PythonOne of the latest focuses in the market, being deployed to a

great extent among the community of American developers, is

the Python programming language, which allows projects to be

carried out swiftly and in a versatile way.

BeeWareBeeWare is more than just a tool; in fact it is a

toolbox to help develop and debug software in

Python. The big difference between BeeWare and

an IDE (integrated development environment) is

that each tool in that box can be used

independently from each other. Each can be used

to carry out small tasks and all can be

simultaneously used separately to implement large

projects in Python.

01. PYTHON / BEEWARE

The tools in that box of services are:

CRICKETThis is a graphical tool for

running unit tests. The tool does

not offer many details of the

execution while the suite is

underway and it is not possible

to start looking for faults until

execution is complete. This

results in Cricket not being a

great tool for identifying patterns

of faults in these unit tests or for

rerunning failed tests. Cricket

supports Django, a framework of

open source code that is written

in Python and used to develop

web applications faster.

BUGJARThis is a tool for debugging

code errors. The old debuggers

were good for their integrated

development environments and

being able to debug errors

visually during execution. The

Python debugging model

contains appealing debugging

methods. It also has a graphical

interface that lets you navigate

the code to correct errors.

DUVET This is a graphical interface that

helps developers visualize the

results of coverage of tests

returned by coverage.py, a tool

that works to measure coverage

of program code in Python.

Such actions serve to measure

the effectiveness of tests,

separately showing which parts

of the code are worked by

testing and which are not.

01. PYTHON / BEEWARE

BeeWare also has a number of libraries for projects in Python:

TOGAA package of native tools for

each system, made in Python

that can be used for desktops

and mobiles.

iOS TEMPLATEA template that allows us to

develop applications in Python

but implement them in iOS.

ANDROID TEMPLATE A template to implement

Python code in Android.

RUBICONThis is a collection of tools to

establish relationships between

the Python programming

environment and others.

CASSOWARYPure implementation in Python of the

algorithm of solutions of limitations of

Cassowary (algorithm that has been

used within Mac OS and iOS since 2011.

01. PYTHON / BEEWARE

Python developers have this integrated development environment (IDE) with a built-in

graphical user interface (GUI) for wxPython. This tool includes an object inspector,

inheritance hierarchies, a particularly good debugger and integrated help. Obviously, it is

written in Python.

BOA Constructor

01. PYTHON / BOA CONSTRUCTOR

The user interface consists of a set of separate tools used to create and debug applications

developed with Python:

PALETA This tool allows developers to access objects

such as buttons, text boxes, frames and create

packages and modules for our applications.

This is the first step to generating a new

development for Python.

INSPECTOR Objects can be accessed through

this tool

EDITOR this is the part of BOA Constructor where

developers can access the source code of the

application they are creating. You can correct

errors and run the application to identify them in

the editor.

There is an interesting tutorial on the web which

can serve as a guideline for beginners.

EXPLORER This allows you to browse and

review data items.

01. PYTHON / BOA CONSTRUCTOR

An integrated development environment is a software application that allows software

developers to design in a simple way. This has all the necessary tools integrated into a single

environment: an editor for source code, automated build tools and a debugger. There are

several on the market.

Integrated development environments for Python:

02. HTML5 / FRAMEWORKS FOR HTML5

Frameworks for HTML5

BOOTSTRAPIs the Twitter framework for responsive and adaptive website design and development in HTML, CSS and

JavaScript. Bootstrap is a widely-used framework among today's front-end developers.

• This framework is backed by Twitter, so it is

unlikely to become obsolete.

• Although it only has limited support for HTML5

and CSS3, are compatible with current browsers.

• It is open source and shared on GitHub. This

makes it special as it is used and continuously

improved by many developers.

• It makes working with JavaScript much easier:

the developer doesn't need to get programming:

many components are available allowing

implementation of special resources with no

need for coding. And that is a major advantage!

• All of these components are based on jQuery.

Enables us to add new functionality to the user

interface: from a carousel effect in the site

header to the creation of groups of buttons and

alerts. And its enormous popularity means that

more and more third-party plugins are becoming

available to automate much of this functionality.

• Bootstrap uses the LESS dynamic stylesheet.

• It also offers comprehensive documentation: if

you have a project or a doubt, or need to solve a

difficult situation, documentation and tutorials are

available to help.

02. HTML5 / FRAMEWORKS FOR HTML5

HTML5 BOILERPLATE:This is the other major HTML5 framework. Its key features include:

• Support for old browsers. HTML5 Boilerplate

offers a feature detection library known as

Modernizr. This can determine whether the

user's browser supports HTML5 and CSS3. If it

doesn't, an additional function is loaded enabling

old browsers to load all site elements.

• Improved load times. With the increasing

consumption of information on mobile devices,

website load times are becoming an essential

competitive tool. In HTML5 Boilerplate, all

scripts elements are at the end of the page,

meaning that display of the site's key elements is

not delayed by slow loading. This affects almost

all elements, including the usual Google

Analytics tracking code.

• Server-side optimization: HTML5 Boilerplate's

.htaccess folder enables a more efficient cache

and allows us to send our websites compressed

as GZIP, together with images and JavaScript

elements, optimizing site performance and

reducing load times.

