The Blessing That is Python
Uncategorised • 21st Jul, 15
Many would say that Python may not be as prevalent as PHP when it comes to the choice of which language to pick for web applications. This doesn’t mean that Python doesn’t step up to the challenge though, being the dynamic and interpreted language that it is. Encouraging exploratory and iterative development, there’s no doubt that the capabilities embodied the standard libraries which can be found here are impressive.
Not only does it install with its very own web server, but it also boasts numerous web page template systems which won’t cost you a thing, free database libraries, and even libraries for interfacing with the web server of your choice. This is all ready and at your disposal to download and apply for the specific web application project at hand. Not much work has to go into this thanks to the engineers who have created the various capable and diverse Python-based web frameworks. There are various Python frameworks which web developers can make use of, each of which represents a broad sampling of possibilities. This is good news, with one of these promising to be the perfect fit for whatever it is you need to complete.
Why did we choose Django?
Being both a mature and highly regarded framework, Django assumes that you already know Python very well. There’s no need for you to write your RDBMS interface code either thanks to the fact that you’ll be provided with good selection of all of the must-have capabilities need to accelerate web application development. Other things that you’ll be gifted with include a template system so that you won’t be required to battle when it comes to combining Python content with static HTML content on a web page, as well an administrative interface which will result in you being able to easily access the data on the back-end of your site. For those of you who are just started off – keep in mind that all of the time that you’ve put into learning Django’s API will be more than worth it!
Though there may be many Python frameworks for developers to choose from, our team of some of the most talented web developers in Cape Town have found Django to be the best option. Have a look at our latest work and let us know what you think!
