hello!

In layman’s terms, a programming language framework is a repository of resources that have been contributed to and maintained by a community of programmers, for use by their peers. A resource community of this nature therefore features pre-built codes to serve a multitude of purposes, which can then be used by others without the need to write from scratch. Due to this, programming frameworks offer solid support to developers from all backgrounds, and regardless of skill level. Here are 5 of the commonly used ones, for their respective programming languages.

 

1. Angular (for JavaScript)

At a time when single-page websites were beginning to come into vogue, developing them took considerable effort and time if they had to be made dynamic and interactive. Angular changed the game by simplifying the development of single-page websites, by easing the development of HTML scripts for faster and better interaction. This was approximately 10 years ago. Now, Angular has evolved to offer much more than it started with, gaining many a developer in its community along the way.

2. Laravel (for PHP)

While PHP has long since been the language of choice for a significant number of web development projects, its ratio of easy usability has made it even more indispensable. As a result, the Laravel programming framework is no exception either, and perfectly complements the ease of use which is featured by its respective programming language. Streamlining common tasks is what makes Laravel truly stand out. This includes but isn’t limited to routing, queuing, caching and authentication.

3. Django (for Python)

Python has been renowned for making even the most complex of web applications possible in record time. Django has been a key contributor to such massive milestones, by featuring extensive code libraries that house ready-to-use codes for practically any problem or purpose. Apart from being leveraged by its ever-growing community of developers, sophisticated AI and machine learning has further powered Django to go above and beyond its original capabilities.

4. Apache Struts (for Java)

Although a classic framework for Java, the Struts framework is well established for conventional yet highly effective reasons. Struts is the ideal example of a framework that utilizes the MVC (Model View Controller). By segmenting code and user requisites, the MVC offers stellar organization – something that Struts promptly facilitates.

5. ASP.NET (for C#)

Created by Microsoft, this in itself offers one of the biggest advantages for ASP.NET. Since the framework also uses the Microsoft server environment, this presents familiarity and less confusion pertaining to transition for any developer. ASP.NET can also increase the speed at which applications run, as codes are compiled just once and then re-run as often as needed.

In a nutshell…

No matter how tech-savvy you are, basic knowledge of leading languages and frameworks used for web development can take you a long way, as a business owner. Apart from offering your development team business insights, enable greater clarity via understanding the technologies they use to develop your applications, for all-round better
results.
