INTRODUCTION

GENERAL

CLIENT-SERVER

HTTP is a "language" spoken between clients and servers
HTTP client makes HTTP requests
HTTP server accepts HTTP requests, and sends the client an HTTP response

WHAT IS HTTP?

GET - I want a resource
POST - I want to send you data
PUT - I want to change a resource
DELETE - I want to delete a resource
HEAD - I just want the response headers
OPTIONS - What methods can I use?

A client uses one of the methods to send HTTP requests to the server:

HTTP METHODS

the default port to make HTTP requests is 80

The HTTP Request Response cycle starts with the HTTP Request

An HTTP Request is a client connecting to a host (server that is listening for incoming messages) and sending a Request Message

HTTP REQUESTS

Uniform Resource Identifier

URI is how a server identifies a resource to be delivered to the client

Examples

/index.html
/map/21.3088569,-157.8084575

URI

Uniform Resource Locator

A URL is a URI that also specifies how to get that resource (what protocol to use)

Examples

https://www.google.com
http://www.devleague.com/apply

https://www.google.com

http://www.devleague.com:80/apply

http://162.243.46.54:80/parting-thoughts-from-a-student/

Protocol

Host address

port

path

URL

An HTTP Response is the server replying to the client's original HTTP Request with a message and the requested resource

HTTP RESPONSE

HyperText Markup Language

HTML

Markup language
Defines content for the browser to display
Separates "content" and "presentation"
Pre-defined set of elements (tags)

WHAT IS HTML?

HISTORY

In the late 1980s, Tim Berners-Lee was working as a physicist at CERN (the European Organization for Nuclear Research). He devised a way for scientists to share documents over the internet.

DOCTYPE: HTML 5

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>

  <head>
    <title>My first page</title>
  </head>
  
  <body>
    <p>Hello <b>world!</b></p>
  </body>

</html>

Text containing markup tags
Markup tags tell the browser how to display the page

HTML STRUCTURE

All HTML documents must start with the type declaration of HTML: <!doctype HTML>
The HTML document itself begins with <html> and ends with </html>
The visible part of the HTML document is between <body> & </body>
The information about the page like title of the page, scripts, styles and meta data is between <head> & </head>

<!doctype html>
<html>
<head>
    <title>My First Webpage</title>
</head>
<body>
    <h1>Heading</h1>
    <p>This is a paragraph</p>        
</body>
</html>

BASIC HTML

According to the HTML standard, only a few tags are legal inside the head section

<head>

Defines information about the document

<title>

<link>

<meta>

<!DOCTYPE>

Defines the document type. This tag goes before the <html> start tag.

Defines a resource reference

Defines meta information

Defines the document title

HTML HEAD

HTML attaches special meaning to anything that starts with the less-than sign ("<") and ends with the greater-than sign (">"). Such markup is called a tag.

Make sure to close the tag, as some tags are closed by default, whereas others might produce unexpected errors if you forget the end tag.
Proper nesting is one rule that must be obeyed in order to write valid code.

Tags gotchas

Correct

Wrong

<p>This <b>is</p> incorrect</b>

<p>This <b>is</b> correct</p>

ATTRIBUTES

HTML has a mechanism for embedding comments that are not displayed when the page is rendered in a browser .

This is useful for explaining a section of markup, or leaving notes for other people who might work on the page, or for leaving reminders for yourself.

HTML comments are enclosed in symbols as follows:

<!doctype html>
<html>
<head>
    <title>My First Webpage</title>
</head>
<body>
    <!-- The page content -->
    <h1>Heading</h1>
    <p>This is a paragraph</p>        
</body>
</html>

COMMENTS

HTML consists of a set of elements
Elements define the semantic meaning of their content
Include everything between two matching element tags , including the tags themselves

Some elements have very precise meaning, as in "this is an image", or "this is a heading". Others are less specific, such as "this is a section on the page" or "this is part of the text."

<html>
  <body>
    <p>You are in your beginning stage of</p>
    <p>HTML</p>
  </body>
</html>

This structure is often thought of as a tree with branches (in this case, the <body> and <p> elements) growing from the trunk (<html>). This hierarchical structure is called the DOM : the Document Object Model

ELEMENTS

Nesting is the act of placing an HTML element inside another HTML element. You can nest tags infinitely -- as your project requires it.
In this example, <p> tags were inside our <body> tag. Our <body> tag was also inside our <html> tag. Accordingly, this will be how the resulting web page is structured.

<html>
  <body>
    <p>You are in your beginning stage of</p>
    <p>HTML</p>
  </body>
</html>

NESTING

Unknown element tags are ignored
Unknown attributes are ignored
Unknown values are ignored
Browser tries to close tags itself if they are not closed

HTML IS FORGIVING

Cascading Style Sheets

CSS

Is a style sheet language used for describing the look and formatting of a document written in a markup language.

