# Advanced User Guide { #advanced-user-guide }

## Additional Features { #additional-features }

The main [Tutorial - User Guide](../tutorial/index.md){.internal-link target=_blank} should be enough to give you a tour through all the main features of **FastAPI**.

In the next sections you will see other options, configurations, and additional features.

/// tip

The next sections are **not necessarily "advanced"**.

## Advanced User Guide { #advanced-user-guide }

There is also an **Advanced User Guide** that you can read later after this **Tutorial - User guide**.

The **Advanced User Guide** builds on this one, uses the same concepts, and teaches you some extra features.

But you should first read the **Tutorial - User Guide** (what you are reading right now).

# Advanced Security { #advanced-security }

## Additional Features { #additional-features }

There are some extra features to handle security apart from the ones covered in the [Tutorial - User Guide: Security](../../tutorial/security/index.md){.internal-link target=_blank}.

/// tip

The next sections are **not necessarily "advanced"**.

And it's possible that for your use case, the solution is in one of them.

/// tip

If you want to **learn FastAPI** in a structured way (recommended), go and read the [Tutorial - User Guide](../tutorial/index.md){.internal-link target=_blank} chapter by chapter instead.

This stacking behavior ensures that middlewares are executed in a predictable and controllable order.
