Is that cost money?

If you appreciate this education, please think about going to Eli the computer guy dot com and offering a one time or monthly recurring donation.

Welcome back, as you know why I'm alive, the computer guy and in today's class morning give you a brief introduction to frame works in the coding world.

So whenever I have new people come to me, they always ask, You know what is the best programming language?

They always want to know what the best language is.

A CZ I've talked about many times in the past the best programming languages, whatever programming language allows you to accomplish whatever solution that you need to accomplish.

One of the questions that rarely comes up is what framework should people be learning?

So people ask about PHP or they ask about python or C sharp or job or anything like that.

They always focus on the language itself, and curiously enough, very few people ask about frameworks.

So when we're talking about frameworks, basically, we're talking about is we're talking about libraries of Rhea usable code, So important thing to understand in the coding world is that if you're trying to accomplish something with code, most likely somebody else has tried to do the exact same thing in the past.

Not only has someone else tried to do the exact same thing in the past, probably 100,000 coders have tried to do the exact same thing in the past.

And so again, one of the things that you have to keep in mind if you're going be a professional coder, you don't wanna have to keep re creating the wheel all the time.

Imagine if every single person that tried to design a brand new car had you also designed a brand new wheel or brand new axle or things like that that just want to make any sense, right?

If you're going to design a new Corvette or a new Ferrari or New four truck, you're going to take components that people have already created and possibly customize them a little bit.

You're gonna take wheels and tires and Axl's on engines and steering wheels and seats and all that kind of thing.

You're gonna put some new colors on them, you're going to a just a couple of things on.

Then You know, basically you're gonna come out with either an F 1 50 or a Ferrari.

But the reality is, if you look at a Ferrari and if you look at an F 1 50 their arm or things similar with those two vehicles than are actually different.

And the reason is is because if somebody is going to be creating a vehicle there essentially going to be taking the exact same concept somebody else has come up with previously and added a couple of things, Yeah, this is very important.

Understand?

In the coding world, you don't wanna have to right everything from from scratch again.

That's one thing where a lot of new people laugh the idea of coders who copy and paste it like I'm never going to copy and paste code.

I was like, Why?

I know if I can copy ah, 100 lines of code pasted into my project and like modify three lines.

That seems a hell of a lot more efficient, and I'm a hell of a lot less likely to create errors, and I literally have to type out those 100 lines of code every time I'm going to build a project The reality is is real professional coders.

Three idea is you do a lot of topping and pasting, but the important thing would be in a professional coder is that you understand?

We're copying pacing, so you copy and paste 100 lines of code and you can read through.

You basically scan through you audit those 100 lines of code to verify it does what you think it's supposed to do.

There's no weird hidden Trojan horses or anything in there on then you, you, anything he deployed out.

There's no reason to rewrite things that have already been written again 100,000 times a 1,000,000 times before.

Well, basically, what frameworks are as frameworks is where all of this this code is prepackaged code has been brought together in a single package so that you can simply a reference that that code win, you're the creative projects.

And when you're deploying your your software into the field instead of having to rewrite everything s o almost all coding languages, any modern coding languages, they're gonna have frameworks.

PHP has a lot of frameworks.

Python is a lot of frameworks of Java has frameworks.

JavaScript as fame works see sharper think as frameworks.

Basically, there's a lot of these these frameworks out there and with the idea, is that somebody sat down.

They they typed out specific functions.

I typed out the specific libraries of code for you so you can add this to your project.

And then all you have to do is reference what is in the library's instead of having to re write the code yourself.

So one of the important things toe understand about frameworks is basically this is pre written code that you're able to reference.

And then the other thing to remember about these frameworks is that they're all prepackaged many times to solve certain types of problems.

So whenever you're going to go and work for a company, they may use one specific framework or another S O.

If you're going to go work for a company again, the codes and PHP there's Laura Belle Isa framework.

There's something cake.

PHP is a framework.

They may be using a specific framework, and so it's important.

Not only do you need to know the programming language PHP, python, whatever else, but you're also going to need to know and understand the frameworks that your company is going to be using because that is going to be as important to you as understanding the programming language itself.

So today we're gonna be talking a little bit about frameworks.

It just gives you an overview.

There are a crap ton of frameworks out there s.

So basically, if you want to learn frameworks for yourself self study or your consultant or something like that, basically, what you're gonna have to do is you're gonna have to do a bit of research and figure out what framework solved the types of problems that you care about.

Just like you need to figure out what programming languages solves the problems that you care about.

Once you figured out that programming language, then you need to go and you need to reduce some research and see what frameworks will then make it faster and easier for you to code within those frameworks.

If you're gonna be going into the enterprise environment where you were going to get hired for companies again, why, it's very important to go out, go to meet ups, go to tech events, grab a beer or a coffee, sit down and talk with people.

And then when you're talking to them, asking them what programming languages their company is is also ask them what?

But what frameworks they use because again, different areas, different companies may use different frameworks.

And just like sometimes companies get walked into particular programming languages just simply because of legacy, Right?

This was built in PHP 10 years ago.

It works.

It does what people needed to do.

So they're not gonna spend $2 million to rewrite it into a new language.

The same could be true of frameworks, right?

You know, 10 years ago, they deployed PHP as as their web infrastructure.

A couple years after that, they realized Oh, look.

Okay, the cake framework cake PHP works really well.

And so they started to use cake and see you come in.

You know, post 2020.

And you gotta You're excited to use a letter of l or some new framework.

Can you find out like what you get?

You guys still used cake?

That was a joke.

There's actual eight, actually.

Framework called that.

Um, but, you know, again, it may be a legacy thing.

