Abstract
Web development is the work involved in developing a website for the Internet (World Wide
Web) or an internet (a private network). Web development can range from developing a simple
single static page of plain text to complex web applications, electronic businesses, and social
network services. A more comprehensive list of tasks to which Web development commonly
refers, may include Web engineering, Web design, Web content development, client liaison,
client-side/server-side scripting, Web server and network security configuration, and e-
commerce development.
Among Web professionals, "Web development" usually refers to the main non-design aspects
of building Web sites: writing markup and coding. Web development may use content
management systems (CMS) to make content changes easier and available with basic technical
skills.
For larger organizations and businesses, Web development teams can consist of hundreds of
people (Web developers) and follow standard methods like Agile methodologies while
developing Web sites. Smaller organizations may only require a single permanent or contracting
developer, or secondary assignment to related job positions such as a graphic designer or
information systems technician. Web development may be a collaborative effort between
departments rather than the domain of a designated department. There are three kinds of Web
developer specialization: front-end developer, back-end developer, and full-stack developer.
Front-end developers are responsible for behaviour and visuals that run in the user browser,
while back-end developers deal with the servers. Since the commercialization of the Web with
Tim Berners-Lee developing the World Wide Web at CERN, the industry has boomed and has
become one of the most used technologies ever.

CHAPTER 1
Introduction
1.1 Introduction
Web development is the art and science of creating and maintaining websites and web applications
that are accessible, functional, and visually appealing. It encompasses a wide range of skills and
technologies, including front-end development, which focuses on the user interface and user
experience, and back-end development, which involves server-side logic, databases, and server
management. Web developers use programming languages like HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and various
back-end languages such as Python, Ruby, or PHP to build websites and web applications. With the
continuous growth of the internet and the increasing reliance on digital platforms for various aspects
of life, web development plays a crucial role in shaping our online experiences and connecting
businesses and individuals worldwide. It's a dynamic and ever-evolving field that offers endless
opportunities for innovation and creativity.
Django is a high-level Python web framework known for its efficiency, simplicity, and robustness in
building web applications. It follows the "batteries-included" philosophy, providing a wide range of
built-in features for common web development tasks, such as URL routing, authentication, database
management (using Django's Object-Relational Mapping), and a templating engine for creating
dynamic web pages. Django also encourages clean and maintainable code through its Model-View-
Controller (MVC) architectural pattern, referred to as Model-View-Template (MVT) in Django's
context. This framework is widely used by developers due to its scalability, security features, and a
thriving community that supports and extends its capabilities through a multitude of third-party
packages. Django simplifies web development, allowing developers to focus on building feature- rich
web applications with less effort.
In this report I am presenting what I have learned during this training and the project I made with
the learning. The project I made is from learning is “Library management system ”. This project has
many features like :
not only aligns with my career aspirations but also equips me with the skills needed to excel in this
dynamic and ever-evolving field of technology.

Hypertext Markup Language (HTML)
3.1 Introduction
In the digital age, the World Wide Web has become an integral part of our lives. The ability to create
web content is a fundamental skill for professionals in various fields. This chapter delves into
Hypertext Markup Language (HTML), the backbone of web development. HTML is the standard
markup language used to structure content on the web, making it accessible and visually appealing.
Understanding HTML is crucial for anyone seeking to participate in the creation of web content or
applications.
HTML stands for Hypertext Markup Language. It is a markup language used to create the structure
and layout of web documents, often referred to as web pages. HTML documents are composed of
elements, each with its own purpose and meaning, which are enclosed within tags. These elements
define the content, headings, paragraphs, links, images, and more on a web page.
- Headings: "<h1>", "<h2>", "<h3>", "<h4>", "<h5>", "<h6>" for creating headings of varying
levels.
- Lists: "<ul>" for unordered (bullet) lists and "<ol>" for ordered (numbered) lists.
16
Third Year Industrial Training Seminar Report, Academic Year 2024-25(Odd), PCE, Jaipur
3.2.4 Attributes
HTML elements often have attributes that provide additional information or configuration. Attributes
are defined within the opening tag of an element. For example, the "href" attribute in the "<a>"
element specifies the link's destination.
Semantic HTML is a way of writing HTML that focuses on the meaning of the content rather than its
presentation. It helps search engines and assistive technologies understand the structure of apage,
making it more accessible to all users.
HTML5 introduced several new features and elements, including "<video>", "<audio>", "<canvas>",
and improved form elements. These additions enhance the capabilities of web applications, enabling
multimedia content and interactivity without relying on plugins.
3.5 Conclusion
HTML is the foundation upon which the web is built. As a fundamental skill in web development,
understanding HTML is crucial for creating web content and applications. In the next chapter, we
will explore how Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) can be used to style and design HTML elements,
enhancing the visual appeal of web pages.
