Quote of the Week

In [other languages], I could end up chasing silly bugs and waste time debugging and tracing to find that I made a typo or ran into a language quirk that gave me an unexpected nil pointer. That situation is almost non-existent in Rust, it's just me and the problem. Rust is honest and upfront about its quirks and will yell at you about it before you have a hard to find bug in production.

A file browser or file manager can be defined as the computer program which offers a user interface for managing folders and files. The main functions of any file manager can be defined as creation, opening, viewing, editing, playing or printing. It also includes the moving, copying, searching, deleting and modifications. The file managers can display the files and folders in various formats which include the hierarchical tree which is based upon directory structure. Some file managers also have forward and back navigational buttons which are based upon web browsers. Some files managers also offers network connectivity and are known as web-based file managers. The scripts of these web managers are written in various languages such as Perl, PHP, and AJAX etc. They also allow editing and managing the files and folders located in directories by using internet browsers. They also allow sharing files with other authorized devices as well as persons and serve as digital repository for various required documents, publishing layouts, digital media, and presentations. Web based file sharing can be defined as the practice of providing access to various types of digital media, documents, multimedia such as video, images and audio or eBooks to the authorized persons or to the targeted audience. It can be achieved with various methods such as utilization of removable media, use of file management tools, peer to peer networking. The best solution for this is to use file management software for the storage, transmission and dispersion which also includes the manual sharing of files with sharing links. There are many file sharing web file management software in the market which are popular with the people around the world. Some of them are as follows: Http Commander This software is a comprehensive application which is used for accessing files. The system requirements are Windows OS, ASP.NET (.NET Framework) 4.0 or 4.5 and Internet Information Services (IIS) 6/7/7.5/8. The advantages include a beautiful and convenient interface, multiview modes for file viewing, editing of text files, cloud services integration and document editing, WEBDAV support and zip file support. It also includes a user-friendly mobile interface, multilingual support, and easy admin panel. The additional features of the software include a mobile interface, high general functionality and a web admin. You can upload various types of files using different ways such as Java, Silverlight, HTML5, Flash and HTML4 with drag and drop support. CKFinder The interface of this web content manager is intuitive, easy to access and fast which requires a website configured for IIS or Internet Information Server. You would also require enabled Net Framework 2.0+ for installation. Some advantages include multi-language facility, preview of the image, and 2 files view modes. You also get search facility in the list as well drag and drop file function inside the software. The software has been programmed in Java Script API. Some disadvantages include difficulty in customizing the access of folders, inability to share files and finally, non integration of the software with any online service. You cannot edit the files with external editors or software. Also, there is no tool for configuration and you cannot drag and drop files during upload. Some helpful features include ease in downloading files using HTML4 and HTML5, also the documentation is available for installation and setup. File Uploads And Files Manager It provides a simple control and offers access to the files stored in servers. For installation, the user requires Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 and higher as well as Microsoft .NET Framework 4.0. Some advantages include a good interface where all icons are simple and in one style, 2 files view modes including detailed and thumbnails. It also supports basic file operations, supports themes, filters the file list as well as being integrated with cloud file storage services.

