Pros and Cons of CakePHP - The Complete List

09/02/2015 12:27

php application developmentCakePHP is hugely popular among web programmers due to its effectiveness in making web application development faster and simples. The open source PHP framework further enables developers to create modern internet apps without writing longer lines of code. Despite being written in PHP, CakePHP follows several concepts of Ruby on Rails. At the same time, it also supports web development for both PHP4 and PHP5, along with several software engineering concepts. However, you still need to consider the pros and cons of CakePHP, if you are planning to use it for building your next internet applications.

Major Advantages

  • CakePHP supports several widely used software development models including Model-View-Controller (MVC). So developers can use the MVC pattern to keep the business logic and interface separate. The separation makes it easier programmers to simultaneously work on different models. Further, they can easily maintain and update the large web applications without working from the scratch.

  • The code generation and scaffolding feature of CakePHP enables programmers to rapidly create prototypes and reusable code. The code reusability makes developers more productive, while reducing the overall development time. Further, they can rapidly create new PHP applications by reusing the existing code for different projects.

  • Unlike other PHP development frameworks, CakePHP does not require programmers to use complex XML or YAML files. They can simply setup the database, and start application development. Also, the framework effectuates database management by automating the features. The programmers can further use the built-in validation and authentication functionality of CakePHP to avoid writing additional code.

  • CakePHP also comes with a templating system that is both fast and flexible. It further allows programmers to enhance the application’s look and feel by creating custom templates. Some developers even help enterprises in designing tailor-made custom CakePHP templates within a shorter amount of time.

  • Many developers find it daunting to work with standard PHP classes. While dealing with different classes, CakePHP allows programmers to directly access Core and App directories. So it becomes easier for them to define the functions of each class in a much simpler way.

  • In comparison to other PHP frameworks, CakePHP comes with more innovative built-in tools to make the web applications safe and secure. The programmers can use the built-in tools to prevent SQL injection and cross site scripting (XSS) attacks. Also, the tools help developers to validate user input, and prevent form tampering and CSRF.

Significant Disadvantages

  • Many users feel that documentation of CakePHP is inadequate and needs improvement. Despite being a simple and easy-to-learn, CakePHP is considered to be more complex than other PHP frameworks like CodeIgniter. So the developers have to invest both time and effort to learn various aspects of CakePHP.

  • Unlike other PHP frameworks like Symfony, CakePHP does not support default routes for Fancy URLs. So while crating Fancy URLs, programmers are required to update the default routes. The feature adversely affects the efficiency of CakePHP for modern web application development.

  • Some users have also highlighted the difficulties in migrating from version 2.x to 3.x of CakePHP. To become faster, CakePHP 3 does not support a number of backwards compatible changes. That is why; web programmers cannot easily switch their existing applications to the updated version of the PHP framework. However, the developers can directly use CakePHP 3 to develop applications with the new features.

Despite these limitations, CakePHP still complements the latest trends in web development. As it is an open source web application development framework, it can be used by both small and large businesses to rapidly create commercial PHP applications. However, you must not forget evaluate the pros and cons of CakePHP according to the nature and requirements of your next internet application. You can hire developers from top PHP development company India who can help you build projects within allocated budgets and time schedules.

Few facts on Eclipse in Java

05/02/2015 12:31

Java web developmentJava is a language which has the capability to deal with any type of applications starting from hardware programming, desktop applications, mobile applications and web applications etc. The most important part is it never compromises on the quality of an application or product at any cost. Hence, there is a tremendous popularity of java developers in the industry. Java has a unique feature of platform independent that makes it the first choice to develop any application for any purpose. Eclipse is a platform or IDE to write java code. There are many plugins which provides APIs so that it can extend the functionality of eclipse to a large extent. These eclipse java development tools are categorised into five parts. Let us discuss those five components.

 

JDT APT: This is the most vital component of the eclipse java platform. It provides support for the annotation processing to the java projects developed eclipse platform. It also contributes for the annotation based build artifacts during incremental build process and it also contributes for problem markers of annotation based problems.