17
Third Year Industrial Training Seminar Report, Academic Year 2024-25(Odd), PCE, Jaipur
Chapter-4
Cascading Style Sheets (CSS)
4.1 Introduction to CSS
Before delving into the details of CSS, it's essential to understand why it's so important in web
development. CSS offers several advantages:
1. Separation of Concerns: CSS allows for a clear separation of content (HTML), presentation
(CSS), and behaviour (JavaScript). This separation simplifies maintenance and makes it easier to
update or modify a website's appearance without altering its underlying content or functionality.
2. Consistency: CSS ensures consistency in design across a website. By defining styles in one central
location, you can apply them consistently to multiple pages, promoting a cohesive user experience.
3. Flexibility: CSS provides developers with granular control over design elements, enabling them
to create responsive, adaptable layouts for various screen sizes and devices.
4. Efficiency: By using CSS, developers can write reusable styles, reducing redundancy and
improving code efficiency. This helps decrease page load times and improve website performance.
CSS operates on the principle of selecting HTML elements and applying styles to them. Thisprocess
involves three key components:
1. Selectors: Selectors are patterns used to target HTML elements. They can target specific elements,
classes, IDs, or even elements with certain attributes. For example, "h1" selects all"<h1>"
elements, while ".header" selects all elements with the class "header."
2. Properties: Properties define the visual aspects of selected elements. Properties include attributes
like color, font-size, margin, padding, and many others. For instance, "color: blue;" sets the text color
to blue.
3. Values: Values specify the settings for properties. In the example above, "blue" is the value
assigned to the "color" property. Different properties accept different types of values, such as colors,
lengths, or keywords.
18
Third Year Industrial Training Seminar Report, Academic Year 2024-25(Odd), PCE, Jaipur
CSS rules consist of a selector, a set of properties, and their corresponding values, enclosed in curly
braces "{}". Here's a basic example:
For instance, to set the text color of all "<h1>" elements to red, you would use the following CSS
rule:
FIGURE :
4.2(CSS
EXAMPLE)
1. Inline: You can include CSS directly within HTML elements using the "style" attribute. While
this approach is straightforward, it's not recommended for larger projects due to maintainability
issues.
2. Internal: You can embed CSS within an HTML document's "<style>" element, typically placed
within the document's "<head>" section. This approach offers better separation of concerns but may
still pose maintenance challenges for larger projects.
19
Third Year Industrial Training Seminar Report, Academic Year 2024-25(Odd), PCE, Jaipur
3. External: For larger and more maintainable projects, it's common to store CSS in separate external
files with a ".css" extension. You link these external CSS files to your HTML documents using the
"<link>" element in the document's "<head>" section.
The "<link>" element's "href" attribute specifies the path to the external CSS file, and the "rel"
attribute indicates that it's a stylesheet.
Understanding the CSS box model is essential for creating responsive and visually appealing web
layouts. The box model defines how HTML elements are rendered on a web page, including their
dimensions, spacing, and borders.
1. Content: The content of an HTML element, such as text, images, or other elements, is surrounded
by the content box.
2. Padding: Padding is the space between the content box and the element's border. It provides
internal spacing within the element. Padding can be adjusted using the "padding" property.
3. Border: The border surrounds the padding and content of an element. It defines a visible boundary
around the element. You can set the border's width, style, and color using the "border" property.
4. Margin: The margin is the space outside the element's border. It creates spacing between the
element and adjacent elements on the page. Margin can be adjusted using the "margin" property.
20
Third Year Industrial Training Seminar Report, Academic Year 2024-25(Odd), PCE, Jaipur
- Content: The "<div>" has a width of 200px and a height of 100px, defining the dimensions of the
content box.
- Padding: We've added 20px of padding to all sides of the content box, creating internal spacing
between the content and the border.
- Margin: A 10px margin provides spacing between the "<div>" and adjacent elements on the page.
As a result, the total dimensions of the element, including content, padding, border, and margin, are
220px (width) by 140px (height).
21
Third Year Industrial Training Seminar Report, Academic Year 2024-25(Odd), PCE, Jaipur
To control how an element's dimensions are calculated, you can use the "box-sizing" property. The
two common values for "box-sizing" are:
- Content-Box (Default): This value calculates the element's dimensions based on the content's
width and height, excluding padding and border. It's the default behaviour.
- - Border-Box: This value calculates the element's dimensions based on the content, padding, and
border. It includes these values in the width and height calculations.
- The "border-box" value is particularly useful in responsive design because it ensures that
changing an element's padding or border won't affect its overall size.
Understanding the box model is crucial for creating effective layouts in CSS. When designing web
pages, you often need to control the spacing, dimensions, and alignment of elements. Here are some
common layout scenarios and how the box model comes into play:
1. Centring Elements: To centre an element both horizontally and vertically within its parent
container, you can use margins and the "text-align" property for inline elements. For block-level
elements, you can use the "margin: 0 auto;" shorthand.
