    Study Notes

    Client Server Architecture

    • Client server architecture consists of three tiers: Client/Presentation, Application, and Data.
    • The Client/Presentation tier is the user interface (UI).
    • The Application tier handles data processing.
    • The Data tier stores and manages application data.
    • Benefits of client server architecture:
      • Reliability: Each tier can operate independently, reducing the risk of a single point of failure.
      • Modular: Applications can be developed and maintained as independent modules, allowing for easier updates and replacements.

    Web Stack

    • MongoDB is a document-oriented database that stores data in JSON-like documents. It's highly scalable and well-suited for applications requiring high performance and flexible schema. Use cases include storing user data, product details, content, or any other data where a NoSQL schema is beneficial.
    • React is a JavaScript library for building user interfaces, especially single-page applications. It allows for creating dynamic, responsive, and reusable UI components. It can consume APIs provided by backend frameworks like Django or Flask.
    • Django is a high-level Python web framework that enables the rapid development of secure and scalable web applications. It follows the MVC (Model-View-Controller) pattern and provides features like authentication, ORM, and routing. Use cases include building backend APIs for web and mobile applications, handling complex business logic, managing user authentication, and interfacing with databases like MongoDB.
    • Kafka is a distributed event streaming platform capable of handling real-time data feeds. It enables microservices and distributed systems to communicate asynchronously, improving scalability and reliability. Use cases include streaming data between services, building event-driven applications, real-time data pipelines, and distributed processing.
    • Docker packages applications and their dependencies into containers, allowing them to run consistently across various environments. It ensures applications are platform-agnostic and easy to deploy. Use cases include packaging and deploying the entire application stack (React frontend, Django backend, MongoDB, Kafka) as containers. This is particularly useful for microservices architecture and cloud deployments on AWS.
    • AWS offers cloud infrastructure, storage, and various other services. It enables hosting and scaling applications, managing databases, deploying Docker containers, and using advanced cloud-based tools. Use cases include hosting the entire application stack, including containerized services, managing databases, implementing serverless components, and using AWS Lambda for specific serverless functions.
    • Flask is a minimalistic Python framework, often used for microservices or simple APIs, providing flexibility when Django might seem too heavy. Use cases include building microservices, creating RESTful APIs, or lightweight services that interact with other parts of the application.
    • Streamlit is a Python library that allows for quickly building interactive data applications. It's particularly useful for data science and machine learning applications, enabling the creation of web-based interfaces for ML models and data visualizations. Use cases include developing data-driven applications, creating dashboards or ML model interfaces, and serving analytics applications to end-users.

    Web Application Architecture

    • User actions in a web application architecture include collecting data and displaying results.
    • The Frontend is what users see and interact with, comprised of HTML, CSS, and Javascript.
    • The Webserver contains the application logic, often using languages like PHP, Javascript, Python, or Java.
    • The Backend consists of the file system (HTML, CSS, images) and the database (mySQL, postgresSQL, mariaDB).

    Frontend Technologies

    • HTML defines the structure and content of a document or website.
    • CSS controls the visual aspect, determining colors, margins, positions, sizes, and behaviors.
    • Javascript enables interactivity.

    Inside A Browser

    • Key parts of a browser include the rendering engine and the Javascript interpreter.
    • The rendering engine transforms HTML/CSS into visual images.
    • The Javascript interpreter (also known as the VM, virtual machine) executes Javascript code.

    HTML

    • HTML stands for Hyper Text Markup Language.
    • HTML defines the structure of a document or website.
    • HTML is used to structure content, not define algorithms.
    • HTML is a subset of XML (extensible markup language).

    HTML: Basic Rules

    • HTML uses XML syntax - tags with attributes that can contain other tags and content.
    • Information in HTML is stored as a tree-like structure of nodes containing other nodes.
    • This tree is called the DOM (Document Object Model).

    DOM is a Tree

    • The DOM is a tree-like structure where each node can have only one parent but multiple children.

    HTML: Main Tags

    • The <div> tag is a container usually representing a rectangular area with information inside.
    • The <img> tag represents an image.
    • The <a> tag creates a clickable link to another URL.
    • The <p> tag represents a text paragraph.
    • The <title> tag sets the title of the page.
    • The <input> tag is a widget for user input.
    • The <style> tag is used to insert CSS rules.
    • The <script> tag is used to execute Javascript code.
    • The <br> tag is a null tag (doesn't do anything) and is useful for tagging information.
    • The <button> tag creates a button.
    • The <audio> tag plays audio.
    • The <video> tag plays video.
    • The <canvas> tag draws graphics from Javascript.
    • The <iframe> tag embeds another website within the current one.

    HTML: Wrapping the Info

    • Wrapping information with HTML tags provides structure, making it easier to access and present.

    CSS

    • CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) allows specifying how to present (render) document information stored in HTML.
    • CSS enables control over:
      • Colors (content, background, borders)
      • Margins (interior, exterior)
      • Position (where to place elements)
      • Sizes (width, height)
      • Behavior (changes on mouse over)

    Example CSS Code

    • * { color: blue; margin: 10px; font: 14px Tahoma; } - This will change all tags in the web (since * means all) to appear blue with Tahoma font, 14 pixels in size, and a 10-pixel margin around them.

    Common CSS Fields

    • color: #FF0000; red; rgba(255,00,100,1.0); - different ways to specify colors.
    • background-color: red;
    • background-image: url('file.png');
    • font: 18px 'Tahoma';
    • border: 2px solid black;
    • border-top: 2px solid red;
    • border-radius: 2px; - to remove corners and make them more rounded.
    • margin: 10px; - distance from the border to outer elements.
    • padding: 2px; - distance from the border to inner elements.
    • width: 100%; 300px; 1.3em; - various ways to specify distances.
    • height: 200px;
    • text-align: center;
    • box-shadow: 3px 3px 5px black;
    • cursor: pointer;
    • display: inline-block;
    • overflow: hidden;

    Ways to Add CSS Rules

    • Insert code inside a <style> tag: p { color: blue }
    • Reference an external CSS file: (Link to the CSS file in the HTML)
    • Use the style attribute on a tag: <p style="color: blue">
    • Use Javascript: (Javascript code manipulating the DOM)

    Example CSS Code (continued)

    • div { background-color: red; } - Changes the background color of the div tag to red.
    • body { background-color: red; } - Changes the background color of the body tag to red.
