Study Notes

Building Real-Time Mobile and Web Apps

Ruby on Rails is an extremely productive web application framework that allows for rapid prototyping and produces cross-platform (Web, Android, iOS) code, enabling developers to build an application at least ten times faster than with a typical Java framework.
Rails includes everything needed to create a database-driven web application using the Model-View-Controller pattern.

What is an API?

An API is a set of programming code that enables data transmission between one software product and another.
It contains the terms of this data exchange and is part of a remote server that receives requests and sends responses.
An example of an API is Twitter, where a request for data goes out to Twitter's remote server, and once the browser receives the data and processes the code response, the browser displays Twitter.

What is Web Architecture?

Web architecture refers to the overall structure of a website or web application, including the way it is designed, implemented, and deployed.
It involves the use of technologies and protocols such as HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and HTTP to build and deliver web pages and applications to users.
Web architecture also includes the design and layout of the website or web application, as well as the way it is organized and the relationships between different pages and components.

Web Architecture Components

The client is the web browser or application that the user interacts with, sending requests to the server and receiving responses from the server.
The server is the computer or group of computers that host the website or web application, processing requests from the client and sending back the appropriate response.
The network is the infrastructure that connects the client and the server, such as the internet, allowing for communication between the client and the server.
The database is a collection of data used to store and retrieve information for the website or web application, which can be located on the same server as the website or web application, or hosted on a separate server.
The design and layout refer to the way the website or web application is structured and organized, including the layout, navigation, and overall appearance.
The frameworks and libraries are tools and resources used to build and maintain the website or web application, such as Ruby on Rails or Django, or libraries like jQuery or React.
The deployment and hosting refer to the way the website or web application is deployed and hosted, including the hosting environment and the process for deploying updates and changes.
