Learning JavaScript for Web Designing

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.

To understand the difference, consider the example of a group children in a school; they are categorized into classes as Grade 1 - Red, Grade 1 - Blue. The problem of this categorization is that if they all are made to stand together as a crowd then an outsider cannot identify the grade colours of the students. An outsider can only identify when they see them sitting in their respective classes. In this condition, if the outsider is asked " Hey outsider, please identify which students belong to grade 1 - red!"
