Introduction Form validation is one of the most essential components of data entry in web applications. Users can make mistakes, some users are malicious. With input validation, we protect our app from bad data that affects business logic and malicious input meant to harm our systems Trying to process unvalidated user inputs can cause unexpected/unhandled bugs, if not a server crash. In this context, validating data means verifying input and checking if it meets certain expectations or criteria(s). Data validation […]

Introduction As web applications evolve and their usage increases, the use-cases also diversify. We are now building and using websites for more complex tasks than ever before. Some of these tasks can be processed and feedback relayed to the users instantly, while others require further processing and relaying of results later. The increased adoption of internet access and internet-capable devices has led to increased end-user traffic. In a bid to handle increased traffic or increased complexity of functionality, sometimes we […]

Introduction Databases are a crucial part of modern applications since they store the data used to power them. Generally, we use the Structured Query Language (SQL) to perform queries on the database and manipulate the data inside of it. Though initially done via dedicated SQL tools, we’ve quickly moved to using SQL from within applications to perform queries. Naturally, as time passed, Object Relational Mappers (ORMs) came to be – which enable us to safely, easily and conveniently connect to […]
