Develop Web Based Application Faster Using PHP

I’ve been developing apps using many different frameworks, across different languages, so I can tell you which one is best for building web based applications the quickest, simplest and easiest.

For me PHP is the easiest way to build web based applications, you don’t need to compile the codes, you don’t have to use classes with long namespaces, etc. 

And PHP is widely known, it’s actually very popular, so if you have some troubles while writing your codes, you can just do some quick search and find the answers right away. 

Web based app using Wordpress

If you just want to build a Web blog, company profile, no need complex business process, just using Wordpress is enough.

Wordpress is not just a blogging platform, it can be much more complex than that. The way you do customization is by developing a custom plugin.

Many developers in the Wordpress community already build themes, templates and set of complex features, for example for Ecommerce purpose, Inventory management, Payment gateway and many others.

So basically wordpress is not tight for blogs, you can do anything you want using wordpress.

I’ve always wanted to learn to customize my Wordpress website, but I didn't get enough free time and a strong reason to learn it. I’ve already learned some basic wordpress API but never got deeper into how to develop templates, how to develop plugins, etc.

Write your own codes using Codeigniter 3 framework

Do you hate Wordpress or any other CMSs because the learning curve is too much, or you feel you don’t have enough flexibility, so you want to write your codes instead? The solution is by using PHP Framework. 

The framework I use is this framework called Codeigniter. If you have never heard of Codeigniter before, you can read about this framework documentation here https://codeigniter.com/.

For me, Codeigniter 3 is my number one choice for building a small scale web based application, it is for me proven to be an effective and fast way to get applications running. It’s very simple and the learning curve is not very much complicated, yet you can develop whatever your app you want to be.

I learn Framework like Laravel and Symfony but it doesn’t attract me to go further because I don't find any special thing about those frameworks.

Develop apps in Codeigniter, you don’t need to learn much stuff about the framework. You can just learn only the basic framework feature called MVC (Model, Controller and View). With just that, combined with front end Framework like Bootstrap and Jquery you already can build very sophisticated apps.

Codeigniter actually has evolved and now there's the newest version, Codeigniter 4. But i don’t like this version, it’s just adding complexity into the framework. I will stick with PHP and CodeIgniter 3, I just hate the idea of PHP being over complicated. And also I don't want my small scale app to be written in PHP. 

PHP is good because it’s simple, you don’t have to care about Types, Classes, Entities, those things are for Codes to big business where you don’t want small mistakes so must be very structured. 

For hobbyists like us, or just starting a business, I would recommend using PHP. In my case I've been writing codes using Codeigniter for so many clients and it just works well. They can launch their business sooner.

I am an experiences web developer, have a good problem-solving and deep understanding of software development principles. With comprehensive skill set in Java, PHP, Python, C and JavaScript. Able to do database thing like MySQL and Oracle. Along with expertise in frameworks like Spring, React, and Firebase. Have a solid understanding of software development methodologies, like Agile and Scrum. I applies best practices to ensure the development process is efficient and of the highest quality output.

Spring Kafka - how to use ReplyingKafkaTemplate send and reply synchronously

By -

Microservice Spring with Apache Kafka Kafka is an asynchronous messaging queuing system, but when you have a case in your project that you need to have the result immediately from another service you can do that quite easily. Kafka from the client side produces a message to the server side, then waiting for the server to return back the message exactly what the client wants. It’s identified in the kafka header request named KafkaHeaders.CORRELATION_ID and a topic where the server should send. If the server side produces the same correlation id to the same topic in the request, then the client side will catch that message as its reply. Although you can work with kafka from a different framework and language other than Java and Spring. Here’s in this example i just specifically giving the example of sending and replying kafka messages using Spring Boot. The Project Overview The client-project will send a string message to the server-project over kafka, then the server-project wil

MySQL and MariaDB password As already mentioned in the title of this blog, this error message sometimes occurred when we are trying to update our root password database, either MySQL or MariaDB, The error says: ERROR 1348 (HY000): Column 'Password' is not updatable This is because if we use this SQL command to update our database root password, and it turn out to be Restricted by MySQL to use update on mysql database. UPDATE mysql.user SET Password=PASSWORD('1234') WHERE User='root'; The solutions for MySQL Error1348 So you can not update a user password using Update commands, to update the password, use ALTER commands instead. like the following. ALTER USER 'root'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY '1234'; And then you need to do the flush privileges to commit previous queries (that alter command above) into the system, simply do like this. flush privileges; So now you have your root with password 1234. Although it is recommended to

Usually you will need a pair of SSH username and password to connect to a remote server. But there's also another way to connect to the server via SSH but without password, just using a dot pem (example.pem) file. Here's how we usually do on Windows 1. Let’s SSH login using pem to confirm if it’s throwing error or the pem is fine, if error then we need to move to step 2 to fix it: ssh adam@10.0.0.123  -i server-cert.pem And here's the usual error that will throw if your pem file is not ready for SSH login. You need to follow the next step to make your pem certificate ready to login to your server via SSH. 2. Open Windows Explorer, then right-click on the pem file, then select "Properties". Navigate to the "Security" tab, and click "Advanced" 3. Disable inheritance 4. Delete all permissions, so it doesn’t have any permission 5. Now add you as the only only owner.

Reactive Spring Logo This is maybe a very simple task, but for those of you that may not be familiar with WebFlux found it difficult to create a Rest API that handles upload and download in Reactive spring application. Create the skeleton Spring project Create a new project, go to start.spring.io , on the dependencies section, add Spring Reactive Web. Generate and extract it into your desired project location. Instead of using spring-boot-starter-web, use spring-boot-starter-webflux instead in your pom.xml. Here’s the pom.xml for our Reactive Rest API project. Create our Rest controller Now that you have set to use WebFlux instead of the usual web, we have to change a little bit in the Controller class that handles the API endpoints. It doesn’t change much but you have to wrap the Response in Mono and the request parameter to FilePart. So our upload and download file controller will look like this. Create utility to handle file upload We need to structure our project better, so we cr
