Episode 64: Detecting Deforestation With Python & Using GraphQL With Django and Vue
Are you looking for an in-depth data science project to practice your skills on? Perhaps you would like to add new tools to your Python web development projects instead? This week on the show, David Amos is back, and he’s brought another batch of PyCoder’s Weekly articles and projects.
David shares an article about how to go about detecting deforestation from satellite images. He covers how a data science team built a machine learning (ML) solution to do just that, using FastAI for the modeling and Streamlit to create a dashboard.
We also discuss a Real Python article about building a blog using Django, Vue.js, and GraphQL. GraphQL is a great tool to enhance your API to make it more flexible. The step by step project walks you through turning your Django blog data models into a GraphQL API.
We cover several other articles and projects from the Python community including, the tools and tech used to run a one-woman hardware company, visualizing data in Python using plt.scatter(), why the sad face when using Black, how to iterate over dataframe rows (and should you?), pipx is now a PyPA member project, and real-time lossless audio compression in Python with pyFLAC.
