# 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%)
