Fellow programmers in the house,
Let's discuss the BACKEND side of web development.


Everyone knows the learning path for front-end(HTML,CSS, JavaScript).

If you are a BACKEND developer kindly tell us your learning path ����.

I learned Django, i don't need to learn database because creating and quering the database can be done with Django

EngtTemmy:

Go for Django

It's a better option than flask, i was learning flask before, i did some research online, i got to understand that flask is somehow limited, so i switched to Django

Flask in mainly for small projects

Oh wow. Sorry about that... When I read that it was a lightweight framework, I just assumed it wouldn't be able to handle heavy stuff.

Bro you are right, that's what i also learnt too

Generally, people said it's a lightweight framework, and Django has official documentation and large community than flask

Is Flask easier to learn?

I heard its easier to learn compared to django

Arg0n:

None of it is easy.

So that why i decided to Port from the lightweight one to the heavyweight.

Flask is lightweight because it has few functionalities whereas Django has a lot of functionalities embedded in it.
Django has many functionalities which can only be tweaked in a limited manner, I heard it even has its own database.
Flask has few functionalities but it can get functionalities from other sources (including yours) and you can tweak it to your choice (to a large extent). For example, it doesn't have it's own database and uses an SQL to store data.

With django you don't need to learn SQL at all, you can set up the database with django, you can do advance query with django without needing to write sql, although if you want to use SQL there is also an option for that too.

Django create sqlite database for you with ur project, you can change it to postgresql or MySQL if you wish.

Django is dope

With companies like Netflix, Reddit, Airbnb etc.. using Flask?

Hmmm Interesting!

I think its a matter of preference.

Django comes with alot of features that make ur job easier but its not that flexible.
Flask comes with fewer features but it can be extended because of its flexibility.

I'm not here to discourage you but you will do yourself good if you learn SQL before praising ORM, remember ORM is a wrapper and last last it will still translate to SQL

devbits:


Don't do that, I will advice you test the two very well before you pick one, I have done django very well Infact up to the point of class based view because I like to know everything a framework provide and I did 3 project with it HRSYS,E-LEARNING, but then I hate framework making decisions for me, performing background magic and to top it all any simple mistake in django will not give u a proper stack trace but will always complain of cyclic import. i'm Now using Flask, DJANGO is very good but I found peace with flask

True, but the thing is I'm not a web developer so I'm not looking for a framework to settle down with.
I'm expanding my knowledge in Python so I'm trying frameworks in all the fields python is applied. I'm hoping to find a field I can do well in. Also, I'm doing it for fun.

Then Flask it is!

Actually i know it's good to learn it, i have already enrolled for it, just saying the advantage of Django

I’ve never tried Flask before and am new to Django but it’s somehow difficult to understand how everything works, like someone suggested, I’ll have to download Dennis Ivy’s Django crash course, and am following this this book, “Django 3 by Example”. Any suggestions would be welcome. Thanks