CSS is designed primarily to enable the separation of document content from document presentation, including elements such as the layout, colors, and fonts

WHAT IS CSS?

body {
    background: red;
    color: blue;
    font-size: 12px;
}

Unfortunately, the CSS language is considerably different from the HTML language.

However, like HTML, it is very easy to understand and write.

SIMPLE CSS

CSS has a very straightforward syntax.

Your CSS is divided into rules. Each rule has two parts: a selector and one or more declarations (each of which has a property and a value).

SYNTAX

The selector does exactly what it sounds like: it selects certain parts of your HTML document. There're a few ways for you to do this. The simplest is to simply u se a tag name

This'll select all the <h1> tags in your document:

h1 { 
    *put your declarations here*
}

SELECTOR

Once you've selected a set of elements, use declarations to change their visual properties.
Declarations come after a selector, and are enclosed in curly-brackets {like these}
Don't forget that semi-colon! It'll lead to big problems later on!

Format

Each declaration has the format:

property: value;

DECLARATION

Each (valid) declaration block is preceded by a selector which is a condition selecting some elements of the page.
The pair selector-declarations block is called a ruleset, or often simply a rule.

RULESET

Another common task is changing the appearance of your text. Once again, CSS has plenty of ways to do this

To change text size, use "font-size":

To change font, use the "font-family" property:

To change alignment, use "text-align":

h1 {
    font-family: "Times New Roman";
}

h1 {
    font-size: 22pt;
}

h1 {
    text-align: center;
}

FONT

ANOTHER COMMON TASK IS CHANGING THE Color OF a TEXT or background

To change text color, use "color":

h1 {
    color: blue;
}

To change background color, use "background-color":

body {
    background-color: grey;
}

COLOR

There are 3 ways to apply CSS to HTML page:

Inline
Internal
External

WAYS TO APPLY CSS

Added directly to element in thestyle attribute
Only stylesthe element on current page
Not reusable
Avoid whenever it is possible

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
    <title>Inline</title>
  </head>
  <body>
    <p style="color: red;">Supporting paragraph. Very informative.</p>
  </body>
</html>

INLINE STYLES

Added to <head> between <style> tags
Only styles elements on current page
Avoid whenever it is possible

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
    <title>Internal</title>
    <style>
      h1 {
          font-size:50px;
          text-align: center;
        }
    </style>
  </head>
  <body>
    <h1>This is my huge headline</h1>
    <p>Supporting paragraph. Very informative.</p>
  </body>
</html>

INTERNAL STYLESHEETS

Completely separate file, linked in <head>
The file has extension ".css"
Reusable styles contained in 1 document
Best practice - use this one!

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
    <title>External</title>
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="mystyles.css">
  </head>
  <body>
    <p>This is my snazzy red paragraph!</p>
  </body>
</html>

HTML FIle

mystyles.css

body {
  width: 1000px;
  margin: auto;
}

p {
  color: red;
  text-align: center;
}

EXTERNAL STYLESHEETS

CSS

HTML

body {
    background-color: green;
    text-align: center;
    font-family: "Arial";
}

p {
    color: yellow;
    font-size: 14px;
}

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>

  <head>
    <title>My first page</title>
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="styles.css">
  </head>
  
  <body>
    <p>Hello world!</p>
  </body>

JAVASCRIPT

JavaScript is a Scripting Language
A scripting language is a lightweight programming language.
JavaScript is programming code that can be inserted into HTML pages.
JavaScript inserted into HTML pages, can be executed by all modern web browsers.

WHAT IS JAVASCRIPT?

Created by Brendan Eich for Netscape Navigator in only ten days!
Mocha ⇒ LiveScript ⇒ JavaScript ⇒ ECMAScript
Influenced by:
- C/Java ⇒ Syntax
- Scheme ⇒ Functional Programming
- Self ⇒ Prototype inheritance
Adopted by Microsoft with the name JS for IE 3.0 ...
- First browser wars!
Standarized by ECMA International.

HISTORY: 1995 -1997

W3C: DOM Level 1 and DOM Level 2
Microsoft created XMLHttpRequest
Microsoft won the war with IE 6

HISTORY: 1998 - 2002

Mozilla Firefox was born
AJAX acronym is coined
Google becomes more than just a search engine: GMail, Maps...
First JavaScript libraries: Prototype, Scriptaculous, etc
JQuery: now DOM is easy

HISTORY: 2003 - 2008

Google Chrome was born
ECMAScript 5 was approved
It began the era of mobile applications (SPA, mobile first)
HTML5 & CSS3
MV* frameworks move to the client: Angular, Backbone, etc.
Server side JavaScript: Node.js
JavaScript grows up

HISTORY: 2009 - NOW

The name suggests that it should be similar to Java, but it is a different beast
The language was created too quickly and has errors that many programmers do not care to avoid
Still exists the idea that serious programming is done on the server and many programmers do not bother to learn JavaScript seriously

It supports multiple paradigms: imperative or functional
It is very flexible and expressive
There have been significant improvements in performance
The language is improving with the latest versions
Whenever there are better books, tools, libraries, etc

JavaScript is a misunderstood language

But in JavaScript there are great ideas too

WHY JAVASCRIPT?

