Ask HN: Web dev zero to hero in least time. Which tools should I use?
I’d like solve the following:
Minimize: Time it takes me to develop web-based UI for my SaaS
With respect to:
- I’m no rockstar dev. I do some Python, SQL, Javascript, HTML, CSS and a few others
- I can learn new stuff if they provide enough value
- The core of my project is already taken care of. It communicates exclusively using Postgres database.
- My UI will have a typical set of UI screens like user sign in, sign on, forgotten password, email verification, you name it.
- Other then that it will have many (~30) quite simple screens doing basic CRUD operations on simple objects stored in database. Each object has a few fields, there are some input validators, some links among objects and so on.
Question is: How do I optimize such program? Decision variables are technologies I should use, languages, frameworks and so on.
The only thing I care about is the speed at which I can spit out those views.
- alexbanks 7y agoIf you do Python, why not use the insanely popular Python web framework Django? It will do all of what you're describing.
- tomas789 7y agoWith a bloom of modern technologies, one would hope there is a faster option. Is there? Django sure provides good enough alternative.
- alexbanks 7y agoDo you honestly believe you'll be able to learn a whole new language and framework faster than using a language you already know and framework that's been heavily optimized for doing exactly what you want? If you want to follow a hype wave just say so. Build it in Elixir.
