Web Project - Advice Needed


Question

Hey Guys / Gals,

 

We have a tool at work that's a giant piece of poop. It's slow, sluggish, contains obsolete code, and the database is bloated with information that's no longer relevant. I'm looking at re-coding this, however I've been informed I need to use a Framework, and to use some Frontend UX Languages.

 

Framework: I've been told to use Symfony2 or Doctrine. Can anyone suggest reasons to not use these?

UX Framework: I was looking at using ReactJS or AngularJS. Again, can anyone suggest something better or reasons to not use it.

 

 

Now, I have a question in regards to databases. I need my database to live in the memory, and to write changes when idle. I'm familiar with MySQL, just not the specific databases. Can anyone point me in the direction of finding out which databases would suit this project?

 

I'm looking to have this finished before December. I can handle the HTML5/CSS, and portions of PHP. It will be a learning adventure, and that's what I'm in need of. I've grown rather bored of my C++ Adventure, it's become rather cumbersome and uneventful. I'm hoping web programming can spice my life up a little more.

I'd run with Ionic Framework (it uses Angular (not to be confused with AngularJS).  You write pretty much everything in Typescript, HTML, SCSS.  We use it for 90% of the dev I do at work. It's nice in that it also leverages cordova if you want to make cross platform apps. It does just fine as a standalone website though.

 

https://ionicframework.com/

 

Again, it sells itself for the mobile side but it's definitely more than that.

So, what did you select and how is your adventure going?

I did some work in React and Angular before and I would not recommend. Just because they are mammoth frameworks and hard to get really good at. Angular moreso than React but still. I especially dislike React's coupling code logic between code logic and presentation and mixing in templates and JSX.I like to keep it as close to decoupled logic as possible.

 

I've been using a LOT of frameworks and libraries over the course of years PHP, Java, JS etc but these days I simply dumped everything else and am almost exclusively using, wait for it,

 

- Laravel PHP framework (built on Symfony) (back-end)

- VueJS (front-end)

 

This is such a beautiful combination I can't even explain to you. Laravel is SO good, especially if you need to write APIs and Vue is SO fast and elegant and easy that you will question everything you have seen previously. How can development be this beautiful. Laravel is as awesome and beautifully designed as Ruby on Rails. Once you understand it's Eloquent model you will NEVER go back to anything else or writing your own SQL queries. I mean it's THAT nice.

 

There is a reason why VueJS and Laravel have such an unbelievable growth and community support.

 

I would wholeheartedly recommend both of these. VueJS has beautiful UI stuff, awesome two-way binding and is componentized as well. It takes the best from both React and Angular and is lightning fast and small.

Boz can you tellme why is better laravel vs other frameworks? i already search benchmarking perfomance and is slow in comparison with others, also i make a website (simple but with 100 or 200 visits per day) and in a shared hosting sometimes get slow.

But i see a lot of programmers recommending laravel like a good framework, can you give us some tip or some example for understand why is better laravel?

Thanks !

    • Apple still has two unannounced features for iOS 26 by Hamid Ganji Apple held its WWDC25 event this month to unveil a slew of AI features and its new design for operating systems, known as Liquid Glass. While iOS 26 currently has no shortage of features, the iPhone maker might still have some features under wraps that didn’t make a debut at this month’s WWDC. Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman writes in his weekly Power On newsletter that Apple didn’t announce two iOS 26 features at the WWDC event. The first feature is a live translation of conversations via AirPods, and the latter is the ability to sync your wireless network login information across devices at a hotel or gym. Even though these features were already tipped to arrive in iOS 26, Apple held them from the event, presumably because they’re still not ready to ship. Apple appears to have learned from its experience with Apple Intelligence and aims to break the habit of unveiling new features before they are ready for release. The Live Translation on iOS 26 is currently integrated with popular apps like Messages, FaceTime, and Phone to help users break language barriers and communicate in different languages. The feature is now under development for AirPods, allowing users to hear real-time speech translations. Moreover, the WiFi syncing feature allows you to sync your sign-in information across your entire Apple ecosystem, enabling you to connect to a public WiFi network with ease. This would eliminate the need to sign into a WiFi network separately on each device. While these features haven’t arrived in iOS 26 yet, they’re more likely to be released later this year, in October or December.
    • Intel Level L4 cache has been around for a long time, so AMD Zen 3D Cache is a copy of Intel L4 cache that was introduced with Broadwell i7-5775c, which had 128mb of Level L4 cache. Secondly, Zen 6 is not faster in single-threaded performance than 13900k/14900k. 285k is something new Intel is trying, basically showing us that chiplet design does not work for gaming, just like AMD design does not work for gaming. Throwing more cores at it and having L4 cache won't fix the issue, and that is frame dip and stuttering caused by a very stupid design decision to keep the memory controller outside the compute tile. Might as well put a memory controller by bringing back a south bridge chip. lol
    • Just like AMD Zen, it is not going to work for gaming despite 3D Cache. Frame dip and stuttering are giving, which renders 14900KS the greatest gaming CPU ever released.
