A Comprehensive Guide to Web Development in Python

Image description

Python is slowly and gradually taking the driver seat because of its multi-use and quick approach. With the rise in machine learning, data analysis, web development, artificial intelligence, and web application, the demand for python is getting huge each day. There are many reasons to use python, plus it has got some powerful libraries, portability, and above all easy-to-learn syntax. Who can ask for more? Right…

Technology continues to evolve as humans are in constant search to find new ways to do things faster, innovatively, and of course better. No code and low code sprung to life in the hopes of making lives easy and better. The growth of the python language is constantly breaking records in the world of programming languages. Big brands like NASA, Cisco, Microsoft, IBM, Google, and many others are inculcating the usage of python in their businesses already.

Python language serves multi-purposes from web development to mobile application to data science. Even Stack Overflow suggests that it is one of the fast-growing programming languages.

Every year wealthy countries (as defined by the World Bank) are likely to explore different sets of technologies than the rest of the world. These high-stack countries are now focusing on Python. As per the RedMonk Ranking, Python is the second popular programming language with a growth of 18–19% in the last 5 years. Enriching features of Python makes it a popular choice for businesses and developers.

So, before we move further, let’s lay some groundwork.

What are the advantages of using python for web development?

Python was first coined in the late ’80s and named after its founder Monty Python. It is one of the reliable and most-used programming languages for artificial intelligence services. Plus an ideal choice for Web Development with Python. Before anything, it becomes vital to understand some benefits of using python in web development:

1. Scalable

Scalability refers to a web project’s ability to handle an increased number of users on a website. It ensures that your app does not collapse even when the number grows. If your web or app is not scalable, then it may need rework which will have various impacts on different aspects like engagement, developer’s hours, and development cost. Python is one of the most scalable and simple languages.

2. Clean and simple

Web developers are always in search of a simple language. A simple language not only helps users but also helpful for developers to document projects properly. Even it becomes easy for not-so-experienced developers, to look back into the coding and understand what to do without taking the help of senior developers. Compared to other programming languages python is very easy and simple to understand. So the Python web developer can make best use of its cleanliness.

3. Endless opportunities with IoT mix

In today’s world, where IoT is emerging in almost everything it becomes easy when a development language goes well with IoT technologies. Python blends well with IoT technologies. Raspberry Pi, is one of the most efficient devices used to integrate IoT technologies into real applications and Python is very compatible with it. The entire process is considered to be very affordable and comes in handy in the situation where budget is the constraint.

4. Prevent from committing mistakes

All programmers are not really fond of errors as the entire program can get failed even with a minor error. Error is a common thing in developers’ lives. But if you are using python then it is very much like a forgiving language, especially in the error case. Its codes are not broken in case of minor coding errors, who can ask for more.

5. Fewer codes more results

How great it would be if few codes can reap better results. Yes, it is very much possible with Python. With a few codes, python helps you perform more functions than any other programming language. Python is the most efficient, simple, and most convenient programming language.
