What is pip

By

 So, what is pip? pip is a package manager for Python. That means it’s a tool that allows you to install and manage additional libraries and dependencies that are not distributed as part of the standard library.


Package management is so important that pip has been included with the Python installer since versions 3.4 for Python 3 and 2.7.9 for Python 2, and it’s used by many Python projects, which makes it an essential tool for every Pythonista.


The concept of a package manager might be familiar to you if you are coming from other languages. JavaScript uses npm for package management, Ruby uses gem, and .NET use NuGet. In Python, pip has become the standard package manager.

What's a Webhook?

By
 A webhook is an API concept that's growing in popularity. As more and more of what we do on the web can be described by events, webhooks are becoming even more applicable. They're incredibly useful and a resource-light way to implement event reactions. So, what exactly is a webhook? A webhook is a way for an app to provide other application with real-time information.

This makes webhooks much more efficient for both provider and  consumer. The only drawback to webhooks is the difficulty of initially setting them up. Webhooks are sometimes referred to as "Reverse APIs," as they give you what amounts to an API spec, and you must design and API for the werbhook to use. The webhook will make an HTTP request to your app and you will then be charged with interpreting it.