 

JDT Core: It is the core of the java development tool and it is the non-user interface infrastructure. JDT core is a java model that provides API for navigating different java elements in the java element tree. Java element tree means a java focused view of any application project. It has elements like binary classes, package fragments, compilation units, types, fields and methods etc. On the core of the unit, it has an indexed based search infrastructure for different purposes like code assist, refactoring, type hierarchy competition etc. It also provides support for evaluation purpose.

 

JDT Debug: Debugging is the most vital component for any application process. JDT debug enables the java developers to debug the application developed on the java eclipse platform. It is done by the debug model of the platform debugger which is totally isolated from the programme language. It helps in providing two way mode for the java virtual machine in either run or debug mode. It enables the java developer in attaching to a running java virtual machine. It has a powerful feature that is having a dynamic class reloading where supported by JVM.

 

JDT Text: JDT text is the most useful feature of eclipse which directly helps the java developer while working on the IDE. It gives colours to the key words and different syntax of java programme it also provides indentation to the application in different levels so that the code will look much professional on the IDE. It also provides search matches option and break points so that the developer can debug the code with more efficiency. It also formats the code for the application.

 

JDT UI: JDT UI implements java specific work bench contributions like outline view, package explorer, type hierarchy view and wizards to create java elements. It also provides support for refactoring purpose like safe rename of java elements and extracting methods for the application. So we can say eclipse is a fully fledged java IDE which enables the java web developer in developing enterprise standard java applications. You can get in touch with a Java web development company who can help you develop web apps that are stable, scalable and secure.

Few tips to estimate better by a Java programmer

29/01/2015 11:31

Java web developmentIt’s difficult to estimate an application before a single line of code written on the IDE: Can you imagine having a lifelong relationship with someone, about whom you don’t have any clue!! Nope!! The similar case happens when a java programmer is projected to estimate a java application at a time, when there is not a single line of code on his Java IDE!! It is probably one of the hardest tasks for any java developer or manager. But again, we have to start from somewhere so why not from here!! So, let’s have a brief analysis over how to start our next java application with a systematic manner so that we can avoid some unpleasant situations.

Understand the requirement of client properly: The most important step for any application development is to focus on the target or you can say aim. For the same, the java developer or programmer must communicate properly with the client and should try to understand what he is expecting from us. The developer must understand his requirements in order to kick start his process. After understanding the requirement, he must test feasibility of the application i.e. whether his requirements can be achievable within the technology constraints or not!!; because, sometimes we find some peculiar demands of clients which are technically unachievable till then. So, in that case, the java programmer must inform about the situation to the client with some other alternatives which can match his requirements to a close extent.

Develop a flow chart for your upcoming java application: After requirement gather, the Java developer must make a sketch of the flow diagram of the application. Well, this flow diagram is not final but still the developer must concentrate more on the flow chart in order to avoid some substandard obstacles in future.

You must expect an unexpected circumstance in future: Though it is a virtual step, but still we must think beyond our heart and mind. We should assume some unexpected obstacles that may come under our path in future to avoid unnecessary conflict with the client. So we should keep some extra space around to roam in case of any emergency or unexpected situations.

Determine the essential and optional modules to be developed: Now, the Java developer should start listing for the essential as well as optional module names that may be required over time. In this stage, the java programmer should analyse the flow of the application in advance to avoid future collision.

Put your experience and expertise to determine an estimated time and work hour: In order to provide a deadline to the client for which our client is extremely anxious, we must pay special attention considering all the constraints. Here, you have to put all our effort, experience and expertise that you have had gained over time to meet the client expectation. I would suggest playing a safe side here, you must keep some room for unexpected situations of future and unexpected demand of the client who wants all his new demands should fulfil within that old deadline!!

