Lesson 6: jQuery

What is jQuery?

• A JavaScript library that makes HTML DOM manipulation, event handling, CSS animation,
and Ajax easier.

• Encourages separating JavaScript from HTML for better code organization.

• Handles cross-browser issues and allows use of plugins.

Key Benefits:

• Simple & Intuitive: Easy to learn and write, shortens code.

• Cross-Browser Compatible: Works well across browsers.

• Fast Development: Many built-in functions for animation, Ajax, etc.

• Readable & Reusable Code

• Large Community: Many plugins and lots of support/documentation.

• Ajax Support: Enables web pages to update without reloading.

How to Use jQuery:

• Local Installation: Download and link the jQuery file in your HTML.

• CDN Installation: Link to jQuery via services like Google CDN.

jQuery Syntax:

• Basic: $(selector).action()

o $ – Access jQuery

o (selector) – Selects element(s)

o .action() – Action to perform (e.g., hide, show)

• Examples:

o $(this).hide() – Hides the current element.

o $("p").hide() – Hides all <p> elements.

o $(".test").hide() – Hides elements with class test.

o $("#test").hide() – Hides the element with id test.

Document Ready:

• Use $(document).ready(function(){ ... }); to make sure code runs after the DOM is loaded.
jQuery Selectors:

• Element Selector: $("p")

• ID Selector: $("#id")

• Class Selector: $(".class")

Event Methods:

• .click(), .dblclick(), .mouseenter(), .mouseleave(), .hover(), .focus(), .on()

• Example: $("p").click(function(){ $(this).hide(); });

Effects:

• Show/Hide: $(selector).show(), $(selector).hide()

• Fade: .fadeIn(), .fadeOut(), .fadeToggle(), .fadeTo()

• Animation: .animate({params}, speed, callback)

DOM Manipulation:

• Get/Set Content: .text(), .html(), .val()

• Get/Set Attributes: .attr()

jQuery and Ajax:

• What is AJAX? Loads data from a server without refreshing the page.

• Main Methods:

o .load(url, data, callback)

o $.get(url, data, callback)

o $.post(url, data, callback)

o $.ajax({ ... })

• Data Formats: Can use JSON, XML, text, etc.

Lesson: API (Application Programming Interface)

What is an API?

• A software interface that allows different applications or software systems to


communicate and share data or functionalities.

• Think of it as a "middleman" between two applications.


Key Features:

• Enables software integration and automation.

• Promotes data monetization and collaboration.

Types of APIs:

1. Open APIs (Public)

o Accessible by anyone; e.g., REST Countries, OpenWeatherMap, News API.

2. Internal APIs (Private)

o Used only within an organization.

3. Composite APIs

o Combine multiple APIs in one call for efficiency.

o Example: Salesforce Composite API, Facebook Graph API batch requests.

4. Partner APIs

o Access controlled via licenses/rights. E.g., Amazon API for business partners.

Real-World Applications:

• Weather Data: Apps/websites using weather APIs from NASA, ISRO, etc.

• Login: "Sign in with Google/Facebook" uses API authentication.

• Entertainment: Embedding YouTube videos via API.

• E-commerce: Payment integrations (UPI, PayPal, etc.) through APIs.

• Gaming: In-game social sharing, multiplayer, in-app purchases—all via APIs.

Lesson 7: Frameworks

What is a Framework?

• A pre-designed set of tools, libraries, and best practices to help you efficiently build and
maintain web applications.

• Provides structure, code reuse, and standardization.


Why use a Framework?

• Boosts Productivity: Lots of built-in components.

• Encourages Best Practices

• Reduces Code & Errors

• Easier Debugging & Maintenance

Front-End Frameworks

• Used for building the user interface.

• Combine HTML, CSS, JS components.

• Advantages: Faster development, consistent design, easier maintenance.

Popular Front-End Frameworks:

• Bootstrap: Responsive, mobile-first. getbootstrap.com

• Foundation: Flexible, customizable. get.foundation

• Metro UI: Metro design. metroui.org.ua

• Tailwind CSS: Utility-first, rapid styling. tailwindcss.com

• Onsen UI: Mobile hybrid apps. onsen.io

• Ionic: Cross-platform apps. ionicframework.com

Back-End Frameworks

• Used for server-side logic (database, authentication, API, etc.).

• Popular Back-End Frameworks:

o Django (Python): Robust, scalable, easy admin.

o Express.js (Node.js): Fast, minimal.

o Laravel (PHP): Elegant, MVC, lots of tools.