Some disadvantages include limited and basic operation with files, inability to work as a standalone application, settings are in code, and finally it cannot view files in a browser, weak general functionality, no mobile interface and no web admin. Some useful features include uploading multiple files at one go, multilingual support and availability of documentation. Easy File Management Web Server This file management software installs as a standalone application and there is no requirement for configuration. The software does not support AJAX. A drawback is that it looks like an outdated product and the interface is not convenient. The system requirement for this software is Windows OS. The advantages include having no requirement for IIS, uploading of HTML4 files one at a time, providing support notifications with email and can be easily installed and configured from the application. The disadvantages include the interface not being user-friendly, full page reload for any command, it cannot edit files and does not support Unicode characters. Moreover, it does not provide multilingual support for users and has a small quantity of functions when compared with others. ASP.NET File Manager This file manager at first glance, is not intuitive and is outdated. The system requirement for this manager is IIS5 or higher version and ASP.NET 2.0 or later version. Some advantages include editing ability of text files, users can do file management through browsers which is very simple, and it can provide support for old browsers. You can do basic operations with files stored and have easy functions. On the other hand, some disadvantages include the redundant interface, its need to reload full page for navigation. Additionally there is no integration with online services. The user cannot share files, cannot drag and drop files during uploading, gets only one folder for file storage and there's no tool for configuration. Moreover, there's no multilingual support, no mobile interface, low general functionality and no web admin. File Explorer Essential Objects This file manager offers limited functionality regarding files and is a component of Visual Studio. The system requirements include .Net Framework 2.0+ and a configured website in IIS. Some advantages include previewing of images, AJAX support with navigation, integration with Visual Studio and 2 file view modes. The disadvantages include no command for copy, move or rename file, no editing of files even with external editors and inability to share files with anyone. What's more, there's no support for drag and drop file for uploading, an outdated interface, no 'access rights' customization for various users, no web admin, no mobile interface and no multilingual support for users. FileVista This file management software offers a good impression at the outset but has limited functionalities. The system requirements include Microsoft .NET Framework 4 (Full Framework) or higher and enabled Windows Server with IIS. Some advantages include setting quotas for users, uploading files with drag n drop, Flash, HTML4, Silverlight and HTML5, multilingual support, presence of web admin, archives support, easy interface, fast loading and creation of public links. The disadvantages include disabled editing ability, no integration with document viewers or online services, no search function and no support of drag and drop for moving files. IZWebFileManager Even though the software is outdated and has not been updated,it's still functional. The interface of this software is similar to Windows XP. It has minimum functionality and no admin. It provides easy access to files but is suitable only for simple tasks. The advantages of this software include 3 file view modes, preview of images, facility to drag and drop files, various theme settings and a search feature. The disadvantages of this software include the old interface, no editing of files, no integration with online services, no sharing of files, and no drag and drop support for uploading files.

The user cannot set a permission command as well. Moxie Manager This file management software is modern and has a nice design. Also, it is integrated with cloud services which functions with images. The system requirements include IIS7 or higher and ASP.NET 4.5 or later versions. Some advantages include an attractive interface, ability to use all file operations, preview of text and image files. You can also edit text and image files, support Amazon S3 files and folders, support Google Drive and DropBox with download capability, support FTP and zip archives. On the other hand, some disadvantages include having no built-in user interface, no right settings for users, no support of drag and drop, no mobile interface and no web admin. Some features include multilingual format, available documentation, upload files with drag and drop support, average functionality.

Conversion Uses

In today’s complex digital world, there are many reasons why people would want to generate a PDF (portable document format) from an HTML file. One big reason is the portability of the PDF format compared to other document formats. 

Also, it is not as if there is no support in the simple endeavor converting a file in HTML into a completely different format such as the portable PDF document. It is not surprising that these days one can convert a format like HTML into a user-friendly format such as a PDF.   

Applications 

Unless you really want the conversion, the internet is now steeped with various applications. For instance, converting an HTML file into a PDF format using a web page, you can use several from the simple converters into those that can convert complex HTML file into PDF. 

One application, for instance, usually carry several functions on top of the main conversion task. It seemed apparent that these applications are competing with one another in offering many converter tools. 

Tools 

The tools carried by converters can easily convert HTML to PDF. The support carried by these applications is one long list that are very useful to the many who wants to convert their HTML files into PDF. 

The many representative support include HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript. The others include the APIs for JavaScript, Java, PHP, NET, Python, Perl, Node.js. SOAP, REST, and the Dockers image. 

Uses 

Some converters top the list as a perfect printing component for web applications which include Database Publishing, web-to-print, PIM, DMS, MDM, DAM, WCMS VDP and many others. 

This is typically used in the server-side conversion of HTML to PDF which include the dynamic data-driven documents (reports, data sheets, invoices, forms, etc) that are used for electronic distribution. 

They also include complex and high-quality PDFs (catalogs, technical documentations, journals, marketing collateral) used in print and electronic media. There are now several uses in these document conversions.

Key features

Users usually would want to make sure all the features of the original materials are transferred during the conversion process. 

Applications can convert your HTML5 to PDF documents without the additional pre-processing or clean-u. In addition, it also supports and the elements of HTML5. 

CSS3 / JavaScript 

Most apps have the cutting edge CSS3 like the calc, media queries, text-shadow, filter, transport, rotate, scale and producing the elements that converts HTML + CSAS to main page. 

Some of the apps have JavaScript driven layouts to PDF. It supports HTML Canvas, High Charts, MathJax and many others. 

Accessibility / printing 

Some apps support the creation of tagged PDF documents in line with the accessibility guidelines, and the Matterhorn protocol. They allow the easy creation of PDA/A (with several PDF versions named). The PDF /UA compliant files are used for long-term archiving of these electronic documents. 