Still we can’t ignore human errors!! It is obvious that we can’t ignore the human errors in any case and hence in this case as well! For the same, more than 90% java projects crosses the deadline and we have to admit it!! You can get in touch with a Java web application development company who can help you develop web apps that are stable, scalable and secure.

JavaScript has come of age - How can it be justified?

27/01/2015 13:20

JavaScript web developmentJavaScript is not any language and has in fact has been around since the 90’s. Originally created by Brendan Eich for assisting in building up of the dynamic web pages, it still continues to actively contribute in enhancing web pages to this day.

JavaScript has evolved considerably with the passage of time from what it originally was to its present condition. A number of features have been included and the language has evolved considerably over all these years for the better. The real beauty of JavaScript is not confined to the purpose for building such a clean language or how easily it offers the web developers a solution but the beauty lies in the ability of the language to go on evolving with the technological community. Regardless of whether it is a .NET shop or a Java shop, or even a Rails shop, with the incorporation of the JavaScript frameworks (MVC-based) one time, the companies starts evolving with a mindset that is similar to an open-source one.

Refocusing on community building

With this, the companies are able to use the best tool for approaching a particular problem approach, or using the best framework applicable for the job. JavaScript has started to refocus the developers on the community that lies behind one technology that thereby allows them in analyzing the use of a certain tool. This has also initiated the attitude amongst the companies in moving from a one size for all mentality (within programming) to a more community driven and progressive mentality.

Scripts can interact better with webpages

These additions have further facilitated writing on the JavaScript with all possible sorts of (additional) cleaner ways to allow the script in interacting more with the web page. At the same time, it is able in keeping the script entirely separated from the HTML as well as any other script that you want to attach to the same page. However the original JavaScripts work exactly in the same manner as they did when those were the only way of working JavaScript allowed. All these old JavaScripts still work fine and unless it breaks down, one is not interested in updating the same.

People who have not learned to write their own JavaScript and use the ones written by other people, have a greater collection of the old scripts (to choose from) as compared to the modern day unobtrusive scripts.

Several reasons account for this like there are many such scripts that have been written already and are available for using in appropriate cases. Certain script repositories simply list all working ones that are available to them. This list is inclusive of the scripts that have been patched together by the people who have not learned the method of writing down modern unobtrusive JavaScript.

Modernizing the scripts

In certain cases, the older scripts are retained along with the provision of a link to attach the user to a more modernized version of those scripts in particular. This approach basically comes as a sort of relief as well as a bit of help for clarifying the equivalent functionality that the modernized scripts will provide to the people who have still been using the older ones.

This equivalent functionality provided by the modern versions will be provided in less obtrusive manner and will as well act as an example for the people who prefer writing their own scripts. These people also want to observe the types of changes that are required to be included for modernizing a script. On comparing the new and the old versions of JavaScript, one can observe the types of alterations that might be essential for him/her to make for modernizing his/her own scripts.

The old scripts will not disappear ever completely from the web as long as they are working as they serve various helpful purposes even if better ways of coding are available nowadays.

All future additions to the JavaScript imply that whatever is considered as a best practice at present may not be the same for eternity. Those will however be considered eventually as less perfect method of writing one’s code. The scripts also will turn into the ones that will require rewriting in order to use better techniques of coding which will be developed after writing of the script.

There will always be newer and better ways to write a code as long as JavaScript continues evolving in order to become more finely tuned. These ways will be introduced into the language with multiple numbers of the scripts that will be in use at that particular time be considered for using a less than the most optimal approach in the way the way they are generally written in. JavaScript is actually evolving the entire arena of technology as much as the language is evolving itself.

The demand of Perl programming language

23/01/2015 14:29

Perl web developmentPerl, also known as Practical Extraction and Reporting Language, is a dynamic programming language that is known for its straightforwardness. It was developed in 1987 by Larry Wall as a general-purpose language for scripting in Unix. It was aimed at simplifying report processing. As a scripting language it is quite well respected and is used for various purposes. Since it can be applied to carry out a variety of tasks, the demand for its use has increased. The programmers can utilize this language in creating corresponding DOS batch files or develop CGI scripts for web development. It should be noted that in respect to web development, its use is restricted to developing CGI scripts.