They've been using it for so long again.

It does exactly what the company needs done.

And, you know, one of things you have to understand.

The technology world is inertia is a very powerful force.

So a lot of times coding languages, frameworks, infrastructure.

All of these things are still being used, are still being supported.

New products are being built off of this stuff simply because of inertia.

We're building a new product using these technologies because we already have a whole infrastructure built using these technologies, and so we're just going along.

So if you want to go out and figure out what framework you should learn again, there are a lot of them out there.

So if you're on your own, basically do some research, trying to figure out what framework works for you.

If you're going to go out, you're gonna try to work for companies again.

Go to meet ups, talk with people, discuss it, find out what particular frameworks are popular in your area because what you will find geographically again, like with coding languages and other things, simply things get picked up in particular geographic areas.

You know this geographic area?

I think about that again.

When I talk about a few years ago when the startup movement was really big and it's very curious.

On the East Coast, PHP was really popular.

And on the West Coast, Ruby on rails was really popular.

When I actually sat down and tried to talk with coders and figure out why PHP was so popular on the East Coast and Ruby was so popular on the West Coast, nobody could actually give a good answer.

It was kind of well, you know, we're in Denver and we needed to build an infrastructure and we need to deploy something.

And everybody around here knew Ruby.

So we build on Ruby again on the East Coast, you know?

So we needed to build something.

Everybody around here knew PHP and so we built on PHP.

And then once we and all the other companies built on PHP because that's what the local knowledge bases, Then, in order to get a job with a company that you need to know PHP and it's like this weird, self reinforcing cycle.

Eso it is important, understand, Like if you're in Baltimore and you start talking to somebody in San Francisco, the languages they use, the frameworks they use the technologies they use may be entirely different than what the people around you who are hiring actually need.

So it's very important to meet people locally not to just know the programming languages in technology, but also for things like frameworks.

So now you have a basic idea of what coding or programming frameworks are.

I'd like to go over the computer and just to show you some of the different examples out there and again to reinforce the idea that there are so many of these different frameworks out there, so that if you are going to learn a particular type of framework, you do need to do your research to find what will be most valuable to you so that let's go over the computer, you can basically you can do a very basic Google surf to find a different frameworks again, whatever programming language that you've decided to use, python PHP, Java script, Java, Sea shar, whatever, uh, basically what you do, all you do is you type in, you know, Java best frameworks.

You know, you look at the Google results and then you get to do a couple of days of research and playing around and see what seems to work best for you, boy, that let's go to the computer just to give you an idea of the different frameworks that are out there.

So here we are again.

All I did was was a basic Google search.

A Google search for PHP frameworks, python frameworks, JavaScript frameworks, job frameworks.

Just to give you an idea.

Eso here is website Reagan 10 10 The popular PHP frameworks in 2020.

So just for PHP there 10 frameworks gives you a bit of an explanation.

1st 1 is La Ravel talks about reasons to use la Ravel.

Arabella suitable wouldn't appoint applications with complex back end requirements, whether small or large, installing alarm Bell has been made easier with indirection.

Homestead, eh?

So this gives you some idea why you might want to use a layer of L as a particular framework code igniter known for its small footprint code igniters A PhD framework suitable for developing dynamic websites, it offers numerous pre built modules that help with constructed, robust, reusable components to his code.

Igniter Symphony has once again cake PHP This one's been around forever.

Yeah, cake ph be hit the market in early two thousands.

And since INS gained their performance and many new components, cake PHP is easy to install.

It makes a good choice for commercial applications due to security features that include sequel injection prevention, input validation, Christ's cross site request, forgery protection and cross site scripting protection s.

Oh, those are some of the things to be thinking about.

Yay, Zenda, Framework is down here.

Some gold falcon is down here.

Fuel PHP, PHP XY or however you want to say it slim.

So again, basically these air 10 frameworks itjust for PHP.

If you go over there and take a look at 11 python frameworks, s O, the most popular framework now hopes to go there.

Most popular framework, at least from what I've been able to tell in the python word world is Django.

This is the particular framework for Python and you got web to pie Turbo gears cubic Web gado pylon And I got some other stuff, you know, bottle carry pie flask.

So on and so forth if you're gonna go over a Java script has framework.

So if you think Java script is entranced and 10 best frameworks for them, they've got angular.

They've got react.

So, like react, you know, created by Facebook, the react framework is Aaron popularity within a short period, it is used to develop and operate the dynamic user interface of the Web.

Pages with high incoming traffic makes use of virtual Dom, and hence the integration of the same with any application is more straightforward.

So, again, this is This is where you sit there and you start taking a look of again.

What kind of software do you want to create?

So you know that cake PHP that was talking about for back in the security?

You know, protection against sequel injection attacks, protection against cross site scripting, that type of thing.

That's what you care about Kick PHP might be for you again the Java script world creating user interfaces, maybe reactors for for U mber media or mithril know Js.

That's when we'll talk about a lot later.

A polymer, blah, blah, blah.

We over here.

We also got Java framework.

So not just for the scripting language is we come down here and take a look at spring and their struts, hibernates and a whole bunch of different frameworks here for Java.

So this just kind of gives you an idea of how many frameworks there are.

So not only do you have to figure out what programming language is going to be best for a situation, but then once you figured out that programming language going out there and trying to figure out what framework will make it easier, faster on, better in your code.

Basically better is a very important thing to be thinking about.

So now you're probably sitting there.

Go on.

Cool.

Sign me up.

Okay, so I get to learn a programming language and then once I'm learning that programming language, I get to use these frameworks that will make my life a lot easier.

What could possibly be at the downside to this?
