Python vs PHP Programming Language Comparison by Robert Capla

Intro

Hello guys, in this post, I will write about comparing PHP vs Python, and why these days new projects aren’t coded in PHP. In PHP I will of course not write about raw PHP and also I will not write about raw Python. For PHP I chose Laravel framework to compare and for Python I chose Django.

So what is Django ?

Django is an open-source framework for web development that is written in python programming language. The Django framework is used to create complex web applications more so because the architecture followed here is Model View template.

And what is Laravel?

Laravel on the other hand functions as an open source framework used for web-applications. Laravel is written in the PHP programming language. Laravel functions on the MVC architecture and is extremely popular as it provides rich functionalities close on the heels of Ruby On rails.

So look at Django in details

The Django framework was developed by Django Software Foundation and was initially released in 2005. Some of the well known websites like Mozilla, Pinterest, Instagram and many more have used Django. Django is a good framework because it is light and also has stand-alone features for development and testing. The main purpose of constructing Django was to ease the development of web applications which gets complex over time.

Now look on Laravel in details

Laravel was developed by Taylor Otwell and was initially released in 2011. It has some of the most upscale features in terms of traffic. It is proficient in developing CMS wherein the development time can be drastically reduced. The developer’s life is easier in terms of superior framework features and other in-built features. So if you are looking at developing web applications the easier way, laravel sure is a safe bet.

Common functionalities in Laravel and Django

Django and Laravel are different. But, do you also want to know what’s common?

Both the frameworks focus on scalability and readability of codes and distribution of files.
Both are good at doing auto queries for databases wherein database queries need not be written directly.
Both of them are easy to handle
Both automatically synchronize table from models in the respective database.
They have their own template system with rich filters and predefined functionalities.
With respect to modern languages both are flexible and portable.

So which one is better?

We have already assimilated information on Laravel and Django and how developers can use it based on the needs of the project. But in reality, it is always better to do a comparative study so that you can make an informed choice of it.

Now let’s dig deeper and find out more based on diverse parameters.

Types

Django: As discussed earlier, Django is an open source framework which has been embraced by developers all across the world. The Django python comes powered with innumerable plugins, libraries, templates and API for good connectivity and organic upgradation. With respect to coding, it follows the D.R.Y principles or the Don’t repeat yourself code.

Laravel: This is also an open source framework with an easy flowing elegant syntax. The main goal of laravel is to ensure the web development process is rapid and easy.

This gives the developers the leeway to make the best code. It also helps in easing out the common tasks like authentication, routing, caching and sessions. It has an impressively expressive migration element, with a closely knit unit testing support.

PHP vs Python compare

Django: Django follows the MVT architecture unlike Laravel. If you check the TIOBE programming community index you will learn that the python programming language on which Django is developed is in the 4th place and the 2nd position in terms of popularity of language.

Laravel: Laravel follows the OOP or the object oriented programming approach and Model-View Controller approach. The TIOBE ranking has put PHP programming language in the 7th position and also the 5th most popular language on GitHUb.

Code

Django: It is now common knowledge that coding in Django is complex to use because it doesn’t have inbuilt structure in its routing process to create API.

Laravel: Laravel’s coding is intuiting which makes it easier for existing and new developers to use vis-a-vis Django.

Rest API create in Django vs Laravel

Django: You might not be interested in understanding all the functionalities that a back-end framework has to offer and would rather settle for a client rich application that supports RESTful API. Unfortunately Django does not have inbuilt features and in order to build the same features you might have to work your way in the library.

Laravel: The most precious thing about laravel development is that it comes with a built in support for API because the JSON queries return by default.

Learning Curve

Django: Coming to think of it, the learning curve for python is almost non-existent. This makes Django simple and easy to employ. The readability of code is good which puts the developers at a comfortable position.

Laravel: Laravel on the other hand is more intuitive and has a steeper learning curve. The framework will let you master contemporary PHP development especially the ones with data migration, offers articulate ORM composer, REST and much more. There are many resources from which you can master Laravel development.

Security Django vs Laravel

Django: Malicious users, bots and hackers are always waiting to exploit your app’s security. So, when you deploy your app in a completely hostile environment, then it is high time you take this as a serious concern. For Django security is a serious affair. It helps developers to refrain from making usual errors that might badger them in web development. Some instances of this are SQL injection, cross-site request forgery and clickjacking. Django also provides security in the case of managing passwords and user accounts. Laravel: Laravel application development comes with superior security settings and confirmations. In the case of Laravel web applications are secured through salted hashed passwords. It also has in-built mechanisms which can protect users in XSS attacks, SQL injections, prime vulnerabilities, private information interception, insecure cookies and so on.

I am a Python developer. I have very high experience in web development. I usually use the framework Flask, but these days I am trying with the Django framework. I also have experience with JavaScript. I prefer the “framework” React because it's very small and with React I could do everything. In my free time I usually play football and workout in the gym. I like Netflix and my favorite series is Inventing Anna.

Important update regarding your Amazon FBA inventory at AFW1

Published

3 weeks ago

March 5, 2023

Kika Angelic

This week, Amazon e-mailed their third party sellers regarding FBA inventory stored in the AFW1 warehouse, which was damaged due to severe weather causing structural damage to that facility, forcing it to close. It is expected to remain closed until at least the end of April 2023.