Here are some of the reasons why Perl is being used widely –

Easy to learn

The source codes for the programs being developed with Perl is given away by people who are using this language. As a result those who are interested in learning it can refer to the examples for the same. Moreover, these are also downloadable as well as can be modified for personal use. However, the disadvantage of Perl is that since it is a free code, most of it is difficult to comprehend. It results in a cryptic style.

Working with Perl is fun

Writing code for Perl is quite rewarding as well as fun. The usual idiosyncrasies associated with passing a context, memory allocation, inconvenient data regarding complex data structure, etc can be avoided. As a result the codes are brief as well as effective. Similarly, there are a number of DWIMmeries that ensure simple programming. With a little help the codes developed can be made portable across every UNIX as well as Windows and other platforms. It is extensively documented. Hence, interactive answers for questions related to online chats, mailing lists and web forums are available.

Open Source

It is an open source and free software that can be used for almost anything. Right from in-house software, non-open source commercial software, web software, etc – it can be used in all these and more.

Useful for diverse tasks

This is one of its USPs. Perl has been used for diverse tasks successfully that includes system administration, web automation, text processing, web programming, code generation, GUI programming, bio-informatics, games programming, number crunching, code generation, etymological research and to ensure quality.

Quick and easy to write

As far as Perl 5 is considered it has borrowed features from some of the key programming paradigms. Moreover, it has implemented these features in a consistent manner. Being a dynamic language it supports Aspect Oriented Programming, Object-Oriented Programming and several such latest features to make sure that the codes can be written quickly in order to complete the task at hand. Therefore, it has proved to be a powerful as well as influential language in the contemporary period. If one is well acquainted with Perl, there will be no issues in picking up Java, Python, Ruby or .NET. It is also considered as a fundamental for learning C++ and ANSI C. Additionally it also helps in improving the code writing in various languages.

Reusing the codes

Comprehensive Perl Archive Network refers to a useful collection of reusable Perl web development modules that are available with open source licenses. Thus, these can be used as libraries in order to facilitate code writing. What the programmers can do is look for a CPAN search or ask someone else for a recommendation instead of writing the code for themselves.

Write maintainable programs

The codes written using this code are actually elegant, maintainable and readable. Owing to the varied features, the programs written with it are short and this is the reason why people use it most of the times. However, this can also be used to write large scale maintainable programs.

While there are several benefits of Perl but it cannot be overlooked that it does has some problems. Even today it is recognized as one of the finest solutions to write system administration scripts in a large class. In fact, by utilizing Comprehensive Perl Archive Network, one can get over with the job quickly and more easily as compared to the other languages. At the same time it also must be admitted that Perl is not meant for everyone. Therefore, while there is a demand for this scripting language but it might be limited as well.

Which is stronger? Python or PHP

21/01/2015 12:38

Python development

The debate between PHP and Python with regards to the respective strength of each as a stronger framework has been dong the rounds for quite some time now. Based on flexibility, provisions for friendlier development, options of support for varying number of functions arguments, licensing policy with respect to open source or fully commercial, portability, dynamic typing, community and the ability for freezing live objects within a string representation, the comparisons are drawn.

Features Supporting PHP

A number of features support the widely popular language of PHP. Namespaces are nonexistent in this language. The functions at times have prefixes to them in order to denote their source but often, they don’t have. The functions in PHP are placed quite often into the classes in order to simulate namespaces.

Being an extremely casual language, where quite often Globals are used for passing arguments and the use of global variables is discouraged since those are language independent. The environment is that of a commonly installed environment.

It has a single type of arrays that double up as a list as well as a dictionary. The dictionary keys are iterated according to their original order. PHP offers the developers with excellent documentation facilities along with a huge Community base along with a huge supportive codebase that is available online.

