The fact that dynamic websites provide an interactive and adaptable website is their calculations, including database queries, template rendering, and business logic, to produce the page that your site's visitor sees. This is much more expensive in terms of processing overhead than the usual accessing a file from the system server setup. For medium to high traffic sites, it is essential to cut as much overhead as possible. This is where caching comes in. Saving the result of a time-consuming calculation so that you don't have to do it again is referred to as caching. The caching mechanism requires very ... Read More

Django is a high-level Python framework for creating scalable and robust web applications. In Python, this is the most widely used framework. It adheres to the MVT (Model-View-Template) design pattern. Other MVC frameworks, such as Ruby on Rails and Laravel, are closely linked to it. The display and model elements of the MVC framework are managed by the Controller, but in Django, the framework handles the tasks of a controller implicitly. Django allows you to develop several applications within a single project. The application has all the necessary features to function independently. The app is regarded as a package that ...

So, ORM maps object attributes to fields of a table. The main advantage of using ORM is that it makes the entire development process fast and error-free. Essentially, it eliminates the need to write SQL code. Suppose there is a python object student with certain attributes as you can see below. Model student: Id Rollno Name ... Read More

Web applications that fail to appropriately escape user-submitted text before rendering it into HTML are vulnerable to cross-site scripting (XSS). An attacker can use this to inject arbitrary HTML into your Web page, commonly in the form of a element. XSS attacks are frequently used by attackers to steal cookie and session information, as well as to fool users into providing personal information to the wrong person. Phishing is another term for this. We will look at a common case because this type of attack can take many different shapes and has nearly unlimited variations. Let us consider simple ... Read More

CSRF stands for Cross Site Request Forgery, and it is said to occurs when a malicious Web site deceives users into unwillingly and unknowingly loading a URL from a site where they've previously been authenticated, thus exploiting their status and also putting the data at risk. To understand what the CSRF attack exactly is, let us look into an example. Assume you're logged into csrfexample.com's webmail account. The Log Out button on this webmail site leads to the URL csrfexample.com/logout. That is, all you have to do to log out is visit the page csrfexample.com/logout. A rogue site can force ... Read More

Validation is the process through which the computer automatically checks to ensure that the data entered is sensible and reasonable. It does not provide if the data entered is accurate or not.

This is validation. Most developers add validation to their projects to ensure that the data they ... Read More