In printing, there is also the provision of professional printing features like the PDF/X, the PDF/X-4p, the baseline grids and the spot colors. These apps deliver the support on printing to PDF with perfect typography.

What is dot net?

What is dot net?

Microsoft's. NET technology is the foundation upon which all subsequent Microsoft technologies will be built.

Microsoft introduced this significant technological shift in an effort to compete with Sun's Java for market share.

Previously, Microsoft only had VC++ and VB to compete with Java, but Java quickly gained market share.

With the world relying increasingly more upon the Web/Web and java related instruments turning into the most ideal decision for web applications, Microsoft appeared to be losing the fight.

From VC++ and VB, thousands of programmers switched to Java. Microsoft announced that it would restore the.market.NET.

In any case, Microsoft has a great history of beginning late yet making up for lost time rapidly. This holds true for .NET as well.

Microsoft put their best men at work for a mystery project called Cutting edge Windows Administrations (NGWS).,under Mr. Bill Gates's direct supervision.

The Microsoft .NET vision

The notion is that software will eventually be offered as a service over a global broadband network (Internet) that will connect all devices.

From the upcoming Windows operating system to development tools, the term ".NET" has been used.

Components of.NET The.NET architecture is built around two main parts:

CoreCLR: The. Here's the NET runtime. It is in charge of running CLI programs and includes a just-in-time compiler.

CoreFX: The CLI Standard Libraries, or the set of libraries that provide the most common functionalities like file system management, exception handling, network communication, threading, reflection, and so on, are implemented by the platform's API. The Unified Base Class Library is a name that is used to refer to the CoreFX component.

.NET Application Models

The various application model frameworks—that is, the libraries that provide support for the development of various types of applications—are located above the core components.

For instance, you have:

ASP.NET:the framework that enables the creation of web APIs and applications.

Windows Presentation Foundation, also known as WPF: is a graphical user interface for desktop applications running on Windows.

Xamarin: cross-platform application development framework for mobile, desktop, and television devices.

Blazor: The structure to construct client web applications by utilizing C#.Additionally, it lets you create client-side WebAssembly applications.

ML.NET:The framework for machine learning that makes it easier to incorporate machine learning models into your.NET application.

Support for.NET Design and Development

There are many programming languages that can be used with .NET support for software development.

While allowing you to construct your application in the manner that best suits you,.NET also encourages the application of certain best practices.

It encourages you, for instance, to use dependency injection to decouple the components of your application.

By limiting the interdependence between components and facilitating reuse, dependency injection helps you design better software.

Additionally, it makes component testing simpler. In addition, xUnit provides support for unit and integration tests when it comes to testing in. NET.

On the front end of the development experience, developers have a variety of options to choose from.

They can create new projects, add dependencies, build, run, and so on using the command line in the.NET CLI environment.

They can use Visual Studio Code as a halfway house: an advanced editor that works on all platforms and is based on the.NET CLI. Or, they can use a powerful IDE like Visual Studio, which offers an interactive programming experience and is available for both Windows and Mac.

No matter what device you pick, you can utilize many task formats to rapidly begin making your new application. You can likewise make your own .NET venture format.

Infrastructure as Code using AWS

Infrastructure as Code using AWS:- This is a process that describes and provisions all the infrastructure resources in a cloud environment using a simple text file. It is used to model and provision all the resources needed for your applications across all regions and accounts.

Background information on IaaC

A fundamental principle of DevOps is to treat infrastructure the same way developers treat code. Application code has a defined format and syntax. If the code is not written according to the rules of the programming language, applications cannot be created. Code is stored in a version management or source control system that logs a history of code development, changes, and bug fixes. When code is compiled or built into applications, we expect a consistent application to be created, and the build is repeatable and reliable.

Practicing infrastructure as code means applying the same rigor of application code development to infrastructure provisioning. All configurations should be defined in a declarative way and stored in a source control system such as AWS CodeCommit, the same as application code. Infrastructure provisioning, orchestration, and deployment should also support the use of the infrastructure as code.

Infrastructure was traditionally provisioned using a combination of scripts and manual processes. Sometimes these scripts were stored in version control systems or documented step by step in text files or run-books. Often the person writing the run books is not the same person executing these scripts or following through the run-books. If these scripts or runbooks are not updated frequently, they can potentially become a show-stopper in deployments. This results in the creation of new environments not always being repeatable, reliable, or consistent.

