Why would you want to write a Hello World program in a framework? Try writing a very large app in a framework and then try using bare PHP. Compare how much longer and how many more bugs do you get using bare PHP. Compare how many SLOC it took in each. Which is easier to maintain? Caching can be used to recover speed.

Hi I really liked your post, it captures the feeling where you were walking down a path, feeling fine and suddenly you open a door... and find that all the time you've been in an underground tunnel!

But we don't know how how > Django eats resources (or is it eating lot resources like php frameworks). and the answer is that it's the wrong question yes, python is faster than PHP; but not astoundingly so. (i'd love to do web development in Lua/LuaJIT, now _that_ is fast!) it's that it works different from PHP. the biggest difference is that PHP is mostly run only in the request/response cycle. in most cases, it's compiled from source code _on_each_and_every_request_. Even with PHP accelerators/caches that keep the already-parsed code in memory, it still starts with a fresh, empty environment for every web hit. therefore, a PHP framework has to do _all_ the initialization work every time. and that costs. a lot with general purpose programming languages (like python, or ruby; heck, even Java), you don't have a pre-defined god-sent request/response cycle. you program that too. and that means, you can do things _before_ being asked! for example, Django's ORM reads all its structures from your 'model' files, and creates nice classes at runtime. It's runtime, but more precisely start-time. that is, before the first request. when you get a request, you have the data objects ready to do any needed DB querying. another issue is cacheing, there are _lots_ of opportunities for cache, at many different levels. most of them are easy to do simply because the framework's code stays up and running from one request to the other. that means, a well-coded framework can be extensive, sophisticated, even heavy; but still perform very quickly. -- Javier -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.

Re: Added-value over PHP?
I'll only reply to (2): Django is very suitable for web apps. I'm building one and I've never felt limited in any way. Django lets you write your own templates, so adding heavy ajax interfaces is painless. I can't give you pointers because it's a custom in-house thing, but it's close to 30k lines of python + html/js. The main focus is CRM and document management. Hope it helps.

Then, I'm trying to convert my self from PHP to Python too. And I understood those kind of questions. Most PHP users (like me) does not have any programming background, When we try to improve our html jacking skills, some one suggest that php thing. Next week we are become php programmers. After some 10 years and projects and earning food and lots of happy customers, I'm getting bored. I feel something not right. And decide to learn new thins, after some research python shows up for good candidate. Then after spending a weekend WTF !?? How can they wrote web apps when there where no $_REQUEST or equal... After some them you realize PHP was something very very very WEB programming oriented. And realize, moving from PHP to Python cost too much time. You have to learn lots of thing. Not just different syntax, function names, you need to learn thinking different. Then brilliant idea shows up. Why we won't use those Frameworks. After some googling you found that django thing. Then big question is poping up. In PHP world, Framework means SLOW. A decent framework eats up your %50 of cpu resource. For example that Uber Zend FW gives you 1/6 in a hello world app comparing plain php. When you seeing this kind of question. It means How FAST is ? Basically we know python lot faster than PHP. But we don't know how how Django eats resources (or is it eating lot resources like php frameworks).

What are the advantages of using a framework like Django over > writing the same type of database-driven in PHP? You are comparing a development framework (Django) to a programming language (PHP). A better comparison would be Django to a PHP based framework like Zend Framework, Symfony, CakePHP OR the languages Python to PHP and the answer then would depend on a variety of things, starting with your existing experience of either language, what you are trying to do, etc. > 2.

It is a general web application framework, but wether it is suitable "web apps that are more interactive", depends on what you mean by "interactive".

Re: Added-value over PHP?
There is much to say on this topic. I suggest doing some Google searching on "Django versus PHP" and read until you know the answer to your question. My brief summary is that Django lets you do everything you can do in PHP, and much better and faster because it has all the mundane and repetitive stuff abstracted so you don't have to build any of it from scratch. Also, and the main reason I love it, is that you get to write Python instead of PHP. I don't know of any type of Web site that Django is bad for. Django is flexible, and you can use only parts of it, all of it, and customize it -- even edit the source code.

Added-value over PHP?
Hello I'm no expert on web applications, and have a couple of questions about Djanjo: 1. What are the advantages of using a framework like Django over writing the same type of database-driven in PHP? 2. Is Django domain-agnostic, or are there applications for which it's a better idea to use something else? The reason I ask is that the Wikipedia article says: "It was originally developed to manage several news-oriented sites for The World Company[3] of Lawrence, Kansas". I'm concerned that Django might be mostly thought for presenting articles, and might not be very suitable for web apps that are more interactive.
