Django 3.0 web framework released

Image result for django 3.0
On 3rd December 2019, Django released its latest major update – Django 3.0. Django is a Python-based web framework designed to help developers build apps faster with less code. Django 3.0 now comes with built-in async functionality, Python 3.6, 3.7 and 3.8 support and third-party library support for the older version of Django.

New features in Django 3.0

MariaDB support

Django now officially supports MariaDB 10.1 and higher. To use MariaDB you should use the MySQL backend, which is shared between the two.

ASGI support for async programming

Django 3.0 provides support for running as an ASGI application, making Django fully async-capable (Django already has existing WSGI support). However, async features will only be available to applications that run under ASGI. As a side-effect of this change, Django is now aware of asynchronous event loops and will block you calling code marked as “async unsafe” – such as ORM operations – from an asynchronous context.
This was one of the most eagerly awaited features.

Exclusion constraints on PostgreSQL

Django 3.0 adds a new ExclusionConstraint class which adds exclusion constraints on PostgreSQL. Constraints are added to models using the Meta.constraints option.

Filter expressions

Expressions that output BooleanField may now be used directly in QuerySet filters, without having to first annotate and then filter against the annotation.

Enumerations for model field choices

Custom enumeration types TextChoices, IntegerChoices, and Choices are now available as a way to define Field.choices. TextChoices and IntegerChoices types are provided for text and integer fields.
Django 3.0 has also dropped support for PostgreSQL 9.4 which ends in December 2019. It also removes private Python 2 compatibility APIs. The upstream support for Oracle 12.1 also ends in July 2021. Django 2.2 will be supported until April 2022. Django 3.0 officially supports Oracle 12.2 and 18c.
The complete list of updates is available in the release notes.

Documentation is Very vital before you develop any system or app

Image
Technical documentation in software engineering is the umbrella term that encompasses all written documents and materials dealing with software product development. All software development products, whether created by a small team or a large corporation, require some related documentation. And different types of documents are created through the whole  software development lifecycle  (SDLC). Documentation exists to explain product functionality, unify project-related information, and allow for discussing all significant questions arising between stakeholders and developers. Project documentation by stages and purpose On top of that, documentation errors can set gaps between the visions of stakeholders and engineers and, as a result, a proposed solution won’t meet stakeholders expectations. Consequently, managers should pay a lot of attention to documentation quality. Agile and waterfall approaches The documentation types that the team produces and its scope depending...

Today, it is hardly possible to imagine any activity not powered by some kind of computer-related processes. When digging deeper, software product development is a highly organized process with precise procedures and strictly defined steps known as Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC). Whenever you need a sophisticated system, software suite or end-user web or mobile app your outstanding project delivery, besides all the other important factors, largely depends on a set of processes practiced by the development team. The Software Development Life Cycle as a collection of rules and practices helps to connect tech, non-tech team members and project stakeholders to transform your exceptional idea into a unique software product or solution. It structures the work of the development teams enabling th...