In contrast to the preceding, AWS provides a DevOps-focused way of creating and maintaining infrastructure. Similar to the way software developers write application code, AWS provides services that enable the creation, deployment and maintenance of infrastructure in a programmatic, descriptive, and declarative way. These services provide rigor, clarity, and reliability. The AWS services discussed in this paper are core to a DevOps methodology and form the underpinnings of numerous higher-level AWS DevOps principles and practices.

AWS offers following services to define Infrastructure as a code.

i. AWS CloudFormation

AWS CloudFormation is a service that enables developers create AWS resources in an orderly and predictable fashion. Resources are written in text files using JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) or Yet Another Markup Language (YAML) format. The templates require a specific syntax and structure that depends on the types of resources being created and managed. You author your resources in JSON or YAML with any code editor such as AWS Cloud9, check it into a version control system, and then CloudFormation builds the specified services in safe, repeatable manner.

A CloudFormation template is deployed into the AWS environment as a stack. You can manage stacks through the AWS Management Console, AWS Command Line Interface, or AWS CloudFormation APIs. If you need to make changes to the running resources in a stack you update the stack. Before making changes to your resources, you can generate a change set, which is a summary of your proposed changes. Change sets enable you to see how your changes might impact your running resources, especially for critical resources, before implementing them.

ii. AWS Cloud Development Kit (CDK)

The AWS Cloud Development Kit (CDK) is an open source software development framework to model and provision your cloud application resources using familiar programming languages. AWS CDK enables you to model application infrastructure using TypeScript, Python, Java, and .NET. Developers can leverage their existing Integrated Development Environment (IDE), leveraging tools like autocomplete and in-line documentation to accelerate development of infrastructure.

AWS CDK utilizes AWS CloudFormation in the background to provision resources in a safe, repeatable manner. Constructs are the basic building blocks of CDK code. A construct represents a cloud component and encapsulates everything AWS CloudFormation needs to create the component. The AWS CDK includes the AWS Construct Library containing constructs representing many AWS services. By combining constructs together, you can quickly and easily create complex architectures for deployment in AWS.

iii. AWS Cloud Development Kit for Kubernetes

AWS Cloud Development Kit for Kubernetes (cdk8s), is an open-source software development framework for defining Kubernetes applications using general-purpose programming languages.

Once you have defined your application in a programming language (As of date of publication only Python and TypeScript are supported) cdk8s will convert your application description in to pre-Kubernetes YML. This YML file can then be consumed by any Kubernetes cluster running anywhere. Because the structure is defined in a programming language you can use the rich features provided by the programming language. You can use the abstraction feature of the programming language to create your own boiler-plate code and re-use it across all of the deployments.

Implementing infrastructure as code

The benefit of cloud and infrastructure as code is the ability to build and tear down entire environments programmatically and automatically. If architected with resiliency in mind, a recovery environment can be implemented in minutes using AWS CloudFormation templates or AWS Systems Manager automation. Automation is critical for maintaining high availability and fast recovery.

AWS offers a wide breadth of automation tools to accomplish resiliency objectives. AWS Systems Manager helps automate complete runbooks that are used during the recovery of an application during a disaster. You can sequence a complete set of operations to automatically execute on the detection of an event. With Systems Manager automation documents, you can manage these runbooks similar to the way you manage code. You can version them and update them along with every release. This helps keep your recovery plan in sync with released code and updates to infrastructure.

Intra Cloud DevOps using Azure Bot – Capstone Project

By Great Learning

Problem Statement

Organisations with multiple cloud platforms and On-premise environments have challenges in managing DevOps activities from a centralised application with an intuitive user interface. They had to rely on the admins of the respective environments to execute any manual build, deployment, or get status reports on DevOps activities.

Proposed Solution

The proposal is to build an Intra-cloud application which interacts with different cloud/on-premise environments which enables the development team to manage the DevOps activities. The solution will offer a cognitive Azure Bot application to:

1. Select the Build and Deployment Environment

Choose the environment for the manual build and deployment. The following environments are in scope:

Azure

AWS

On-premise

2. Build and Package the Application

List the applications which are available to build. Select the option and build the latest codebase for the selected option. Package using the build specification. Give the status as a response to the user.

3. Build and Deploy the Application

Build and deploy the latest code base for the given application. Provide the deployment details and status as response back to the user.

4. Analytics and Reporting

Reporting of the build and deployment statistics to the end-user. Available as a downloadable file.

This solution with Azure Chat-bot powered by Language understanding capability offered by LUIS would enable the users to take real-time and pre-emptive decisions to perform manual build and deployment DevOps activities in these environments.

