Jupyter Notebook is an interactive computing environment that allows you to create documents containing live Python code, equations, visualisations, and explanatory text in a single file. Notebooks (.ipynb files) are the standard format for data exploration, machine learning experiments, scientific computing, and educational tutorials because they let you execute code in small cells, inspect results […]
Flask is a lightweight Python web microframework that provides only the essentials: URL routing, request/response handling, and Jinja2 templating. Unlike Django, Flask does not include an ORM, authentication, or admin interface by default — these are added through extensions like SQLAlchemy, Flask-Login, and Flask-Admin. This minimalism makes Flask the ideal choice for REST APIs, microservices, […]
Django is a high-level Python web framework that follows the “batteries included” philosophy — it provides an ORM, authentication, admin interface, form validation, URL routing, templating, and security middleware out of the box. This makes Django the framework of choice for data-driven applications and content management systems where rapid development and maintainability matter. Django’s ORM […]
Python virtual environments solve a fundamental dependency management problem: different projects require different versions of the same library, and installing everything system-wide leads to version conflicts. A virtual environment is a self-contained directory containing a Python interpreter copy and a site-packages directory isolated from the system Python. Each project gets its own virtual environment with […]
Python 3 is the most widely used language for web development, data science, machine learning, automation, and DevOps tooling. RHEL 9 ships with Python 3.9 by default, but newer versions (3.11, 3.12) are available from the AppStream repository and provide significant performance improvements — CPython 3.11 is 10–60% faster than 3.10 for most workloads. The […]
Xdebug is the standard PHP debugging and profiling extension. It transforms PHP development from var_dump()-driven debugging into a full interactive debugging experience with step-through execution, breakpoints, variable inspection, call stack navigation, and code coverage analysis for unit tests. Xdebug 3 introduced a simplified configuration model that replaces the complex Xdebug 2 settings with a single […]
PHP hardening reduces the attack surface of web applications by restricting what PHP scripts can do at the interpreter level. A default PHP installation exposes powerful functions that can be abused by attackers who exploit code injection vulnerabilities: system(), exec(), and passthru() allow execution of arbitrary OS commands; file_get_contents() with allow_url_fopen can fetch remote files; […]
PHP-FPM (FastCGI Process Manager) is the recommended way to run PHP behind a web server. Unlike the older Apache mod_php, which embeds a PHP interpreter in each Apache worker process, PHP-FPM runs as a separate service that manages a pool of PHP worker processes. Nginx communicates with PHP-FPM via a Unix socket or TCP socket […]
Symfony is a mature, enterprise-grade PHP framework built on reusable, decoupled components. Unlike Laravel’s all-in-one approach, Symfony emphasises architectural flexibility — many of its components (HttpFoundation, Console, Validator, Security, DependencyInjection) are used independently by other frameworks including Laravel itself. Symfony’s Dependency Injection Container, event dispatcher, and strict coding standards make it the preferred framework for […]
Laravel is the most popular PHP web application framework, providing an expressive, MVC-based structure with built-in features including Eloquent ORM, Blade templating, database migrations, queues, events, broadcasting, and the Artisan CLI. Laravel follows convention-over-configuration to reduce boilerplate and accelerates development with scaffolding tools like Breeze (authentication starter kit) and Jetstream. This guide covers creating a […]
