    Study Notes

    Database Systems

    • A database is a collection of interrelated data that helps in the efficient retrieval, insertion, and deletion of data.
    • A Database Management System (DBMS) is a software system designed to organize and manage data in a structured manner.
    • The primary functions of a DBMS include data definition, data manipulation, data security, data integrity, concurrency control, and backup and recovery.

    Database Types

    • Relational Databases (SQL Databases) organize data into tables, where each table has rows and columns. These databases use structured query language (SQL) for defining and manipulating data.
    • NoSQL Databases are designed to handle large volumes of unstructured, semi-structured, or structured data. These databases provide flexible schema designs and offer horizontal scalability.

    NoSQL Database Types

    • Document databases store data in flexible, JSON-like documents.

    • Graph databases optimize for data with complex relationships.

    • Key-value stores are the simplest NoSQL databases, storing data as key-value pairs.

    • Column-family stores store data in columns rather than rows.

    • Cloud Databases are online databases that store and manage data in a cloud computing environment. They offer advantages such as scalability, reliability, and accessibility.

    • In-memory databases store data in RAM, leading to faster data access.

    • Time-series databases are optimized for storing and querying time-stamped data, such as sensor data, IoT data, and financial market data.

    • NewSQL databases combine the scalability and flexibility of NoSQL databases with the ACID compliance and SQL querying capabilities of traditional relational databases.

    • Object-oriented databases organize and store data using object-oriented programming principles. Data is represented as objects, encapsulating both data and the methods or functions operating on that data.

    Relational vs Non-Relational Databases

    Relational Databases

    • Advantages:
      • Data integrity
      • Structured Query Language (SQL)
      • Complex queries and relationships
    • Disadvantages:
      • Scalability
      • Schema rigidity
      • Handling of unstructured data

    Non-Relational Databases

    • Advantages:
      • Scalability
      • Flexibility
      • Performance
    • Disadvantages:
      • Complex transactions
      • Consistency
      • Standardization

    SQL vs NoSQL

    • SQL is a domain-specific language used to query and manage data in relational databases. It allows users to query, insert, delete, and update records using complex logic via transactions, stored functions, and views.
    • NoSQL (Not Only SQL) is a type of database that uses non-relational data structures like documents, graph databases, and key-value stores. NoSQL systems offer flexibility, scalability, and are ideal for handling unstructured data.

    Web Technologies

    • Web Development is the process of creating, building, and maintaining websites. It includes web design, web publishing, web programming, and database management.

    Web Development Types

    • Front End Development focuses on what the user sees and interacts with, including visual design, user experience, and interactivity.
    • Back End Development focuses on server-side logic, database management, security, and user authentication.
    • HTML (HyperText Markup Language) structures the content of web pages and acts as a skeleton.
    • CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) is used to style the visual appearance of web pages.
    • JavaScript is a scripting language that adds dynamic behavior and interactivity to web pages.

    Web Servers and Hosting

    • Web Servers process user requests and serve files to create web pages using HTTP. They store website files and deliver them to clients upon request. Examples include:

      • Apache HTTP Server: The most popular open-source web server.
      • Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS): A performant web server designed for Windows operating systems.

    • Web Hosting provides the resources and technologies for a website to be accessible online. It involves renting space on a computer to store website files and data.

    Web APIs and RESTful Services

    • Web APIs provide interfaces for web browsers and other applications to interact with specific functionalities and data. They allow web pages to dynamically fetch and display information from other sources.

    Why Use Web APIs?

    • Reduces Efforts: APIs can help simplify development time by offering pre-built functionalities and data.
    • Less Maintenance: Third-party APIs are maintained by external providers, reducing maintenance burdens.
    • Security: APIs can enhance security by providing controlled access to data and functionalities.

    Types of Web APIs

    • Web Storage API: Enables storage of data within the browser on the client side.

    • Web API CSS Font Loading: Handles dynamically changing CSS on a web page.

    • Web API History: Provides access to the browser's history.

    • Web API Popover: Displays messages requiring immediate attention, such as help, modals, toasts, etc.

    • Web API Picture-in-Picture: Allows websites to display a floating video window.

    • Web API Fullscreen: Controls fullscreen mode.

    • Web API Battery: Tracks battery status information.

    • Web API Clipboard: Allows direct access to the user's clipboard.

    • Web API Vibration: Enables web developers to manage device vibrations.

    • Web API UI Events: Handles events occurring in the user interface layer.

    • Web API Console: Provides an interactive environment for developers to debug and inspect web applications.

    • Web API HTML Drag and Drop: Enables users to drag and drop elements like text and images within a web page.

    • Web API Fetch: Performs requests and returns a promise for retrieving response data.

    • RESTful Web Services are an architectural style that utilizes Representational State Transfer principles. They aim for performance, scalability, and modifiability using HTTP as their protocol.

    Advantages of RESTful Web Services

    • Speed: RESTful services are faster than SOAP-based services due to their lightweight nature.
    • Compatible with SOAP: RESTful services can be implemented with SOAP principles.
    • Language and Platform Independency: RESTful services can be written in any programming language and used across different platforms.
    • Supports Various Data Formats: They allow the use of various data formats such as HTML, XML, Plain Text, and JSON.
