When it comes to creating new websites and online apps, the development framework you use is critical. There are several alternatives to pick from. If you're not sure where to begin, a popular framework is a good place to start because they're often tried-and-true solutions.The most popular web frameworks for development are well-liked by both developers and users. This is frequently attributable to the numerous advantages that these frameworks provide. Furthermore, if you choose a well-known framework for your project, you will have easy access to helpful assistance anytime you want it.
This post will go over the advantages of using a 'big name' web framework for your development job. Then I will take a look at 11 of the best possibilities. Let's get started!
The Advantages of Using a Popular Web Framework
When it comes to developing websites, there are several alternatives available. In fact, it is easy to grow overwhelmed.
However, it is critical to carefully assess whatever framework you select, since it may make or break your web development experience. The appropriate solution may substantially improve your efficiency and workflow, as well as affect the features and tools available to you while working.
Furthermore, while deciding which framework to utilize for your development projects, it’s typically a good idea to start with the most popular alternatives. Simply said, the most widely used frameworks are the most established and reputable technologies. To put it another way, they’re popular for a reason.
These frameworks are more widely used, and hence more dependable, than newer or lesser-known alternatives. Another advantage is that, because well-known frameworks have bigger user bases, you’re certain to have a community of developers and a wealth of expertise to draw on if and when you need help or support.
Consider it like attempting to choose a plugin for your WordPress site. You’re more likely to feel secure and at ease using an extension that has been supported by hundreds or thousands of developers rather than one with a small number of users. When choosing a framework, the same logic applies.

DevOps as a Pathway to AWS | AWS Public Sector Summit 2016Amazon Web Services
The concept of DevOps is a powerful one for federal agencies, promising to provide the responsiveness and speed needed to keep pace with rapidly changing mission requirements. In terms of cloud adoption, DevOps accelerates the development of new, cloud-native applications while building the operational capabilities needed to manage more dynamic environments. During this session, we will review specific options for implementing DevOps using Amazon Web Services (AWS), including development of new Platform-as-a-Service capabilities and rapid migration of enterprise systems.
Building Open Source Communities for AWS Serverless Developer ToolsAmazon Web Services
AWS supports open source. AWS developers have contributed to key projects like Apache MXNet, Gluon API, EKS, and Serverless developer tools. Serverless services like AWS Lambda allow developers to build and run applications without thinking about servers. In 2016, we released an open specification called Serverless Application Model (SAM), a simple configuration file to define Lambda functions and other serverless resources. Since then we have open sourced the underlying implementation of SAM and several other tools to simplify the process of building serverless applications, including SAM Local, a popular CLI tool to run SAM-based applications on a local computer before deploying to the cloud.
In this talk, we touch upon the story of open sourcing the SAM toolset. The talk will deep dive into how an open specification has kindled and nurtured an ecosystem of open source projects comprising of serverless examples, reference architectures, libraries, CLIs, and plugins. We will share some success stories of serverless projects like Chalice that went open and matured to become production-grade. We will also discuss the journey of SAM Local CLI from a weekend project to being open source with 6,000 downloads per month, 2,000+ Github Stars, 30+ contributors, and becoming an integral part of the toolchain. The developer community has helped SAM Local CLI work seamlessly on Windows, support APIs defined in Swagger files, improve unit test coverage, and support a lot of important features. The talk will also cover lessons learned and what worked for us in growing the serverless developer community.

Open source software is important for cloud computing because it is the building block of cloud infrastructure and lowers barriers to entry for cloud service providers. While open standards and interfaces empower users, open licenses are still needed to regulate competition and prevent market consolidation, as open formats alone cannot control market dynamics that tend towards monopoly. For a competitive cloud market with self-regulation, open source drives competition between federated cloud providers and lowers costs through collaborative innovation.
Intelligent platforms aim to go beyond today's PaaS by integrating big data, mobile, and social capabilities. Next-gen intelligent apps could take advantage of ubiquitous cloud platforms and wealth of big data to deliver personalized insights. While some examples exist today, enterprises have an opportunity to develop intelligent apps that leverage predictive analytics. Future platforms may need to offer data as a service and support polyglot development to enable the creation of intelligent applications.
Big Data and intelligent platforms will drive the next iteration of Platform as a Service (PaaS) in a data-driven world. Intelligent apps of the future will take advantage of changes in how apps are consumed, ubiquitous cloud platforms, and vast amounts of big data. These intelligent platforms will have big data at their core and integrate mobile and social capabilities, allowing apps to be composed of services and gain insights from data. Examples include Netflix and Amazon, while platforms like Flow.net and the Brooklyn Project aim to enable these types of intelligent apps.
These slides offer a brief introduction to cloud computing for SMBs. The talk highlights some of the advantages of cloud computing for them and then addresses some of the concerns they might have regarding cloud.
This case study looks into how one enterprise is using Social Business Tools inside their organization. Even though the study is specific to Salesforce Chatter, there are some generic lessons highlighted.
The document discusses cloud computing trends from 2010 and predictions for 2011 and beyond. In 2010, cloud computing moved from hype to reality as enterprises acknowledged its strategic advantages. Private clouds gained momentum as enterprises deployed them to improve resource utilization. The document predicts that in 2011 and beyond, enterprise adoption of public clouds will increase through hybrid cloud models. As public clouds mature and enterprises become more comfortable with cloud services, more workloads will move from private to public clouds.
Cloud computing offers advantages like lower costs, increased mobility and collaboration, and scaling capabilities. It involves consuming computing resources like infrastructure, platforms and software from the cloud on-demand. While current limitations include immature applications and lack of integration, cloud computing is maturing with more diverse applications, integration between vendors, and availability of service level agreements. It allows accessing data and applications from anywhere using internet-connected devices, increasing productivity significantly.
