Front-end development has come a long way—from simple static web pages to complex, highly interactive applications that power everything from social media platforms to enterprise software. Understanding this evolution is crucial for developers transitioning from front-end roles to architectural positions, as it provides insights into why certain technologies and patterns exist today. The Past: Early Days of Web Development 1. Static Web Pages (1990s - Early 2000s) Websites were mostly static HTML with inline CSS. JavaScript was introduced in 1995, but it was primarily used for simple client-side validation. Page reloads were required for every interaction, leading to slow user experiences. 2. The Rise of CSS & JavaScript (Early 2000s - 2010) CSS2 and CSS3 introduced better styling capabilities. AJAX (Asynchronous JavaScript and XML) emerged, allowing dynamic content updates without full page reloads. jQuery became the go-to library, simplifying DOM manipulation and event handling. ...

  When it comes to building web applications with Python, Flask has long been a popular choice due to its simplicity and flexibility. However, in recent years, FastAPI has emerged as a strong alternative, particularly for building modern, high-performance web applications. In this blog post, we will compare FastAPI vs. Flask across various parameters to understand why FastAPI is the better choice for modern web apps . 1. Performance and Speed One of the most significant advantages of FastAPI over Flask is its speed. FastAPI is built on Starlette and Pydantic, utilizing asynchronous programming (async/await) to handle multiple requests efficiently. Benchmarks suggest that FastAPI is nearly as fast as Node.js and Go, making it an excellent choice for high-performance applications. Flask, on the other hand, is synchronous by default and does not natively support asynchronous programming. While you can integrate async features into Flask with additional extensions, it does not mat...
