+I pretty recently switched jobs (from one IT consultancy to another).
 This also meant switching client project, and subsequently I would be working with another tech stack than what I had been using the last few years.

-TODO
+Create a file application.py with the following content:
+
+```python
+import streamlit as st
+
+st.title("Streamlit demo")
+```

+```bash
+streamlit run application.py
+```

+That's the "Hello world" of Streamlit applications.
+Now we're ready to explore some more features 😄.
