In our last post, we began comparing the PHP frameworks Laravel and Symfony. We went over an overview of each framework, and also what particular advantages each one has. In this post, we’ll continue by discussing the following: Finally, we’ll go over which framework is right for your particular use case.
It’s quite natural to become sidetracked when balancing the many activities involved in software development. You must keep track of deadlines, application goals and your piece of the project, while handling internal and external communications and producing good code. That’s where software development tools come into play. There are a variety of applications available that are designed to make tasks easier for a developer.
Podcasts are a great way to learn from industry experts about specific topics. For people in mobile engineering or Mobile DevOps, there are some great tech and developer-geared podcasts available. Here’s a list of four podcast recommendations for mobile developers.
A program is compiled at runtime using a different method from pre-execution compilation. This process is known as just-in-time compilation or dynamic translation. In this post, we'll look at why JIT compilation can be a good choice for your Ruby on Rails app, before looking at some of the options available (YJIT, MJIT, and TenderJIT) and how to install them. But first: how does JIT compilation work?
Checking data types for variables is vital in any programming language to ensure a smooth and error-free development process. However, this becomes even more essential for accuracy when it comes to dynamically typed languages such as Javascript. In Javascript, one variable can hold multiple value types within the same file as shown below: To achieve this, one of the most commonly used operators is typeof.
In the best CSS framework, you can think of it as a design or cover that is supported by HTML, the default structure of your website. CSS has the advantage of being quick and simple to use, which is one of the reasons most web designers and developers use it. The foundation of your website is HTML, but CSS adds elegance, design, and functionality to its front end. There is probably not a single website in the world that does not use some kind of framework.
At some point, every software engineer will find themselves in a situation where they need to benchmark system performance and test the limits of what a given system can handle. This is a common problem in software engineering, and even more so in the applications that are well suited for Elixir. Finding bottlenecks early on in an application can save a lot of time, money, and effort in the long run, and give developers confidence in the upper limit of a system.
In my experience consulting the past few years, one thing has become clear: everyone struggles with scaling their SSR apps, no matter the chosen framework. SSR is expensive — running a lot of code intended for the browser, on the server, to pre-generate markup. Lately, web frameworks have been making strides in improving things, Solid.js being a great example of fast, performant SSR.
