Learning JavaScript for Web Designing

By
There was a time when JavaScript was only used for handling events on the webpage. Front-end developers were more interested in learning tables and CSS for designing the layout of the websites. Today, the trend of designing and developing website is a lot more complicated, quick and advanced. Website is no more a static representation of media and content; it is more of a platform where users are interacting with the content, exploring the information, analyzing their businesses; this turns even a simple website into a web application. Achieving this level of engagement and functionality requires not only the skills of  HTML and CSS but also JavaScript.

Now, the Jacks of this trade knows that we are not directly using JavaScript, we use frameworks and libraries to design and layout the structure of the websites. One of the most widely used frameworks is Bootstrap, which requires jQuery as its library. JQuery is a JavaScript based library that has created pre-built functions and exposed to the developers for quickly adding interaction and advanced functionalities to the websites and applications.

Recently, two new technologies added to the development kit, namely NodeJS and Angular, both have different purposes and development techniques but same goal - fast development of dynamic applications and websites. Angular (framework) uses the power of JavaScript language to create dynamic client-side web applications, whereas NodeJS (cross-platform development environment) partly uses JavaScript to create dynamic server-side networking applications. The most beautiful aspect of these JavaScript based technologies is that they let the developers instantly create the website layout without worrying about the fundamentals of the underlying languages. These are the tools that let developers pick different things from around the world and join together.

The world is exploiting the power of JavaScript and creating frameworks, libraries and environments for the developers to expedite the development process globally. Make use of these technologies and get ready for the upcoming technological sorcery that will change the development experience altogether allowing the developers to focus on what they want to develop rather than wasting time how they want it to do be done; the 'how' part would be handled by those technologies implicitly.

Design Organized Website Structures

When developing a website, you must proactively decide its structure before starting the coding. But what does the Web Structure mean at the very first place? Website Structure can be defined as follows: When you talk about the structure of a website, you are talking about its components , their working , their location , their inter-dependency , and their interaction with the user.

Well, it can be defined as follows: Components are the useful or functional parts of a website Every component has a particular purpose and function. For example, navigation bar of a website has a purpose of providing navigation links to the user. But some, components are versatile and have multiple purposes. For example, a header of website can contain a navigation bar, a search bar, a login form...

Web Development includes Websites, Web Apps and Mobile Apps

By
A few years back, 'Web Development' term was used for the process of developing a website. This was when web development just started to gain popularity. However, with the growing need of having browser based experience within the applications, developers started a new venture called web applications. The reason for its popularity was quick development, increased manipulation of media and content, and of course the aesthetics. Despite of its popularity, security remained its main concern for the data-critical organizations. After a while, developers managed to flawlessly handle the security concerns of the organizations. During this time span, Web Development semantically comprised of both website and web application development. During the past few years, into this group joined another term called Mobile Apps. Just recently before this addition, native apps was widely looked for, but now organizations have realized that the power of a native app is achievable in lesser cos...