02. HTML5 / FRAMEWORKS FOR HTML5

JUNIOR

Is a framework for creating native mobile

applications in HTML5. This framework uses CSS3

transitions to optimize site performance on mobile

04. JAVASCRIPT / LIBRARIES

PHPThe programming language PHP is one of the most popular

options with developers for creating dynamic web projects

and applications. Scripts are executed on the server, it's

secure, and it has a short learning curve.

PHP is one of the most widely used programming languages for developing web projects,

mainly because of its enormous penetration in both web servers and operating systems. It's

a robust solution and completely free of charge. Some of the greatest players on the

Internet, like Wikipedia and Yahoo, use PHP for their sites, as do leading content editors like

Wordpress and Drupal. And PHP is also used, for example, by the well-known Apache

servers.

There are several reasons why PHP is so popular:

05. PHP

• It's a language for developing dynamic web

applications from the data stored in a database.

• The learning curve is very short because PHP

developers have simplified its structure.

• PHP scripts are executed on the server, so no

one can access them from a browser. That

means greater security.

• It works seamlessly with open-source relational

databases like MySQL, another solution widely

used by developers.

• It supports object oriented programming.

Its enormous popularity has led to a vast array of useful tools for PHP developers, ranging

from frameworks to libraries.

The use of a good framework can help developers save time and achieve better results:

quality scripts, scalable projects, fast and robust web applications... Using a framework

means that developers can store scripts in folders, access libraries and functions that will

enrich the final project, and increase security.

PHP professionals can choose from a long list of development frameworks.

Frameworks

05. PHP / FRAMEWORKS

05. PHP / FRAMEWORKS

LARAVEL

A large community with extensive documentation

is usually one of the things that developers look for

when choosing a tool because it means they have

several options if they make a mistake or reach a

dead end. That's why Laravel is such a popular

framework with PHP developers.

Released in 2011 as an open source framework

for developing PHP web projects, it was created by

Taylor Otwell. The latest version is 5.1. Like most

frameworks, Laravel has the usual basics: routes,

models, templates, views and controllers. It also

has its own template engine, called Blade.

These are the main features:

• It supports RESTful.

• It requires the installation of Composer, the tool

for administering dependencies in PHP. This is

useful because once the libraries for the project

being developed have been declared, no further

action is required from the developer.

• It follows the MVC (Model-View-Controller)

pattern, which has two important advantages:

greater security, and complete separation of the

application logic from the user interface.

• It supports caching.

05. PHP / FRAMEWORKS

CODEIGNITER

Like Laravel, CodeIgniter has a great community

behind it feeding it with ample documentation.

It's a simple but high performance development

framework with some interesting features:

• It works with most environments and servers.

• It follows the MVC pattern.

• Separation between the framework core and

the project script.

• Flexible development framework: developers

can follow its coding rules or use their own.

This means that there is no need to learn the

framework structure because it can be

changed. It supports the use of external

templates.

05. PHP / FRAMEWORKS

SYMFONY

Symfony is a framework for developing web

applications using the Model-View-Controller pattern.

It was created by the company SensioLabs in 2005

and is distributed under the MIT open source license.

Completely developed in PHP, it can run on UNIX and

Windows platforms and is compatible with most of

the common database management systems:

MySQL, Microsoft SQL Server, etc.

Its main features are as follows:

• The database management system can be

changed at any time during

development, which is a major advantage.

• It uses object oriented programming.

• It follows Model-View-Controller patterns.

• It's a development framework that greatly

facilitates interoperability.

• It has its own user-friendly template

engine (Twig).

• It has a cache system based on HTTP

which enhances the performance of

applications developed with Symfony.

PHP libraries

05. PHP / LIBRARIES

PHP-CPPA C++ library for developing

native extensions. It can be

used by PHP developers and

also by developers who

program in C++, a language

with a syntax very similar. There

is ample documentation

for its projects and the source

code is full of explanations.

Developers who know how to

program in PHP will find the

PHP-CPP library very easy to

use with variables, functions,

objects and exceptions. And

they can also use all the added

advantages provided by C++,

such as arguments and

asynchronous programming.

HOAA modular, scalable and

structured PHP library. There

is a training manual

(containing several chapters

with technical information) to

get you started as well as

documentation to use it.

Hoa provides users with the

ability to create their own

libraries, which means that

the script can be reutilized

and shared. The idea is that

any programmer can take a

library developed by another

user and adapt it to the needs

of his or her own application

with its features and tools.

MINKMink is a very popular library

with PHP developers because it

lets them test how their web

applications interact with the

browser to check that they

work properly. Mink supports

the following frameworks:

PHPUnit, Behat and Symfony2.

05. PHP / LIBRARIES

Pattern Lab is a framework for developing

the front end of web projects and

applications. It allows developers and

designers to make decisions about

templates and shows different alternatives

during the development process. Designs

can also be tested in browsers.

The tool facilitates front end design testing

in small elements like buttons and labels for

forms or complete templates with all their

design components (logo, navigation, etc.).

Guzzle is a special framework comprising all

the necessary tools for creating a client for

REST services like Twitter or GitHub, a

service for defining API inputs and outputs,

high performance batch processing for

sending large numbers of requests, etc.

It also eliminates redundancy in the creation

of web service clients, and has caching

mechanisms for the parallel execution of

responses and queries.
