Back-end frameworks provide ready-made solutions for these tasks.They offer standardized solutions to common web development challenges, reducing the need to reinvent the wheel for every new project.By abstracting away lower-level details, back-end frameworks:Enable developers to create robust and secure applications more efficiently.Allow developers to focus more on the business logic and features of the application rather than worrying about infrastructure and boilerplate code.Help ensure best practices in coding, security, and performance, which benefits both developers and end-users.Back-end frameworks enhance security by incorporating built-in protection against common web vulnerabilities, reducing the risk of security breaches in applications.By using a back-end framework, development teams can save time and effort, leading to faster development cycles and increased productivity.

“A practical handbook that will provide tremendous help while designing the codebase of your mobile app” —Jovche Mitrejchevski, Software Craftsman "A great book if you're starting to understand architectures. It starts from the very scratch and keeps evolving till you get the main concepts of clean architecture I was impressed at how many similar opinions we have about this." --Antonio Leiva, Android Google Developer Expert"This book really surprised me. I found the architectural design advice useful for any software developer. Petros's writing style is very easy to read, and I was able to get through the whole book in a couple of days. If you are a mobile developer, you will get even more from this book. If you are not, you still should read it." -- Sandro Mancuso Software Craftsman / Managing Director at Codurance“Provides a carefully balanced view on designing, and growing, an app's architecture in line with the size and requirements of the codebase. A very helpful tool to make more practical sense of how an app's architecture can (and should) evolve over time.” —Donny Wals, iOS consultant & author—————————————————————————————————————————The long-awaited book tailored to the architectural needs of Mobile Applications. Clean Architecture is by now a standard in Mobile development. It is listed in every job ad and is assessed in every technical interview. Particularly for senior, architect, and lead positions.Most software books are written with Backend systems in mind. While the software basics are common, the details differ. And details are crucial. Translating their wisdom into Mobile codebases requires effort and often includes several unsuccessful attempts. This is the one book you need to properly architect Mobile apps. It is platform-agnostic and includes coding samples of both Android & iOS. Read it, and you’ll learn how to:Architect your mobile application by Clean Architecture.Apply the S.O.L.I.D principles.Leverage Reactive Programming & MVI.Draw proper architectural boundaries.Define adequate testing strategies.Leverage Evolutionary design and increase agility.Identify when Clean Architecture is needed and when simpler approaches work better.“Best practices” don’t exist. Some practices solve specific problems while introducing problems that didn’t exist before. What works for a startup doesn’t work for an enterprise app, and vice versa. This book goes the extra mile to clarify when each practice is helpful. And most importantly, when to avoid it.The book doesn’t only stick to theory. It includes several repos with sample apps that put everything into practice. Theory backed up by practice is called experience. That’s what makes an architect. Read more

Any application or web service are required a Program code to do some action and that code is called Source code. Source code is collection of code syntax, written in human readable Programming language, usually in a plain text without any formats. This code will be written by a programmer according to their application needs. The source code is often transformed by an assembler (Or) Compiler into Binary machine code, that can be executed by the computer.Most application software is distributed in a form of executable files. So purchaser cannot do any correction or improvement in that application. If the source code were included in that purchase scope, then that company programmer or system administrator can modify or improve the program.Applications can be written in different language based on application need and the programmer knowledge and experience. The Program language may be more than 100 and some of them HTML, CSS, JavaScript, Java, python, C ++, VB, PHP……and so on. This book help, to people those who are building up a dynamic web site by HTML, CSS, JavaScript and PHP language. Building a web site is varying from people to people; it may be Blog site, Educational site, Entertainment site, Information site, Office management, Online Market, Survey and so on.However, for any concept, first we have to learn code building tool for writing the code. In this Book we are going to learn Visual Studio Code editor to build a dynamic web page. Visual studio code supports many program languages by adding different add-on software as an extension. The basic configuration and operation style of VS code is same for all program language. The main difference between different language is each language has a specific keyword and syntax. So whenever we install a specific language extension, VS code automatically support that syntax while code writing. So reading this book is useful to all those who are planning to build an application through VS Code. In this book I am going to cover only the required VS Code operation to Build HTML file with PHP language. For that we use a simple sample project through out all the chapters. It is best practice, use your computer along with this book and test the commands explained in this book then and there. This practice is helpful to mesmerize easily about the concept and facility of the editor. Read more

“An engrossing microcosm of the internet’s Wild West years” (Kirkus Reviews), award-winning journalist David Kushner tells the incredible battle between the founder of Match.com and the con man who swindled him out of the website Sex.com, resulting in an all-out war for control for what still powers the internet today: love and sex.In 1994, visionary entrepreneur Gary Kremen used a $2,500 loan to create the first online dating service, Match.com. Only five percent of Americans were using the internet at the time, and even fewer were looking online for love. He quickly bought the Sex.com domain too, betting the combination of love and sex would help propel the internet into the mainstream. Imagine Kremen’s surprise when he learned that someone named Stephen Michael Cohen had stolen the rights to Sex.com and was already making millions that Kremen would never see. Thus follows the wild true story of Kremen’s and Cohen’s decade-long battle for control. In The Players Ball, author and journalist David Kushner provides a front seat to these must-read Wild West years online, when innovators and outlaws battled for power and money. This cat-and-mouse game between a genius and a con man changed the way people connect forever, and is key to understanding the rise and future of the online world. “Kushner delivers a fast-paced, raunchy tale of sex, drugs, and dial-up.” —Publishers Weekly Read more
