# Assignment: Exploring Taipy - A Streamlit Alternative for Python Web Apps

## Objective
Investigate and evaluate Taipy as an alternative framework to Streamlit for building Python web applications. Compare its features, ease of use, and deployment options to Streamlit.

## Tasks
1. Getting Started with Taipy (25%)
- Install Taipy and set up a basic "Hello World" application
- Explain the core concepts and structure of a Taipy application
- Demonstrate how to create a simple data visualization app (e.g., a line chart of stock prices)

2. Advanced Features and Unique Capabilities (25%)
- Explore and implement at least two features that are unique to Taipy or significantly easier to achieve compared to Streamlit
- Possible areas to explore:
- Data pipelines and scenario management
- Advanced state management
- Custom styling and theming
- Integration with external services or APIs

3. Comparison with Streamlit (20%)
- Create a table comparing key features of Taipy and Streamlit
- Discuss strengths and weaknesses of each framework
- Identify scenarios where Taipy might be preferred over Streamlit, and vice versa

4. Deployment and Cloud Integration (10%)
- Investigate deployment options for Taipy applications
- Compare ease of deployment between Taipy and Streamlit
- Explore any cloud-specific features or integrations offered by Taipy

5. Critical Analysis (10%)
- Discuss any limitations or areas where Taipy falls short
- Suggest potential improvements or features you'd like to see in future versions

6. GitHub Repository Management (10%)
- Properly structure your GitHub repository
- Use meaningful commit messages
- Create a comprehensive README.md file

## Submission Guidelines
- All work must be submitted through the provided GitHub repository
- Your repository should include:
- A Jupyter notebook or Python script containing your code examples
- A markdown file (max 1000 words) addressing all the above points
- A README.md file with:
- Project overview
- Installation instructions
- Usage guide
- Link to deployed application (if applicable)
- Ensure all code is well-commented and documented
- Make regular, meaningful commits throughout the development process

## Evaluation Criteria
- Correct implementation of Taipy features (35%)
- Depth of analysis and comparison with Streamlit (25%)
- Code quality and documentation (20%)
- Creativity in exploring unique Taipy features (10%)
- GitHub repository management and documentation (10%)
