Websites are designed and developed with multiple stack of web technologies such as Internet website cookies, User Interface (UI), Page source, Meta tags, J-query, Hyperlinks, HTML, CSS, JavaScript, Python, and Ruby. In this blog post we will discuss briefly about the definitions of each web programming languages (Web Technologies).

Internet Website Cookies

Internet website cookies which is often referred as browser cookies is a text file which stores user information such as personalised web settings, user sessions, and other data of the user in the client side (local storage) and the user have full authority to delete or keep the cookie from their device (GDPR, 2020). In general cookies are used for session management, personalisation, and tracking by the websites and browsers which makes the daily life of a user conveniente (What is a cookie? How it works and ways to stay safe, 2023) .

User Interface (UI)

User Interface is everything that  the user sees on the screen of their devices, it is the  bridge between user and the program which runs on the background of computer (Indeed Editorial Team, 2022). User Interface includes buttons, input fields, image sliders, cards, pages, and other visual material components in the screen of devices while using applications and websites (Hannah, 2021).

Page Source

Page source which is also referred as "source" and "source document" is the source code of the website which is not visible to the normal users and it contains the HTML codes of the website (Definition of Page Source | PCMag, 2023). It is important area for developers and programmers as it contains the source code of the website which helps them to fix the issue related with SEO and the hidden links can be accessed from the page source (What is source code?, 2021). 

Meta Tags

Meta Tags are the metadata of website which contains information related with the web page description, character set, keywords, author of the page, and viewport settings which can be found inside the <head> section of the HTML document source (w3schools, 2023). Meta tags are important for the website as it is used to index the page on the internet (Plimmer, 2023).

J Query

jQuery is a popular JavaScript library that makes it easier to work with HTML documents, handle events, create animations, and develop AJAX applications (jQuery, 2023). It simplifies HTML document traversing, event handling, and animation, and is cross-browser compatible, making it a popular choice for web developers (jQuery, 2023).

Hyperlinks

A hyperlink, also known as a link, is a clickable element in an electronic document that allows the user to navigate to a different location, either within the same document or to a different one (Computer Hope, 2022). Hyperlinks can be embedded in text, images, or other media and are typically displayed in a different color and underlined to indicate that they are clickable (Computer Hope, 2022).

HTML

Hyper Text Markup Language (HTML) is regarded as the skeleton of the website which gives the structure to the web content (HTML: HyperText Markup Language | MDN, 2022). In order to show contents on the web HTML use markups to annotate texts, images, and other contents (HTML: HyperText Markup Language | MDN, 2022). 

CSS

Cascading Style Sheet (CSS) is the stylesheet language which is used by the web pages to decorate the structure of the HTML structure (CSS: Cascading style sheets | MDN, 2022). CSS declares the appearance of user interface of the web page by defining its style properties is ".css" files (CSS: Cascading style sheets | MDN, 2022).

JavaScript

JavaScript is the most popular scripting programming language for web pages which is lightweight and Just in Time (JIT) compiled programming language (JavaScript | MDN, 2022). Runtime object construction, variable parameters list, and dynamic script creation are some of the JavaScript dynamic features (JavaScript | MDN, 2022). 

Python

Python is a multipurpose and beginners friendly programming language which is created by Guido Van Rossum in 1991 and is used for web development (server side), artificial intelligence & machine learning, cyber security, mathematics, and software development (w3schools, 2023). 

Ruby

Ruby is an object oriented programming language created by Yukihiro Matsumoto by combining his other preferred programming languages such as Perl, Smalltalk, Eiffel, Ada, and Lisp concepts (Ruby, 2023). Everything in ruby programming is an object which means they have their own properties and methods (Ruby, 2023).

Researching SDLC (Methodology, Key stages, and Benifits)

Image
(Big Water Consulting, 2023) The Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) is a process used by software development organizations to develop and maintain high-quality software products (Pressman, 2014, and Sommerville, 2011). The SDLC methodology defines the steps involved in the development of software and provides a systematic approach to software development (Sommerville, 2011). The key stages of the SDLC methodology typically include: Requirements gathering and analysis : This stage involves gathering requirements from stakeholders, analyzing them, and defining the scope of the software development project (Pressman, 2014, Sommerville, 2011, and Royce, 1970). Design : This stage involves creating a detailed design of the software solution that meets the requirements defined in the previous stage (Pressman, 2014, Sommerville, 2011, and Royce, 1970). Implementation : This stage involves writing the code for the software solution (Pressman, 2014, Sommerville, 2011, and Royce, 1970). Tes...
