Study Notes

Responsive Web Design (RWD)

  • RWD adapts layouts to screen size, eliminating separate designs for different devices.
  • Crucial for today's multi-device use (phones to desktops).
  • Google prioritizes mobile-friendly sites in search rankings.

HTML

  • <!DOCTYPE html> is crucial for correct rendering.
  • <html>, <head>, and <body> structure page content.
  • Semantic elements (e.g., <header>, <nav>, <section>, <footer>) improve accessibility and SEO, replacing generic <div> or <span> tags.

CSS (Cascading Style Sheets)

  • Styles and lays out web pages.
  • External stylesheets (linked via <link>) separate CSS from HTML for easier maintenance and scaling.
  • Modern layout techniques (Flexbox and Grid) create flexible and adaptive layouts.
  • Media queries apply different styles based on screen size or device type.

JavaScript (JS)

  • Adds interactivity (animations, form validations, responsive menus).
  • A practical example is a responsive navigation menu, toggling on smaller screens.

React

  • Popular JavaScript library for UI, particularly single-page applications (SPAs).
  • Breaks down complex UIs into reusable components.
  • Component-based architecture for manageable development and code reusability.

Virtual DOM

  • React uses a virtual representation (Virtual DOM) of the actual DOM.
  • Updates the Virtual DOM first, then efficiently updates the real DOM.
  • Faster than directly updating the real DOM.

Unidirectional Data Flow

  • React follows a one-way data flow model for easier debugging and understanding application state..

Components

  • Building blocks of React applications.
  • Functional components are simple JavaScript functions returning a UI (often JSX, similar to HTML).
  • Class components are ES6 classes with more complex logic (though less common now with hooks).

JSX (JavaScript XML)

  • Syntax that looks like HTML but is written inside JavaScript.
  • Allows writing HTML structures within JavaScript.
  • Embeds JavaScript expressions inside curly braces ({}) for dynamic content.
  • Classnames and for attributes are used as className and forName to avoid conflicts with JavaScript keywords.

Props

  • Read-only data passed from parent to child components.
  • Make components dynamic and reusable.

State

  • Component data that can change over time.
  • Managed internally, triggering re-renders when changes occur.

Hooks

  • Special functions in React that enable accessing React features without classes.
  • useState allows for adding state to functional components.
  • useEffect handles side effects (e.g., DOM manipulation, data fetching).

Component Lifecycle

  • React components have phases (lifecycle) during operation.
  • Class components have lifecycle methods for actions at specific points during operation.
  • Functional components use hooks like useEffect to achieve similar behavior.

RESTful APIs

  • Use HTTP methods (e.g., GET, POST, PUT, DELETE) for CRUD (Create, Read, Update, Delete) operations on resources.
  • APIs are lightweight and efficient for network communications (intra or inter-network).
  • Standard HTTP methods for interacting with resources: GET, POST, PUT, DELETE.
  • Examples presented for CRUD operations (create, read, update, delete).

Testing APIs

  • Tools like Postman make sending HTTP requests and viewing responses easy.
  • Browsers can be used to test GET requests by entering the API URL.

Consuming RESTful APIs

  • Use JavaScript's fetch API to make requests to RESTful APIs from webpages.
  • GET requests retrieve data.
  • POST requests send data to the API.

Error Handling in RESTful APIs

  • HTTP status codes (e.g., 200 OK, 404 Not Found, 500 Internal Server Error) indicate request results.
  • Proper error handling improves user experience by providing feedback.