Features Supporting Python

Contrary to it, Python contains Namespaces and modules along with a small core. The language has Indentation for marking out the block structure instead of the curly braces that make the code look prettier. It has a concise, clear as well as an orthogonal syntax with self documenting through docstrings and pydoc. There are keyword arguments assigned to methods and functions to provide easy support in case of default arguments.

It has true object type of orientation along with ‘first class’ classes and functions. These classes have been used extensively in standard library. It has method chaining, multiple inheritance, object-oriented system for file handling, ‘del’ statement for all data types, consistent case sensitivity, threading, operator overloading along with iterators and structured exception handling like that of PHP 5.

It provides support for all the major GUI frameworks along with strong internationalization along with UNICODE support. It is known for being a mature, stable and upward-compatible language and it tends to lead into many more scalable applications.

Contrary to PHP, that consists of web development features which are built directly into the core language, the capabilities of web development in case of Python have been provided by various add-on modules.

The primary CGI capabilities are provided by the ‘cgi’ module that comes in the standard library of the same. There is even a wide array of various third-party modules that are available with respect to Python; some of which are complementary while others compete. These results in Python providing the users with an even more flexible base for carrying out projects related to web development.

However, there are certain adverse effects with respect to this flexibility like the choices and the entire range can be quite confusing.

PHP is a lot easier to begin with as a web developer unless one is highly experienced with working on Python. Moreover, support with respect to PHP is generally more common in case of the shared-hosting companies as compared to that for Python.

Furthermore, PHP unlike Python is embedded in the web server, whereas web applications for the latter have the option to be either embedded in the web server or to be run in a separate process.

Speed of Execution

Neither of the language has largely an advantage over the other and each has different things to offer for different spheres.

Maintenance

With respect to maintenance, Python is lot easier to maintain as compared to PHP even if one has not used the first language for a considerable time span. The scope access of Python is a better option.

Support/Community

Support and Community is definitely better for PHP but of late, there has been a change as large Python communities are helping out the users.

Python is preferred to the other language for developing a scalable application as it’s relatively easier here. Moreover, Google offers Python with more supports as compared to PHP with the Google App Engine that has the provision of free hosting for websites. You can get in touch with a custom Python development company who can help you develop web apps that are stable, scalable and secure.

Discussing the various components in .Net framework

19/01/2015 13:44

.NET development services.NET Framework is a partially open source and a freeware software framework that has been developed by team Microsoft. It runs basically on Microsoft Windows and consists of a huge class library named as FCL (Framework Class Library). It provides the user with language interoperability option across different programming languages. The programs that are written for .NET Framework are executed in a software environment which is known as CLR or Common Language Runtime. With varied technologies and tools provided by this platform, it helps in the development of web, Windows as well as Enterprise applications.

Besides the CLR and FLR, there are other components of this framework. These include Dynamic Language Runtimes (DLR), Runtime Host, Application Domains, .NET Framework Security, Cross-Language Interoperability, Common Type System, Profiling, Side-by-Side Execution and Metadata and Self-Describing Components.

Common Language Runtime (CLR)

Common Language Runtime or CLR is a runtime environment provided by .Net Framework. This environment has the ability to run all .Net Programs. The code that is used for running under the CLR is termed as Managed Code. Programmers need not to worry about the issue of memory management in the event of programs running under the CLR since it has the provision of the same in addition to thread management.

Whenever a program requires memory, CLR programmatically makes the allocation of memory for scope and de-allocates the same on completion of the same. The language compilers such as C#, .Net, J #, and VB will assist in the conversion of the Program or Code to a Microsoft Intermediate Language or MSIL which in turn will get converted to the native code by the CLR.

.Net Framework Class Library

Also known as Base Class Library, it is a common library for all types of applications with respect to the way of accessing the Library Classes along with the methods in VB.NET. It will be the same for all other languages in .NET including C#. This component provides data access, cryptography, database connectivity, user interface, numeric algorithms, network communications as well as web application development. The .NET Class Library can be used by XML Web Services, Windows Application, Web Application, Windows Services as well as Console Application.

