All these Frameworks can lead developers away from Simpler, Faster methods

[NewMedia]

In this forum I have seen cases people report where the problems in page loading when using queries for data & pagination are resolved when they learn that some server-side executed queries IMPROVE performance of a javascript-based framework.

Which might make a good ARTICLE on where & when a powerful data server is the best choice for loading the results from complicated queries.

Beau Beauchamp is not a fan of a hundred new framesets that fool developers into trying to make all processing take place in the user’s browser when a little Server Side magic would make pages load much faster & reliably.

An “old” coder’s rant !

THE SECRET to a really FAST API in TIGER API is turning the message processing over to a well-developed PHP _construct() method (function).

Every average developer should know that local computing power and memory are limited and shared with tons of other resources. You can’t scale Francis McFrankies’ laptop but you can scale your backend.
The guy was working with junior developers that were pushing too much to the browser and he just proposed what an average developer would have: let’s move something to the backend.

Why he has a blog to speak about that is another story.

By the way, Beau Beauchamp’s API is in use here –
US Census Bureau uses TigerWeb for displaying Mapping

I think that is not the same.
