Frontend Tools

Frontend tools used :

1.)HTML

2.)CSS

3.)JavaScript

HTML
 Chandigarh Engineering College
Landran, Mohali-140307
Department of Electronics & Communication

Hyper Text Markup Language is very effective language to develop the site. Our project is prepared in
HTML. It also includes the important codes that are used while we coding a site. It supports the d-html
and script languages like VB-Script and Java Script; here in this project we have used the later one.

HTML is a very simple language, easy to learn and user friendly. It is as popular as it can use any text
editor for coding purposes, and developing web pages is a easy task here. HTML is the language
interpreted by browsers. Web pages are also called HTML documents. HTML is a set of special Codes
that can be emended in text to add formatting and linking Information. HTML is specified as tags in an
HTML documents i.e the Web page.

HTML TAGS

1.)PARED TAGS:

Tags are instructions that are emended directly into the text of Pair tags called closed tags because it begin
<>and close</>.

2.)SINGULAR TAGS :

A singular tags not have a companion tag e.g<BR>Some tags that we used in our project describe in brief
given below:-

<HTML>it is used to start.

<HEAD> it is used to place the information about the program.

<TITLE>it is used to give the title of the information.

<BR>it is used to break a line.

<H1> to <H6>it is used to give the size of the specific heading.

Introduction To CSS

Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) is a style sheet language used for describing the presentation semantics(the
 Chandigarh Engineering College
Landran, Mohali-140307
Department of Electronics & Communication

look and formatting) of a document written in a markup language. Its most common application is to style
web pages written in HTML and XHTML, but the language can also be applied to any kind of XML
document, including plain XML.

CSS is designed primarily to enable the separation of document content (written in HTML or a similar
markup language) from document presentation, including elements such as the layout, colors, and fonts.
[1] This separation can improve content accessibility, provide more flexibility and control in the
specification of presentation characteristics, enable multiple pages to share formatting, and reduce
complexity and repetition in the structural content (such as by allowing for tableless web design).

CSS can also allow the same markup page to be presented in different styles for different rendering
methods, such as on-screen, in print, by voice (when read out by a speech-based browser or screen reader)
and on Braille-based, tactile devices. It can also be used to allow the web page to display differently
depending on the screen size or device on which it is being viewed.

CSS works by using selectors to target specific HTML elements and apply styles to them. Selectors can
be based on element types, classes, IDs, or other attributes, providing fine-grained control over the
appearance of individual elements or groups of elements. The "cascading" nature of CSS means that
multiple styles can be applied to an element, and in such cases, styles closer to the element take
precedence.

CSS can be written directly within the HTML file using the <style> tag or included in external CSS files
with a .css extension. External CSS files are commonly preferred as they allow for reusability and
modularity, enabling styles to be applied consistently across multiple pages of a website.

The primary benefit of using CSS lies in its ability to separate the presentation from the structure and
content of a web page. This separation enhances the maintainability and flexibility of web development
projects. By keeping the styling in separate CSS files, developers can easily update the visual design
without altering the underlying HTML structure, making it more efficient to make design changes across
the entire website.

Simple definition of CSS:

1.)CSS stands for Cascading Style Sheets

2.) Styles define how to display HTML elements

3.)Styles were added to HTML 4.0 to solve a problem

 Chandigarh Engineering College

Department of Electronics & Communication

4.)External Style Sheets can save a lot of work

5.)External Style Sheets are stored in CSS files

JavaScript

JavaScript is a scripting language that enables web developers/designers to build more functional and
interactive websites.

Common uses of JavaScript include:

1.)Alert messages

2.)Popups windows

3.)Dynamic dropdown menus

Form validation

Displaying date/time

JavaScript usually runs on the client-side (the browser's side), as opposed to server-side (on the web
server). One benefit of doing this is performance. On the client side, JavaScript is loaded into the browser
and can run as soon as it is called. Without running on the client side, the page would need to refresh each
time you needed a script to run.

Why do I Need to Create JavaScript?

You can create JavaScript using the same equipment you use when creating HTML. That is:

1.) Computer

2.) Text editor. For example, Notepad (for Windows), Pico (for Linux), or Simple text (Mac). You could
use a HTML editor if you like but it's not needed.

3.) Web Browser. For example, Internet Explorer or Firefox. You will need to ensure JavaScript is
enabled within your browser's settings (this is normally enabled by default).

Advantages of JavaScript

1.)Less server interaction − you can validate user input before sending the page off to the server. This
 Chandigarh Engineering College
Landran, Mohali-140307
Department of Electronics & Communication

saves server traffic, which means less load on your server.

2.)Immediate feedback to the visitors − they don't have to wait for a page reload to see if they have
forgotten to enter something.

3.)Increased interactivity − you can create interfaces that react when the user hovers over them with a
mouse or activates them via the keyboard.

4.)Richer interfaces − you can use JavaScript to include such items as drag-and-drop components and
sliders to give a Rich Interface to your site visitors.

Limitations of JavaScript

1.)Client-side JavaScript does not allow the reading or writing of files. This has been kept for security
reason.

2.) JavaScript cannot be used for networking applications because there is no such support available.

3.) JavaScript doesn't have any multithreading or multiprocessor capabilities.

Once again, JavaScript is a lightweight, interpreted programming language that allows you to build
interactivity into otherwise static HTML pages.

Development tools

Development Tool Used: Visual Studio Code (VS Code)

Some features of Visual Studio Code:

1. Go to Anywhere: In VS Code, you can quickly navigate to files, symbols, lines, or words using the
"Go to Anything" feature. Pressing Ctrl+P allows you to open files by typing their names, use "@" to
jump to symbols, "#" for searching within a file, and ":" to move to a specific line. These shortcuts can be
combined for more precise navigation.

