Best Practices in Django development

Google reinvented Python in past decade through its ambitious project called “Unladen swallow” that give name and fame to the language. Interestingly Google pause the project in the middle due to some internal problem still Python gained a performance boost of around three times than before. As a result, Python became a better choice for the industry to develop enterprise standard software applications. Moreover, Python get a tremendous support from the industry due to its exceptional performance for huge applications and that brought a positive vibe for Python among the software developers. In this situation, Django was born to make the Python development process not only easier but also efficient and faster. Django believes on “perfection within time frame” i.e., it doesn’t compromise on the quality of the Python application but it does the task efficiently within less time and deadline.

Develop efficient Python app in less time: As we discussed above Django is a powerful Python framework that helps the Python developers in developing quality and reliable end product in less time. It provides an awesome platform for Python web developers to develop modern futuristic web solutions for the industry that are backed with modern technologies and services. It provides performance report through various bottleneck calculations for your application like load testing, reliability, page loading time etc. This will definitely help the web developer to develop high performance web applications.

Django is MTV framework: Unlike common MVC architecture for frameworks Django provides a new generation MTV framework i.e., model template view architecture. Well this is not very different from that of MVC pattern. Rather it is the simpler form of the former. In MVC the view describes the interface for user data of the application but, in case of MTV, the same data is projected to the user but in a different form i.e., in a template. So it is just an advanced version of MVC architecture.

Develop asynchronous pages in Django: Django supports AJAX which is nothing but the foundation of asynchronous web application. Now the Python Django developers will get the advantage of AJAX and JSON while developing modern web applications for different devices that run on low memory like smart phones and tablets. Moreover, this will exert a dynamic look and feel to the web page of the application and hence this will improve the user experience as well as performance of the application.

Django templates are thin: As we discussed above about the MTV architecture of Django; now it’s time to spend few lines for the new template concept. Well Django provides a repository of templates for its Python developers. The best part is all these templates are extremely light weight but beautiful. These light weight or thin templates when integrated into the application creates light weight apps that are the requirement of the future generation browsers. Sometimes you may decide not to use any of those thin templates then Django gives you the freedom to integrate your own template for your application!! This proves the flexibility nature of Django.

Migration process is painless: Last but not the least, Django framework provides all types of support when a Python developer wants to migrate to a latest version of Django. This is a seamless process from the developer’s point of view. The best part is you can migrate to a lower version without any issue!!

You can hire developers from top python development companies in India who can help you build products within allocated budgets and time schedules.

We provide django development services. If you would like to hire django developers from our team, please get in touch with us at Mindfire Solutions.

Avoid these mistakes while using Python for Big Data

Python – A true friend of web developer: Python is one of those old languages which were developed to give tough competition with C and C++. No need to say, it is highly inspired from the object oriented programming approach of C++ with some enhanced features within it. Due to its similarity with C and C++, it can be used for developing machine programming, mobile application development, desktop application and web application too. Its motto is “Batteries included” indicates its potential to develop huge applications at a very less time due to presence of all necessary and common methods and modules. Hence, Python gets maximum priority from the software developers while developing any big data application. It has the potential to develop big applications in small time with maximum efficiency. At the same time due to its large library, often the web developer miss to use the inbuilt optimized functions which creates trouble in future like performance issue, optimisation issue and synchronization issues. Let us have a quick look over these common mistakes made by the Python developers while dealing with big data projects.

Testing is the only way out to get a stable product. Is it true?

Software development life cycle: Software are becoming an integrated part of our life. Knowingly or unknowingly we use them in various forms that may be tangible or intangible. Well we must know different stages of software development that we use to use for a cause. Software development lifecycle has following stages like feasibility test, designing flow of the application, developing the application, testing the application and maintenance. Among these stages, the most important part is software testing because if an application is projected to the end user without testing then it is definitely going to be a failure. Every product or software development has one common target i.e., to get a reliable and stable final product. Let us see how testing helps in achieving the target of the software developer.