Developers while using this component only require importing Base Class Library within their language code and use the predefined methods along with the properties of this component for implementing complex and common functions like graphic rendering, XML document manipulation, database interaction and reading and writing to file. It is inclusive of classes and interfaces that are basically reusable and integrates CLR.

Common Type System (CTS)

It is a set of data types that is often used in various .Net languages. CTS ensure the developers that the objects written in several of these languages have the ability to interact with one another. These types have to be compatible with each other at the very basic level in order to communicate between the programs that are written in any .NET complaint language.

The specification with respect to CTS defines all possible data types along with programming constructs supported by CLR as well as the way they might or might not have any interaction with one another thereby conforming to CLI or the Common Language Infrastructure. Owing to specifically this feature, this structure basically supports exchange of types as well as object instances between the libraries as well as the applications that have been written using any conforming .NET language.

Interoperability

Computer systems in common require having interaction between older as well as newer applications. The framework provides the developers with the means of accessing the functionality that has been implemented in the newer as well as the older programs that are executed outside the related environment.

This platform is inclusive of design features as well as tools that help in management of the installation of computer software. It is generally done so as to ensure zero interference on the part of this software with the previously installed ones as well as to make it sure that it conforms to different security requirements.

Programmers using the framework produce the software by using a combination of their personal source code with this structure along with various other libraries. It has been built for the purpose of being used by most of the new applications that are being created for Windows platform. You can get in touch with a custom ASP.NET development company who can help you develop web apps that are stable, scalable and secure.

Developing android apps in Java. How supportive is the language?

15/01/2015 17:39

Java development services

Java has been ruling the industry more than decades: The only language that doesn’t need any introduction is none other than java. It is the only language which ruled the industry for more than a decade. A time when website was used as a symbol of aristocracy then java was ruling our day to-day life. At that time it was used to develop desktop applications and hardware programming for different devices. Imagine that old video game or VCD player, you will be astonished to know that those devices were having java within their core heart. We can’t ignore java in our life. Each and every device we see around us has java in its core. Moreover java is used to develop embedded system applications for different hardware over time, understanding the future demand, java expanded its broad heart to help the industry in every possible ways starting from desktop applications, web applications, mobile applications and now smart phone apps. All are within the eco-system of java; because, java is not only powerful but also helpful and efficient.

Java can be used to develop android apps: Java was there before the inception of Google. Moreover, Google’s ambitious android operating system is the brain child of C, C++ and Java developers. Since java is in the core of the Android operating system. Hence we can’t imagine developing Android applications without java. Though there are many other technologies which can be used to develop Android apps but java is in the top of the list. Java developers can develop different types of Android apps like web apps, native apps and hybrid apps. Moreover, for smooth and attractive browsing experience we have to rely on java developers in the form of native apps. Most of the industry leading Android native apps are built in java. So we can imagine the respect of java Android developers in the industry.

You just need to compile your java code to apk instead of jar: We all know that java is a platform independent language i.e., we can write a java programme on any machine and after compilation we can use it in any other machine which usually have a java virtual machine i.e., JVM. Hence java is also known as “write once, run anywhere language”. Well, Android operating system doesn’t have java virtual machine but, a sibling of JVM which is called as Dalvik Virtual Machine and it needs an .APK file to run on Android platform. We can convert our java application to .APK format using different emulators. But, instead of compiling the java programme to JAR file using JVM we should directly compile it in emulators to convert it to APK file, which can be used in any Android platform. Well, java developers must understand the importance of AndroidManifest.XML which controls all the features, layout and tasks of the application.

Security feature is the best as always: Since we are dealing with java programming language we don’t need to bother about the security features of our application. Moreover, once the application is developed by the java developers and complied, it gets converted into byte code which is next to impossible to crack. Hence we can expect an enterprise standard security features in our Android application built in java. So, when are you becoming a java Android developer!
