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.