According to the notice, Amazon will be soon reimbursing sellers for any lost and damaged inventory, adjusting their IPI Score or refunding storage fees.

Here you can read a copy of the full announcement:

Important update regarding your inventory at AFW1

Hello,

Our records indicate that you have inventory at, or on the way to, our AFW1 fulfillment center. On December 13, 2022, severe weather caused structural damage to that facility and we were forced to close. We expect to remain closed until at least the end of April 2023. We understand this has affected your business and will work to provide the most up-to-date information.

Below are other important updates for your inventory stored at AFW1.

1. While AFW1 is closed, we are unable to fulfill customer orders with inventory stored there. Once AFW1 is operational again, we will evaluate the condition of your inventory to determine if it is sellable. We expect the fulfillment center to remain closed until at least the end of April 2023 and will communicate further details on sellable inventory as we know more in the coming weeks. Inventory will be evaluated based on the inventory adjustments policy (https://sellercentral.amazon.com/help/hub/reference/external/G200453260). If you don’t agree with the Amazon valuation of a unit, you can file a claim using the Contact Us page in Seller Central within 90 days after we issue the reimbursement. If we determine your inventory was damaged by this incident, we will reimburse you per our FBA inventory reimbursement policy (https://sellercentral.amazon.com/help/hub/reference/external/G200213130). You will be able to track your refund by accessing your Reimbursements report (https://sellercentral.amazon.com/reportcentral/REIMBURSEMENTS/0).

2. We will refund the storage fees for any inventory affected by this closure. Storage fees from December and January will be reimbursed by March 15. You may see storage fees associated with affected inventory from February-April, which will be refunded on a monthly basis until AFW1 is operational.

3. For shipments already sent to AFW1, Amazon will continue to redirect them to a nearby fulfillment center at our cost.

4. For any inventory that has been redirected or is currently available in other fulfillment centers, those listings will remain sellable and we will fulfill customer orders with the available units. Any new shipments will go to a fulfillment center that can currently fulfill customer orders. If stranded inventory impacted your ability to sell, we will contact you with additional information and details.

5. If your Inventory Performance Index (IPI) score is being affected by this closure, we will ensure your capacity limit is not negatively affected and will allow you extra capacity if necessary, beginning now and for at least 13 weeks after AFW1 is reopened. We’re aware that the stranded inventory can impact your IPI score and this incident was out of your control. We will share further details in the coming weeks to help navigate this situation.

Action requested: If you have created shipments planned for AFW1, but have not sent them yet, please delete these shipments and re-create them. A new shipping destination will be automatically assigned during the creation of the new shipment.

For additional details, go to “FAQ for the AFW1 closure”:
https://sellercentral.amazon.com/help/hub/reference/external/G5HFTYE2FWA3N7G6

We are still actively investigating this incident and will update this page and share more details with impacted sellers as we have more information. We apologize for the inconvenience, and thank you for your understanding and patience.

Impact of negative Product Reviews on your Amazon business

Published

3 weeks ago

March 4, 2023

Kika Angelic

Negative feedback is something that every business will experience at some point, and it can have a significant impact on product sales. When customers leave negative product reviews, it can be discouraging for business owners and employees, and it can also turn potential customers away. In this article, I will explore the impact that negative feedback can have on product sales.

Decreased Trust

Negative product reviews can decrease the trust that customers have in a product or an entire brand. If a customer sees negative feedback about a product, they may begin to question whether the product is worth buying. If they don’t trust a product, they are less likely to make a purchase.

Brand Damage

Negative product reviews can damage a brand’s reputation. When customers leave them, they can be seen by potential customers who are researching the product. If there is a pattern of negative comments, it can make a brand look unreliable, untrustworthy, or low-quality. Brand damage can be difficult to overcome, and it can have a long-lasting impact on sales.

Increased Customer Returns

Negative product reviews can lead to increased customer returns. If customers purchase a product in a hurry and then go through the reviews, they may choose to return the product for a refund or exchange. This can be costly for businesses, as they may need to absorb the cost of the return or exchange, as well as the cost of shipping.

Customer Loss

Negative product reviews can lead to the loss of customers. If a customer has a negative experience with a product, they may choose to take their business elsewhere. Additionally, if a customer sees negative comments about a product, they may be less likely to purchase from the brand again in the future. Losing customers can have a significant impact on sales, as it is more expensive to acquire new customers than to retain existing ones.

How to remove unwarranted product reviews on Amazon?

Here you can review the Amazon Community Guidelines:

https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/help/customer/display.html?nodeId=201929730

If you believe that the review violates them, go into “Contact us” – “Products and inventory” and “Product reviews”.

Here you can submit a removal request which will take a few days to get reviewed.

Conclusion

Negative product reviews can have a significant impact on product sales. They can decrease trust, reduce sales, damage a brand’s reputation, increase returns, and lead to the loss of customers. To minimize the impact of negative comments on sales, businesses should focus on providing high-quality products and excellent customer service. Additionally, businesses should take negative feedback seriously and use it as an opportunity to improve their products and processes.