2. Equal-Sized Columns: When designing a grid layout with equal-sized columns, you need to
account for the padding and border in the column width calculation. Using "box-sizing: border- box;"
simplifies this process.
3. Spacing Between Elements: To create consistent spacing between elements, you can adjust the
margins or padding. Consider using a combination of margins for spacing between elements and
padding for internal spacing.
4. Responsive Design: When building responsive websites, you can adjust padding, margin, and
border properties to adapt the layout to different screen sizes and devices.
22
Third Year Industrial Training Seminar Report, Academic Year 2024-25(Odd), PCE, Jaipur
While the box model is a powerful tool for controlling layout and spacing, it can also posechallenges,
especially when working with complex designs. Here are some common issues developers encounter:
1. Collapsing Margins: In certain situations, adjacent margins between elements can collapse,
resulting in unexpected spacing. Understanding margin collapsing and using techniques like clearing
floats can help mitigate this issue.
2. Overflow: When content, padding, or borders exceed an element's specified dimensions, overflow
issues can occur. You can control how overflow is handled using the "overflow" property.
3. Box Sizing Confusion: Misunderstanding or forgetting to set the "box-sizing" property can lead
to layout inconsistencies, especially in responsive designs.
4. Complex Layouts: As web layouts become more complex, managing the box model for multiple
elements and components can become challenging. It's essential to plan and structure your CSS
code effectively.
Creating flexible and responsive layouts is a crucial aspect of web development. CSS provides several
techniques and properties to achieve different types of layouts. In
this section, we'll explore some common CSS layout strategies and their practical applications.
The "display" property is a fundamental CSS property used to control how elements are rendered on
the page. It determines an element's box type and behaviour. Common "display" property values
include:
- "block": Block-level elements, such as "<div>", "<p>", and "<h1>", generate a block box. They
create a new line and extend horizontally to fill their containing element.
- "inline": Inline-level elements, like "<span>", "<a>", and "<strong>", generate an inline box. They
do not create new lines and only occupy the necessary width.
- "inline-block": Inline-block elements combine the characteristics of both block and inline elements.
They generate a block-level box while staying inline with other elements.
- "none": Elements with "display: none;" are completely hidden from the layout and do not take up
any space. This is often used for hiding and showing elements dynamically.
- "flex": The "flex" value is used with the CSS Flexbox layout model, which allows for flexible and
efficient layouts. It's suitable for arranging elements in rows or columns with variable sizing.
23
Third Year Industrial Training Seminar Report, Academic Year 2024-25(Odd), PCE, Jaipur
- "grid": The "grid" value is used with the CSS Grid layout model, providing a powerful way to create
grid-based layouts. It's ideal for complex, grid-like structures.
- "table": Elements with "display: table;", "display: table-row;", or "display: table-cell;" mimic the
behaviour of table elements, which can be useful for creating table-like structures.
The "float" property is used to make an element float to the left or right within its containing element.
It's often used for creating column-based layouts and for wrapping text around images or other floated
elements.
While "float" can be effective for certain layout scenarios, it has limitations and can lead to clearfix
issues when not used carefully. In modern web development, CSS Flexbox and CSS Grid are
preferred for creating complex layouts due to their greater flexibility and ease of use.
CSS Flexbox, short for "Flexible Box," is a layout model that simplifies the arrangement ofelements
in rows or columns. It provides excellent support for both one-dimensional and two- dimensional
layouts.
To create a flex container and use Flexbox, set the "display" property of the container to "flex". Here's
an example:
24
Third Year Industrial Training Seminar Report, Academic Year 2024-25(Odd), PCE, Jaipur
In this example, the ".flex-container" becomes a flex container, and its child elements become flex
items. The "justify-content" property is used to distribute the items evenly along the main axis,
creating space between them.
Flexbox offers various properties and features for controlling the layout, alignment, and order of
flex items. Some of the key properties include "flex-direction", "flex-wrap", "align-items", and
"order".
CSS Grid Layout is a two-dimensional layout system that allows you to create complex grid-based
layouts with rows and columns. It's ideal for creating responsive and grid-like structures, such as
product listings, calendars, and navigation menus.
To use CSS Grid, set the "display" property of the container to "grid", and define the grid structure
using properties like "grid-template-columns" and "grid-template-rows". Here's an example:
In this example, the ".grid-container" becomes a grid container, and its child elements become grid
items. The "grid-template-columns" property defines three equal-width columns, and the "grid-gap"
property specifies a 10px gap between grid items.
25
Third Year Industrial Training Seminar Report, Academic Year 2024-25(Odd), PCE, Jaipur
CSS Grid offers advanced features, including grid alignment, spanning, and responsive design
capabilities, making it a powerful tool for creating versatile layouts.