It is easy to learn
It is easy to write, execute, test and debug
It is the most widely used language
On the client has beaten all its rivals:
- VBScript
- ActionScript (Flash)
- Applets (Java)
On the server is becoming a major player (Node.js)
Web applications can be built using only JavaScript:
- Front-end development
- Back-end development
- Server services (Web servers, message queuing services, authentication services, etc)
- JSON for client-server communication
- Even database structures (BSON) and query language (MongoDB, CouchDB)
Isomorphic JavaScript: The Future of Web Apps?

WHY JAVASCRIPT?

Respond to the users actions (click, hover over etc.)
Change HTML&CSS properties of elements on the page
Sophisticated animations
Dynamically get new data from the server without reloading the entire page (AJAX)

WHAT CAN I DO WITH JS?

HELLO WORLD!

JavaScript is case sensitive
Spaces do not matter
Statements end with semi-columns (;)
No strict data types

BASICS

Commentaries are not for the computer but for the humans. It helps them to understand the code

Block (multiline)

code goes here  /*  comment goes here,  
                    and here
                */

Single-line comments

code goes here //comment goes here

/*
    My first program:
    Hello World!
*/
var a = "Hello World!"; //Declare new variable with initial value
alert(a); //Show message window with the content of the "a" variable

Example

COMMENTS

Variables contain values and use the equal sign to specify their value
Variables are created by declaration using the var command with or without an initial value state
No need to specify a type

Declare variable without initial value:

var a;
var oneMore;
var anotherVar;
var awesomeVariable;

Declare variable with initial value:

var b = 10;
var name = "Leonardo";
var price = 10.4;

VARIABLE DECLARATION

To set new value to a variable you are to use the equal sign "="
New data overwrites the previous one
No strict data type. It means that you can set any value with any type to a variable

//Declaration of a new variable with initial value below
var greeting = "Say hello to the new world of programming!" 

var a;
a = 10; //You can set the value after the variable declaration

var name = "Raphael";
name = "Donatello"; //It will overwrites the content of the "name" variable

var age = 10;
age = "Teenager"; //No type checking

SETTING VALUE TO A VARIABLE

Operator	Description	Example
+	Addition	var x = 10 + 2;
-	Subtraction	var x = 5 - 3;
*	Multiplication	var x = 2 * 2;
/	Division	var x = 20 / 5;
%	Modulus	var x = 10 % 4;
++	Increment	x++;
--	Decrement	x--;

var a = 10; 
a++; 
var b = a * 2;
b = b - 1;
b--;
var c = b / 2;
c = c - a;
var x = b & 8;

//a == 10;
//a == 11;
//b == 22; a == 11;
//b == 21;
//b == 20;
//c == 10;
//c == -1;
//x = 4;

PAGE LOADING

The browser sends a request to the server.
The server starts sending to the browser the html-code of the page. The specifics of the data on the Internet is that the code for the browser receives the page not once, but piecemeal.
To save time, the browser starts processing of html-code of the page, without waiting for the end of the document
Once the browser encounters an external resource, it sends to the server a request for the resource. At the same time, in most cases, if the resource is javascript file then the browser stops loading the page and starts executing javascript-code of this file.
Once the browser receives and processes html-code of the page, the browser is event DOMContentLoaded, also known as the DOM Ready.
Once the last external resource is loaded, the browser triggers the event window.onload. Page is fully loaded.

VERSION CONTROL

WHAT IS VERSION CONTROL?

Version control is a system that records changes to a file or set of files over time so that you can recall specific versions later.

GIT

Git is a free and open source version control system designed to handle everything from small to very large projects with speed and efficiency.

GIT TREE

A branch represents an independent line of development. You can think of them as a way to request a brand new working directory, staging area, and project history.

A commit is a snapshot of your current changes to the project history.

GIT REPOSITORIES

A local repository is a repository on your local machine. It keeps your local working copy.

A remote repository contains versions of your project that are hosted on the Internet or network somewhere.

GIT CLONE

To clone a remote repository into a newly created directory use clone command:

git clone

GIT ADD

The "index" holds a snapshot of the content of the working tree. It is used for tracking your files.

It is a multipurpose command – you use it to begin tracking new files, to stage files, and to do other things like marking merge-conflicted files as resolved.

git add

To start tracking files use add command:

GIT PULL & PUSH

To upload changes from a remote branch you should use pull command:

To apply changes to a remote branch you should use push command:

git push

git pull

GIT WORKFLOW

HTML is for data structure
CSS is about how this data looks
JS is about this data manipulation and user interaction
