<strong>Frameworks</strong> are there to ease out a coder’s life<br />
during <strong>Website</strong> <strong>Development</strong>. They provide a<br />
certain structure and set <strong>of</strong> rules to play with.<br />
They let you write codes that are upgradable.<br />
The idea is to let developers use predefined<br />
templates so that they don’t have to reinvent the<br />
wheel.

FRAMEWORKS OF <strong>2018</strong>
1. ANGULAR JS:<br />
Angular, popularly known as Angular JS is an open source javascript<br />
framework, used for front-end development. <strong>Most</strong> <strong>of</strong> the dynamic web<br />
applications are built using this framework.<br />
AngularJS is based on Model-View-Controller architecture. Therefore<br />
it has a fixed structure and is best suited for single page applications.
2. DJANGO:<br />
Released in 2005, Django is a framework that is written in Python.<br />
Many developers like the syntax <strong>of</strong> python as it’s clean and doesn’t<br />
have symbols that clutter a language.<br />
According to the TIOBE programming community, Python is the 4th<br />
most popular language, whereas GitHub ranks the language at 2nd<br />
position.
3. LARAVEL:<br />
Laravel is an open source PHP framework. It has captured the<br />
imagination <strong>of</strong> web artisans over the years.<br />
According to TIOBE Programming Community, PHP is the 7th most<br />
popular language, whereas GitHub ranks the language at 5th position.<br />
This certainly establishes the popularity <strong>of</strong> Laravel.
4. RUBY ON RAILS:<br />
Ruby On Rails, or simply Rails, is a server-side framework that is<br />
written in Ruby (programming language). It’s associated with Rapid<br />
Application <strong>Development</strong> (RAD), as it supports the reusability <strong>of</strong> the<br />
code and accommodates changes rather easily.
5. SYMFONY:<br />
Symphony is a PHP developer that is quite rich in features.<br />
Two things which make it quite popular in the developer<br />
community are Bundles and Components.<br />
Let’s talk about Bundles first. A bundle, as the name<br />
suggests, is a package <strong>of</strong> files (PHP files, stylesheets,<br />
JavaScripts) that is used to implement features like a blog,<br />
a shopping cart etc.
6. YII:<br />
Yii is a Model-View-Controller framework that is best suited for Rapid<br />
Application <strong>Development</strong> (RAD).<br />
The framework makes use <strong>of</strong> code scaffolding (pre-defined code<br />
templates), that quickens the generation <strong>of</strong> the final code.
7. METEOR JS:<br />
Meteor is a full-stack JavaScript framework to build single page<br />
applications. This open-source framework is isomorphic in<br />
nature, meaning JavaScript can run both on the server side as<br />
well as the client side.<br />
It simplifies the process for developers, as they can manage the<br />
front-end, the back-end, and the database by using JavaScript<br />
only. This quickens the website development process.
