Intro to React In a rapidly developing, technological economy of flashy and highly-functional websites, developers require powerful new programming tools to stay relevant. To that end, an innovative, JavaScript compatible library known as React has been created. Developed by Facebook software engineer Jordan Walke, this open source library delivers powerful extensions and tools that facilitate the creation of intuitive, world-class user interfaces. Examples of the power imparted by the React library can be seen in popular web services like Netflix, Facebook, Instagram, and many more.
React is maintained in collaboration between Facebook and Instagram, with input from a consortium of private developers and corporations. The library

All decisions are based around three operands, where the expression a ? b : c evaluates to b if a is true, or otherwise evaluates to c. In addition to supporting HTML attributes, React also serves up support for custom attributes denoted with the “data-“ prefix.
Of course, developers that are already comfortable with Javascript may use it directly as well, bypassing the grammar extension entirely. By employing curly brackets, one can make use of JavaScript expressions within the framework. React’s basic architecture applies beyond the realm of standard HTML and Javascript browser rendering, allowing for unique component rendering that the two languages are not traditionally capable of. This may include dynamic charts, as used by Facebook, or isomorphic page loading, as applied by Netflix to achieve identical rendering on both server and client side.
In addition to its HTML accommodating nature, a Virtual Document Object Model, known as a Virtual DOM, greatly improves website workflow in react. Virtual DOM allows the programmer to write code as if the whole page were re-rendered after each change to it, even though the libraries in React are only rendering changed subcomponents. React accomplishes this by creating an in-memory data structure cache, calculating the resulting differences, and then efficiently updating the
The first versions of WWW ((what most people call “The Web”))) provide means for people around the world to exchange information between, to work together, to communicate, and to share documentation more efficiently. Tim Berners-Lee wrote the first browser (called WWW browser) and Web server in March 1991, allowing hypertext documents to be stored, fetched, and viewed. The Web can be seen as a tremendous document store where these documents (web pages) can be fetched by typing their address into a web browser. To do that, two im- portant techniques have been developed. First, a language called Hypertext Markup Languag (HTML) tells the computers how to display documents which contain texts, photos, sounds, visuals (video), and animation, interactive
A Document Object Model (DOM) is a API (application protocol interface) used in HTML and
Facebook was launched on February 4, 2004 by nineteen year old named Mark Zuckerberg (Carlson). In 2010 it became one of the most popular websites in the world, visited by over 400 million people per month. The sudden popularity of Facebook was so extraordinary, that a movie called “The Social Network” came out telling the story of its development (The Social Network). This site created an innovative way for its users to exchange messages, post status updates, post photos, and join common interest groups. In addition to that users can like and comment on
Document Object Model (DOM) is a dictionary and grammar for interpreting HTML. A DOM describes HTML elements and their attributes and properties and how they are used to create web pages.
The California Student Safety and Violence Prevention Act of 2000, adds actual or perceived sexual orientation and actual or perceived gender identity as protected groups in public education facilities for students and staff. The law’s aim is to ensure, regardless of gender identity or sexual orientation, staff and students a safe learning environment. This amendment to existing anti-harassment law is necessary based on the fact that lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and questioning (LGBTQ) students are subjected to bullying and harassment based on their perceived sexual orientation or gender identity. According to Gay, Lesbian & Straight Education Network (GLSEN) in 2013 most LGBTQ students had been victimized at school. In fact, they state
This class is also going to expand briefly on other pseudo-classes and elements and introduce the other things you can do to elements including filter, transform and translate them. We are also going to touch on browser compatibility.
This research report was to understand the background of the software architecture and how it interrelates with the architecture of web browser. Having a working reference that could be used for the project will help both during maintenance and design time.
Living in the twenty first century, no one is unfamiliar with the recent incline of modern advancements and technology used to better our lives. Programmers are constantly engineering new sources of machinery to help make our lives, our labor, and our time have a more efficient outcome. Within the recent decade, the word “social media” has been spreading worldwide as opportunities to connect with old friends begins to expand. Social media is a broad word to describe certain applications that allow for their users to create, share, and like content about events happening anywhere in the world. Everyone is able to recognize the words “Facebook,” “Snapchat,” “Instagram,” and “Twitter,” for these are the
CSS or Cascading Style Sheet is a language used to format a document written in a markup language such as HTML. It is used primarily to format elements such as colour, font, layout, and positioning. CSS can be used in three different ways. External, embedded and inline. Each of which I will expand on later. CSS was initially released in December 1996 and has evolved through 4 levels, CSS 1, 2, 2.1 and 3.
Throughout the last decade web developers have been experiencing changes in Web Standards as well as a different markup language called HTML5. HTML5 a markup language used for structuring and presenting content for the World Wide Web. HTML, or Hyper Text Markup Language forms the backbone of almost every site on the internet. The most important technologies right now are HTML and devices evolving HTML platforms (Anglin). Although HTML5 is the most recent updated markup language today, it has many advantages and disadvantages when it comes to web development. HTML4, the last major iteration of the language, debuted in 1997 and has been subsequently poked and prodded so that it can handle the demands of the modern Web (O’Brien). In order for web developers to fully understand the meaning behind HTML5, throughout this article I will be discussing why HTML5 is such a big deal, what it can actually do, the many advantages and disadvantages, the benefits that favor HTML5, and arguments it has for the web today.
HTML is the basic language understood by all WWW (World Wide Web) clients. It can execute on a PC under any operating system such as Windows, Mac, Linux, or on a Unix workstation. However, it is limited in its computational power intentionally because it can prevent the execution of dangerous programs on the client machine. Web programmers, who are now much more sophisticated in their applications, provide different type of services to a growing demand of interactive content. Today, most users have competent client machines which are capable of doing much more than HTML allows. Fortunately, there is steady development in the field, and today the number of capable applications is expanding. We can easily build database-driven websites with various
Modern Technologies: Current web applications utilize technologies such as AJAX, CSS, SQLite, HTML5, and have multimedia-rich interfaces. Ex-isting benchmarks do not utilize all of these fea-tures, reducing the variability in their resource utilizations, response times, and simplifying their management. We include these technologies so that C-MART emulates a modern application.
It can be used to tag data, defining data types, is a technology that allows users to define their own markup language source language. It is ideal for Web transmission, providing a unified approach to describing and exchanging independent of applications or vendors of structured data.
The last ten years have seen the release of a huge number of JavaScript frameworks. Designed and developed to aid in the rapid development of websites, web applications and other online software. Previously, to develop large applications that were secure, fully functional, cross browser applications would have taken a team of developers, working on bespoke front-end and backend systems. With the advancement of the web browser, along with the maturing of HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript and the addition of frameworks the possibilities for complex web applications is huge. It is now possible to substitute desktop applications with apps running in the browser. With the addition of web frameworks, developers can worry less about the complexities
HTML (HyperTex Markup Language) was originally released by Tim BernersLee and Robert Cailliau in May 1991 (Mowery and Simcoe, 2002). HTML is the language used to write and create a web page as it enabled authors to include multimedia documents such as sounds, pictures and videos in their web pages and it was a fulfilment of hypertext which allows people to include hypertexts in their documents. It enabled authors to link certain images or words to other documents and could directly led users to another web page. As a means to represent data on the page, HTML is the underlying system of Information management which not only defines what a web page looks like but also how it is broken into separate information segments. HTML page