In modern web development, creating responsive layouts that adapt to different screen sizes and
devices is essential. CSS media queries allow you to apply specific styles based on the characteristics
of the user's device, such as screen width, height, and orientation.
Here's an example of a media query that changes the background color of a page when the screen
width is less than 600px:
Media queries can be used to adjust various layout properties, such as font size, column count, and
element visibility, to create responsive designs that provide an optimal user experience on both
desktop and mobile devices.

JavaScript
JavaScript is a dynamically typed language, which means you don't need to declare a variable's type
explicitly. Instead, JavaScript determines the type at runtime. There are several primitive data types
in JavaScript:
5.1.1 Numbers
Numbers in JavaScript can be integers or floating-point numbers. You can perform arithmetic
operations like addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.
5.1.2 Strings
Strings are sequences of characters enclosed in single or double quotes. You can concatenate strings
using the “+” operator.
5.1.3 Booleans
Booleans represent true or false values. They are often used for conditional statements and
comparisons.

Django
6.1 Introduction
Django is a high-level Python web framework that makes it easier to build web applications quickly
and efficiently. In this chapter, we'll cover the basics of setting up a Django project, creating a simple
web application, and understanding the core components of Django.
Before you can start working with Django, you need to install it. Django can be installed using pip,
the Python package manager. Open your terminal or command prompt and run the command : “pip
install django” .
Once Django is installed, you can verify the installation by running : “django-admin —version”
This should display the installed Django version.
A Django project is a collection of settings, configurations, and applications for a specific web
application. To create a new Django project, use the command: “django-admin startproject
projectname”
Replace `projectname` with the name you want to give to your project. This command will create a
directory with the same name as your project containing the necessary project files and directories.
- db.sqlite3: This is the default SQLite database created for your project.
32
Third Year Industrial Training Seminar Report, Academic Year 2024-25(Odd), PCE, Jaipur
To test your newly created project, navigate to the project directory in your terminal and run the
command: “python manage.py runserver”
This will start the development server, and you should see output indicating that the server is running.
By default, the development server runs on `http://127.0.0.1:8000/`.
Open a web browser and enter the URL `http://127.0.0.1:8000/` to see the default Django welcome
page.
In Django, applications are modular components that can be reused in different projects. To create a
new Django app, use the command: “python manage.py startapp appname”
Replace “appname” with the name of your app. This command will create a directory with the same
name as your app containing the necessary app files and directories.
In Django, models are used to define the structure of your database tables. Let's create a simple model
for a blog post. Open the `models.py` file in your app directory and define a `Post` model:
class Post(models.Model):
title = models.CharField(max_length=200)
content = models.TextField()
pub_date = models.DateTimeField('date published')
This model has three fields: `title`, `content`, and `pub_date`. `title` is a character field for the post
title, `content` is a text field for the post content, and `pub_date` is a date and time field for the
publication date.
33
Third Year Industrial Training Seminar Report, Academic Year 2024-25(Odd), PCE, Jaipur
To create the database table for the `Post` model, run the following command:
The `makemigrations` command generates a migration file based on the changes to the model, and
the `migrate` command applies the migrations to create the database table.
Now that you have defined a model, let's create views to display the blog posts and templates to render
them. Open the `views.py` file in your app directory and define a view function to display a list of
posts:
def post_list(request):
posts = Post.objects.all()
return render(request, 'appname/post_list.html', {'posts': posts})
In this view, we retrieve all the `Post` objects from the database and pass them to a template called
`post_list.html`.
Next, create the `post_list.html` template in your app's `templates` directory. Here's a simpleexample
of what the template might look like:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>Blog</title>
</head>
<body>
<h1>Blog</h1>
<ul>
{% for post in posts %}
<li>{{ post.title }}</li>
{% endfor %}
</ul>
</body>
</html>
This template iterates through the `posts` queryset and displays the titles of the blog posts in an
unordered list.
34
Third Year Industrial Training Seminar Report, Academic Year 2024-25(Odd), PCE, Jaipur
To make the `post_list` view accessible, you need to define a URL pattern for it. Open the `urls.py`
file in your app directory and add the following code:
urlpatterns = [
path('', views.post_list, name='post_list'),
]
This code creates a URL pattern that maps the root URL of your app to the ‘post_list’ view.
To make your app accessible within your project, you need to include it in the project's `urls.py`
file. Open the `urls.py` file in your project directory and add the following code:
urlpatterns = [
path('admin/', admin.site.urls),
path('appname/', include('appname.urls')),
]
Replace ‘appname’ with the name of your app. This code includes the app's URLs under the
‘appname/‘ path.
With everything set up, start the development server again: “python manage.py runserver”
