What is Python?
Python is a high-level, interpreted, general-purpose programming language known for its simple, readable syntax. Its design philosophy emphasizes code readability, and its large standard library makes it incredibly versatile. For web development, we specialize in two powerful frameworks: Django and FastAPI.
How It Works in a Real-World Project
- Django: Imagine building a complex e-commerce platform. Django’s “batteries-included” approach provides pre-built components for user authentication, an admin panel for managing products and orders, and an Object-Relational Mapper (ORM) for interacting with the database safely. This allows us to build a robust, secure, and feature-complete platform much faster.
- FastAPI: For a high-performance microservice that needs to serve data to a mobile app, FastAPI is ideal. It’s built for speed and automatically generates interactive API documentation. This means our frontend and mobile developers can easily understand and test the API endpoints as they are being built.
Why We Use Python
We choose Python for its readability, rapid development capabilities, and powerful libraries.
- Django is our choice for large, monolithic applications where security and speed of development are paramount.
- FastAPI is our go-to for building extremely fast, modern APIs and microservices that require high performance and automatic validation.