2. Go to Definition: VS Code generates a project-wide index of classes, methods, and functions based on
syntax definitions. This index powers the "Go to Definition" feature, which can be accessed through a
 Chandigarh Engineering College

Department of Electronics & Communication

popup when hovering over a symbol, by pressing F12 with the caret on a symbol, or by using the "Goto
Symbol in Project" functionality.

3. Multiple Selections: VS Code allows you to make simultaneous edits to multiple lines or selections.
This feature makes it easy to rename variables and perform batch changes, boosting productivity and
efficiency.

4. Command Palette: The Command Palette in VS Code is a powerful tool for accessing less frequently
used functions, like changing syntax or indentation settings. You can open the Command Palette with
Ctrl+Shift+P and search for specific actions without navigating through menus or memorizing complex
key bindings.

5. Rich API and Package Ecosystem: VS Code provides a robust Python API that enables the
development of plugins to extend its functionality. You can install packages and extensions via the
command palette, granting access to a vast ecosystem of community-built extensions.

6. Customization: VS Code allows extensive customization through JSON files. You can configure key
bindings, menus, snippets, macros, completions, and more, tailoring the environment to your specific
needs on a per-file type and per-project basis.

7. Split Editing: Take full advantage of wide screen monitors with split editing support in VS Code. Edit
files side by side or work on two locations within a single file. You have the flexibility to choose the
number of rows and columns for your editing setup.

8. Instant Project Switch: VS Code projects capture your workspace's complete content, including
modified and unsaved files. Switching between projects is similar to the "Go to Anything" feature, and it's
instant, with no save prompts, ensuring that all your modifications are preserved when you reopen the
project.

9. Performance: VS Code is built with custom components that provide exceptional responsiveness. It
boasts a custom cross-platform UI toolkit and a powerful syntax highlighting engine, setting a high
standard for performance.

10. Cross-Platform: Visual Studio Code is available for Mac, Windows, and Linux. A single license
allows you to use VS Code on all your computers, regardless of the operating system they run.

Visual Studio Code is a versatile and feature-rich code editor that empowers developers with a wide range
of tools and capabilities to enhance productivity and streamline development workflows.

Problem Definition

What is Problem Definition:

The problem definition phase of the development process for the portfolio site is the foundational step in
the System Development Life Cycle. In this phase, we focus on identifying the key issues and
requirements for creating an effective portfolio website. The goal of this phase is to capture the specifics
of each requirement and ensure a shared understanding of the project's scope and how each requirement
will be addressed.

A problem statement for the portfolio site is a succinct description of the challenges to be tackled and the
improvements to be made. It establishes the gap between the current state of not having a portfolio site
and the desired state of having a fully functional and impactful online portfolio. To begin addressing this
problem, we need a well-defined problem statement.

The scope of the portfolio site project must be clearly outlined, specifying what features and
functionalities will be included and what will be excluded. By defining the scope, we can effectively
manage expectations and prevent scope creep during development, ensuring that the project remains
focused and achievable.

Conducting a feasibility study is an essential part of this phase. It involves assessing whether the proposed
portfolio site is technically, economically, and operationally viable. This evaluation includes
considerations of technical complexity, cost, required resources, and potential project risks.

The findings from the requirement gathering, analysis, and feasibility study are documented in a
comprehensive requirements document or software specification. This document serves as a blueprint for
the development team and all stakeholders involved throughout the Software Development Life Cycle.

Thoroughly defining the problem for the portfolio site at this early stage empowers the development team
to initiate the project with a clear sense of direction and a shared vision of the expected outcomes. This
approach minimizes misunderstandings, reduces the likelihood of costly rework, and ensures that the final
portfolio website aligns seamlessly with the needs and expectations of both clients and end-users.

FRONT END DEVELOPMENT

 Chandigarh Engineering College
Landran, Mohali-140307
Department of Electronics & Communication
Front-end development refers to the process of creating the user-facing side of a web application or
website. The goal of front-end development is to create an intuitive and visually appealing user interface
that provides a seamless user experience.

Front-end development involves several technologies, including HTML (Hypertext Markup Language),
CSS (Cascading Style Sheets), and JavaScript. HTML is used to structure the content of a web page,
while CSS is used to define the appearance and layout of the content. JavaScript is used to create
interactive elements and functionality, such as animations, forms, and user input validation.

Front-end developers use various tools and frameworks to simplify the development process, improve
code quality, and enhance productivity. Popular front-end frameworks include React, Angular, Vue.js,
and Bootstrap, among others. These frameworks provide pre-built components and libraries that can be
used to create responsive, mobile-friendly web applications with less coding effort.

Front-end developers also use various tools for debugging, testing, and optimizing their code. These
include web development tools such as Chrome Dev Tools and Visual Studio Code, as well as testing
frameworks like Jest and Cypress.

Overall, front-end development is a crucial aspect of web development, as it determines the visual and
interactive aspects of a web application. A well-designed and responsive front-end can significantly
enhance the user experience, while a poorly designed one can result in user frustration and abandonment
of the website or application.

Front-end web development, also known as client-side development is the practice of producing HTML,
CSS and JavaScript for a website or Web Application so that a user can see and interact with them
directly. The objective of designing a site is to ensure that when the users open up the site they see the
information in a format that is easy to read and relevant. Everything you see on a website, like buttons,
links, animations, and more, were created by a front end web developer. It is the front end developer's job
to take the vision and design concept from the client and implement it through code. Everything on the
page from the logo to the search bar, buttons, overall layout and how the user interacts with the page was
created by a front end developer. Front end developers are in charge of the look and feel of the website.
