Study Notes

What is Integrative Programming?

Integrative programming combines and coordinates separate elements to construct an interrelated whole.
It involves designing individual modules to function cooperatively as an entire system.
Integrative programming incorporates modules coded in different languages to achieve a unified task.

What is an Integrative System?

An integrated system, or systems integration, is the process of bringing together component sub-systems into one functional system.
It provides a system with coherence by making the parts or components work together.
System integration is essential to the development of large, complex engineered systems.

System Integration (SI)

SI is used for melding existing systems and new technologies to form more capable systems.
It requires the coordination of preexisting and coexisting system components with newly developed ones.
SI ensures that specific hardware/software components fit together smoothly in a stated configuration.

Programming Languages

A programming language is an artificial language designed to communicate instructions to a machine (computer).
It is used to create programs that control the behavior of a machine and/or express algorithms.
A programming language is defined by its syntax (combination of permitted symbols) and semantics (arrangement of symbols that have meaning).

C++ Program Structure

A simple C++ program that prints "Hello World" includes the following code:
- #include
- using namespace std;
- int main() { cout << "Hello World"; }

PHP Tags

PHP supports two types of tags: short-open (SGML-style) and ASP-style tags.
Short-open tags look like <? ?> and require the --enable-short-tags configuration option or the short_open_tag setting in the php.ini file to be enabled.
ASP-style tags look like <% %> and require the configuration option in the php.ini file to be set.

PHP Properties

PHP is a case-sensitive language.
Braces {} are used to make blocks of statements, allowing multiple statements to be executed as a single statement.

Dynamic Websites

Dynamic websites provide functionalities that can be used to store, update, retrieve, and delete data in a database.
A form is a document that contains blank fields, which the user can fill with data or select from a pre-defined list.
The data entered in a form is typically stored in a database.

PHP Form Validation

An example of a PHP form validation tutorial includes fields for:
- Name
- E-mail
- Specific Time
- Class details
- Gender (Female/Male)

Running a PHP File

To run a PHP file, it must be:
- Named with a .php file extension
- Saved in the htdocs folder inside the xampp folder in the local C drive
- Called in a browser by inputting the URL localhost/.php
