PROJECT FILES

We are using an example project which is a resume website that includes portfolio. This portfolio does not contain any images, title or description INSIDE the HTML. Rather it is in a separate data file. What we have to do it fetch data from this file based on what portfolio DIV is clicked. The information of that portfolio will be displayed in a modal.



This modal is created only once and displays the data according to the clicks. We will create different objects in our reference file where each object will represent one set of actions (or properties). For example, we will reference the complete modal and its buttons, links, icons, image inside an object and use it smartly to write our logic. If we will not follow this approach, we will fall into writing too much codes with too little impact.



So what is object? Object is a key value pair, where keys have a user-defined name that can be called easily to access the value. The object is created in a way similar to a variable, and defined in a  way similar to an array (with slightly different brackets and commas).

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.

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.
