NU - DASMARIÑAS INTRODUCTION TO INTEGRATIVE PROGRAMMING Week 2 1st Term 2024 - 2025 RENEN PAUL M. VIADO School of Engineering, Computing, and Architecture  I. Definition and concepts of integrative programming Integrative Programming refers to the practice of combining multiple programming languages, frameworks, libraries, or tools within a single software project to leverage the strengths of each. This approach is increasingly important in modern software development, where complex applications often require diverse functionalities that are best achieved through a combination of technologies. INTEGRATIVE PROGRAMMING AND TECHNOLOGIES Course Code: CTINPRGL  Key Concepts of Integrative Programming 1. Multi-Language Development: Utilizing different programming languages within the same project to take advantage of the specific strengths of each. For example, using Python for data processing and JavaScript for frontend development. 2. Cross-Platform Integration: Developing applications that work across multiple platforms (web, mobile, desktop) by integrating different technologies. For example, using React Native for mobile development while using React JS for the web frontend. INTEGRATIVE PROGRAMMING AND TECHNOLOGIES Course Code: CTINPRGL  Key Concepts of Integrative Programming 3. API Integration: Connecting different systems or services through Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) to enable communication between them. This allows developers to integrate external services, such as payment gateways, social media, or data services, into their applications. 4. Framework and Library Integration: Combining different frameworks or libraries within a single project to build more feature-rich and efficient applications. For example, using Angular for handling complex frontend logic and React JS for creating highly dynamic UI components.

Microservices Architecture: Developing software applications as a collection of loosely coupled services, each responsible for a specific function. This approach allows developers to use different technologies for each microservice, optimizing performance and scalability. 6. Data Integration: Combining data from multiple sources or databases to provide a unified view or to perform complex data analytics. This may involve integrating SQL and NoSQL databases or combining on-premises and cloud-based data stores. INTEGRATIVE PROGRAMMING AND TECHNOLOGIES Course Code: CTINPRGL  Key Concepts of Integrative Programming 7. Middleware and Orchestration: Using middleware to connect different applications, services, or components within a system, and orchestrating their interactions to ensure seamless operation. Middleware often handles tasks such as message passing, data transformation, and process coordination. INTEGRATIVE PROGRAMMING AND TECHNOLOGIES Course Code: CTINPRGL  II. Importance of integrative programming in software development 1. Enhanced Functionality - Integrative programming allows different software components to work together seamlessly, creating systems that offer more comprehensive and powerful features. 2. Improved User Experience - When different systems and components are integrated effectively, users experience smoother and more intuitive interactions. 3. Increased Efficiency - Integration helps streamline workflows and processes by enabling automated data exchange and communication between systems. INTEGRATIVE PROGRAMMING AND TECHNOLOGIES Course Code: CTINPRGL  II. Importance of integrative programming in software development 4. Scalability and Flexibility - Loosely coupled systems, a key aspect of integrative programming, are easier to scale and modify. 5. Cost-Effectiveness - By integrating existing systems and components, organizations can leverage their current investments rather than building new solutions from scratch. 6. Better Data Management - Integrative programming facilitates better data management by ensuring that data flows smoothly between different systems. INTEGRATIVE PROGRAMMING AND TECHNOLOGIES Course Code: CTINPRGL  II. Importance of integrative programming in software development 7. Collaboration and Teamwork - Integration encourages collaboration among different development teams, each working on different components or services. 8. Future-Proofing - As technology evolves, integrative programming allows systems to adapt more easily to new technologies and standards. This ensures that applications remain relevant and functional over time. INTEGRATIVE PROGRAMMING AND TECHNOLOGIES Course Code: CTINPRGL  III. Introduction to Frameworks and Libraries What Are Frameworks and Libraries? Frameworks and libraries are essential tools in software development that help developers build applications more efficiently by providing pre- written code, structures, and functionalities. INTEGRATIVE PROGRAMMING AND TECHNOLOGIES Course Code: CTINPRGL  1. Frameworks: Definition: A framework is a collection of pre-defined classes, functions, and rules that provides a structure and a foundation for building software applications. Frameworks typically dictate the architecture of an application and enforce certain coding patterns and best practices. Examples: Web Development: Angular (for building dynamic web applications), Django (for Python web applications). Mobile Development: Flutter (for cross-platform mobile apps), React Native (for building native mobile apps using JavaScript). INTEGRATIVE PROGRAMMING AND TECHNOLOGIES Course Code: CTINPRGL  2. Libraries: Definition: A library is a collection of pre-written code that developers can call upon to perform common tasks. Unlike frameworks, libraries don’t dictate the overall structure of the application but rather offer specific functionalities that can be used within a project. Examples: JavaScript Libraries: React (for building user interfaces), Lodash (for utility functions), Axios (for making HTTP requests). Python Libraries: NumPy (for numerical operations), Pandas (for data manipulation), Matplotlib (for data visualization). INTEGRATIVE PROGRAMMING AND TECHNOLOGIES Course Code: CTINPRGL  Benefits of Using Frameworks and Libraries 1. Efficiency: They provide reusable code, reducing the amount of time and effort needed to write common functionalities from scratch. 2. Consistency: Frameworks enforce a consistent structure and coding style, making the codebase easier to understand and maintain. 3. Scalability: Both frameworks and libraries offer tools and patterns that help in building scalable applications. 4. Community Support: Popular frameworks and libraries have large communities, offering extensive documentation, tutorials, and support.

This includes everything from the layout and design to the interactive elements and user experience. Languages and Technologies: HTML (HyperText Markup Language) CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) JavaScript Frameworks and Libraries INTEGRATIVE PROGRAMMING AND TECHNOLOGIES Course Code: CTINPRGL  Introduction to Front-End and Back-End Development Back-End Development Back-end development deals with the server side of a website or application. It focuses on how the site works, including database interactions, server logic, and application performance. Languages and Technologies: Server-Side Languages Databases APIs (Application Programming Interfaces) Frameworks INTEGRATIVE PROGRAMMING AND TECHNOLOGIES Course Code: CTINPRGL  Relationship Between Front-End and Back-End Front-end and back-end development are two sides of the same coin, working together to create a fully functional web application. The front-end interacts with users, while the back- end processes data and handles business logic. Effective communication and integration between the two are crucial for a seamless user experience. Full-Stack Development A full-stack developer is proficient in both front-end and back- end development. They have the skills to build a complete web application from start to finish, handling everything from the user interface to the server-side logic and database management.
