). And "**Python 3.9+**" means it's compatible with Python 3.9 or above (including 3.10, etc).

#### FastAPI's `HTTPException` vs Starlette's `HTTPException`

**FastAPI** has its own `HTTPException`.

And **FastAPI**'s `HTTPException` error class inherits from Starlette's `HTTPException` error class.

The only difference is that **FastAPI**'s `HTTPException` accepts any JSON-able data for the `detail` field, while Starlette's `HTTPException` only accepts strings for it.

So, you can keep raising **FastAPI**'s `HTTPException` as normally in your code.

**Concurrency** and **parallelism** both relate to "different things happening more or less at the same time".

But the details between *concurrency* and *parallelism* are quite different.

To see the difference, imagine the following story about burgers:

### Concurrent Burgers

You go with your crush to get fast food, you stand in line while the cashier takes the orders from the people in front of you. 😍

Mais les détails entre la **concurrence** et le **parallélisme** diffèrent sur de nombreux points.

Pour expliquer la différence, voici une histoire de burgers :

#### Burgers concurrents
