Django Is Sweet by Ayemileto(op): 11:36pm On May 14, 2020
So, I finally got to start learning Django few days ago, and I can tell you I'm enjoying what I'm seeing grin

I have a background in PHP, and mainly use Codeigniter framework for development. I also used Laravel a bit too but couldn't understand all the concept.

What I realised now is that there's a lot of Similarities between Laravel and Django, and with Django, I have been able to understand some of the Laravel concepts I didn't understand before.


With the ease of using Django that I'm seeing, I'm currently planning to move some of my projects from Codeigniter to Django and I already bought a notebook where I intend to properly draft my plans.

Django is quite interesting and amazing, and based on my little experience so far, I think development will be quite faster as well. grin

I initially watched a video around 1hr long where the Author made a Todo list app, but the video is Old and there have been some updates in Django, However, I was able to follow through by reading some necessary parts of the documentation.

I'm currently using the tutorial on the official website, and I'm enjoying every bit of it.

Weldone on your desire to keep developing yourself.

After Django, try exploring NodeJS and Express for backend and for frontend ReactJS. Since you’re from a PHP background, you will like NextJS (React knowlege required)

Thank you very much for the suggestions.

I will try exploring them.

I use 3 but can use 4 as well.

Version 4 requires PHP 7.2.x to function optimally.

So projects based on version 4 can only run on limited servers presently.

That means I will probably learn flask toom

Meanwhile, which host do you use for your production server?

I'm thinking of purchasing a VPS. Is it really necessary or there are shared hosting platforms?

I want to work on a project. I'm considering both PHP and Django.

Hosting is one of the important aspect.
