Python for Web Development

web development

Web development - It broadly refers to the work involved in designing, developing, and managing websites for intranet or internet hosting. Web programming, database management, web design, web publishing, and other aspects of website creation are all covered.

All of the codes that determine how a website works are included in web development. We can divide the entire web development process into two categories.

Front-end

Back-end

Though frontend and backend web development are distinct, they are similar in that they are two sides of the same coin. Each side of a complete website relies on the other to communicate and operate as a unified entity. In web development, both the front-end and back-end are equally crucial.

Real world examples of python web development include:
Netflix, Reddit, Spotify, Dropbox, Quora etc.

python framework

Python is one of the most widely used computer programming languages today. It has Web frameworks, such as Django and Flask, make Python considerably easier to use and remove a lot of the heavy lifting from backend writing.

Django

Django is a high-level Python web framework that enables designers to create fast, clean, and pragmatic designs. Django takes care of many of the intricacies of web development, allowing you to concentrate on developing your app rather than reinventing the wheel. It's open source and free.

Django utilizes ORM to map objects to database tables and to transfer data from one database to another.

It supports the majority of popular databases, including Oracle, MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQLite, and others.

Django is the major framework for backend development on a large number of websites in the business.

Django's characteristics

The following are some of the outstanding features of this Python web framework:

-Routing URLs

-Authentication

-Migrations of database schema

-ORM stands for Organizational Resource Management (Object-relational mapper)

-Engine for creating templates

A Django framework example:

Django is one of the greatest frameworks to consider if you're planning to construct a highly configurable project, such as a social media website. Django's strength is in user interaction and the ability to exchange various forms of material. Django's ability to leverage a broad community-based support network provides you with highly customisable third-party ready-to-use plugins in your applications.

flask

Flask supports a number of extensions that extend the application's functionality as if they were built into the framework itself. Object-relational mappers, form validation, upload handling, different open authentication protocols, and other framework-related tools all have extensions.

Flask Characteristics

-Support for unit testing that is integrated

-Request dispatching with a restful interface

-This package includes a development server and a debugger.

-Jinja2 templating is used.

-Secure cookies are supported.

-Unicode-based

-WSGI 1.0 compliant to the nth degree

-Documentation is extensive.

-Compatibility with Google App Engine

-Extensions are provided to improve desired characteristics.

To recapitulate, due of its lightweight, Flask is one of the most popular python web frameworks. Despite its diminutive size, it is a Python web framework that may be extended. Flask speeds up the construction of basic web applications by providing the essential features. As a result, Flask is better suited to simpler, smaller applications.
