  Bootstrap for beginners You’ve definitely heard of this helpful resource for simpler page styles if you’ve found yourself here. Perhaps you have given it a shot on your own and found that you really don’t like it, at which point you started asking, “Why the hell do people say that it’s way easier to apply Bootstrap?” What is Bootstrap? Bootstrap is an open-source software package that can be used to build mobile-friendly websites and applications. It is the most widely used framework for creating mobile-friendly webpages with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. The issue of incompatibility between browsers is just one of several that it fixes. These days, websites work faultlessly across desktop, tablet, phablet, and mobile phone browsers and displays of all sizes. Bootstrap’s creators, Twitter’s Mark Otto, and Jacob Thornton, deserve all the credit. Responsive Marketed as “One framework, all devices,” Bootstrap aims to be universal in its applicability. The reason for this is th...

Yarn for beginners Node.js provides an open-source and cross-platform runtime environment for executing JavaScript code outside a browser. Node.js is ideal for building highly scalable, data-intensive, and real-time back-end services (APIs) that power our client applications. It allows you to create dynamic web pages written in JavaScript. These include video streaming sites, single-page applications, online chat applications, etc. These pages are executed on the server before being sent to a browser. Node.js has gained tremendous popularity in the JavaScript community. Popular enterprise companies like Netflix, Uber, and eBay use Node.js to develop their applications. One of the reasons for Node.js popularity is the availability of diverse and open-source packages and libraries. The popular ones include Express.js, Lodash, AsyncJS, Meteor, Sails, and others. These frameworks are built for Node.js. They help ease the entire web development pipeline. However, to use them in your Nod...

  Industry best practices for the MERN stack There are a lot of different ways to build React apps and send them to production. One way is to build the React app with NodeJS and a database like MongoDB. This stack is popular for four reasons: you can write everything in JavaScript. MongoDB, React, Express, and NodeJS are the four things. This stack can be used in many different ways when building websites. The whole front end is made with React, and MongoDB is used as a document database. The middle layer uses Express and NodeJS. I conducted an interview with an industry professional who has experience working with the MERN stack. The purpose of that interview was to gain insights into industry best practices for the MERN stack, which was used to write this article. In this article, I’ll talk about 10 best practices for making web applications with MERN. I’ll talk about things like organizing code, making sure it’s safe, and improving performance. If you’re developing a mo...

What is NPM NPM is the largest software repository in the world. Many companies use npm to manage private development in addition to its widespread use by open-source developers all around the world to share and borrow packages. NPM consists of three distinct components: Website Command Line Interface (CLI) Registry Use the website to discover packages, set up profiles, and manage other aspects of your NPM experience. For example, you can set up organizations to manage access to public or private packages. The CLI runs from a terminal and is how most developers interact with npm. The registry is a large public database of JavaScript software and the meta-information surrounding it. NPM is a command-line program that helps with package installation, version control, and dependency management. It is also an online repository for the publication of open-source Node.js projects. The number of Node.js modules and apps available on npm continues to grow exponentially. You can fin...

  MVC Architecture The Model-View-Controller (MVC) architecture is a popular choice for websites. It helps us keep our code in order. It mandates that the three main parts of any application or program be the data model, the display data, and the control data. For the MVC pattern to work, it is necessary to break out all these parts into their own objects. The MVC framework’s structure is described in depth below: MVC Architecture Diagram The MVC design pattern is used in MVC-based model designs to partition the application functionality from the user interface. The MVC pattern has three levels, as suggested by its name: Model: represents the business layer of the application View: defines the presentation of the application Controller: Manages the flow of the application Let’s see each other's components in detail: View The portion of an app responsible for showing information to users is called a “View.” The information from the model is used to construct the views. A view ...

  History of the web browser In 1950, computers took up whole rooms and were dumber than today’s pocket calculators. But progress was swift, and by 1960, they were able to run complex programs. Governments and universities across the globe thought it would be great if the machines could talk, nurturing collaboration and scientific breakthroughs. ARPANET was the first successful networking project, and in 1969, the first message was sent from the computer science lab at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) to the Stanford Research Institute (SRI), also in California. British computer scientist Tim Berners-Lee created the first web server and graphical web browser in 1990 while working at CERN , the European Organization for Nuclear Research, in Switzerland. WorldWideWeb was the name he gave to his new internet browser. The NeXT computer provided a simple graphical user interface. The World Wide Web was the first public network on which text content could be lin...

Get Styling with CSS When it comes to web design, few people have been more important or influential than Håkon Wium Lie . Working at CERN alongside Tim Berners-Lee, the creator of the web itself, Lie is the man who gave it its familiar look by inventing CSS. Without that bold move, the whole business of web design could have been a totally different beast today. As Lie puts it: “This thing could have been owned by one company. It could have been France Telecom, or it could have been Microsoft. It could have been one private owner. Instead, we have a web that is slightly disorganized, and there’s a lot of rubbish out there, but it’s also a wonderful place that reflects humanity as it should. And it’s free for everyone to use.” So how did it all come about? For those too young to remember, here’s a quick refresher. Tim Berners-Lee created HTML in late 1990. HTML was very simple. It didn’t say anything about the presentation; it was all about semantics. “We could present HTML on ...

  Layered Architecture Introduction to Layered Architecture What Is Layered Architecture? Have you ever thought about how Google manages to make Gmail available in so many different languages? Gmail is available in a wide variety of languages, including English, Spanish, French, Russian, and many more. Has Google created regional versions of Gmail? The answer is no. They built an internal version that handles all the message processing and then created a variety of user interfaces for the outside that are compatible with a wide range of languages. The Gmail app was built by Google in stages: All computation is performed at a deeper level within the system. An external layer provides user-to-user communication in their native tongue. Another layer communicates with a database where countless emails sent and received by users are archived. At least three distinct layers make up Gmail; each is responsible for a certain function and exists independently to process messages at their...

  Html History The World Wide Web began life in the place where you would least expect it: at CERN, the European Laboratory for Particle Physics in Geneva, Switzerland. CERN is a meeting place for physicists from all over the world, where highly abstract and conceptual thinkers engage in the contemplation of complex atomic phenomena that occur on a minuscule scale in time and space. This is indeed a surprising place for the beginnings of a technology that would, eventually, deliver everything from tourist information, online shopping and advertisements, financial data, weather forecasts, and much more to your personal computer. In other words, there could be cross-references from one research paper to another. This would mean that while reading one research paper, you could quickly display part of another paper that holds directly relevant text or diagrams. Documentation of a scientific and mathematical nature would thus be represented as a `web’ of information held in electron...