Architecture :

The proposed template of the solution and the application architecture for the Chat bot application would look as shown in the below diagram.

The various components of the architecture in the diagram above have been explained briefly below:

Azure Platform

Azure DevOps :

Azure build Pipeline is setup in Azure DevOps. .Net and PHP applications are set up in the build and deployment pipeline.

Azure Functions :

Micro services are built using .Net Core Azure Function templates. To access the build, deployment and status reports.

Key Vaults :

This service stores secure data like Azure credentials and personal access tokens to call the pipeline rest API.

AWS Platform

Amazon API Gateway :

Secure Rest API created for AWS DevOps tasks are deployed in API Gateway. It acts as a single point of entry for the defined group of micro services.

AWS Elastic Beanstalk :

Elastic Beanstalk is used to deploy and manage web applications built on multiple technologies like Java and PHP. AWS Elastic Beanstalk is an orchestration service offered by Amazon Web Services for deploying applications which orchestrate various AWS services, including EC2, S3, Simple Notification Service, CloudWatch, autoscaling, and Elastic Load Balancers.

S3 Bucket :

Source provider for the build packages for the pipeline. After the generation of the build package, it is saved in the destination S3 bucket location.

AWS Lambda:

Microservices are built using AWS Lambda functions. .Net Core serverless applications are built using the AWS SDK. This service interfaces with AWS CodePipeline, Code Build, and Code Deploy API services.

IAM :

Policy to allow Lambda function to access CodePipeline API

Policy to allow Lambda function to access Code Build API

Policy to allow Lambda function to access S3 Bucket.

Cloud Watch :

This provides the log for monitoring serverless Lambda function executions we run on AWS.

On-Premise Platform

Jenkins build automation server is used for On-premise DevOps configuration. .Net Core web applications are set up in Jenkins using build job and pipelines. The API for continuous build and continuous pipeline deployment is exposed which is consumed by a Bot service.

In this environment source code is downloaded from GitHub. Applications source code is sourced from GitHub repositories.

UI Interface Azure Chat bot :

This chatbot is basically the UI interface that is capable of having human-like conversations powered by Language interpretations using LUIS. Each of the environments like AWS, Azure and On-prem have separate Dialogues which can be easily extended for adding new cloud platforms. Prompts for selection options and confirmation gives a real-time user interaction experience.  The sequence of questionnaires is implemented using the waterfall dialogue class and customised adaptive cards. All the microservices from the different environment are consumed using the rest API in the Bot application. No environment-specific credentials are configured in the Bot application source code to make it easily configure with rest API.  

Reports are generated and are downloaded in CSV format. The bot offers the build and deployment status reports which capture the status and details of the pipeline execution.

LUIS services provide the pre-defined intents while interpreting the chat messages for driving the user conversation with Bot.

Note: This project makes use of unauthenticated users in the Bot. The deployment is done in Teams or custom web application in the production environment.

Python Flask:

Additional Web UI interface is provided using Flask micro web framework. The rest API developed for the Azure Bot is reused in this Web UI. Users can perform the same operations provided from Bot in this Web UI.

Business and Technical Challenges:

Business challenges and Solutions:

Add reporting capability using data generated dynamically from build and release in different environment: Power BI reports replaced with CSV reports which are downloaded. Converted json data to CSV. No additional managed service cost for the reporting feature.

Cost of cloud resources should be minimal: Used serverless computing like lambda functions and azure functions instead of EC2. This will reduce computing costs.

Cost of setting up DevOps for on-premise applications: Used license-free Jenkins server for On-premise applications. DevOps setup completed without incurring any additional license fees.

Technical Challenges and Solutions:

As there are multiple environments involved, each cloud DevOps services developed with the microservice approach are built and deployed separately. Used AWS Lambda and Azure function to realise microservice architecture.

Maintainability of Bot for new platforms and clouds: used Waterfall dialogue and developed each environment actions using separate dialogue. With this design, it is easy to add/remove each environment cloud without much code changes.

Bot and service code maintainability:  Service implementation separated from the Bot core code structure. So, the changes in the service can be handled separately without impacting the Bot code.

Lightweight Service: Used rest API in .net Core platform.

Learning:

The following learning are made from this Capstone project:

Cost optimization using serverless computing like lambda and Azure functions.

Exposure to the setup DevOps pipeline in different cloud platforms and on-premise platforms.

Role of Micro service pattern in rest API service development.

Building secure cloud solutions using IAM, key vault, AWS API management etc.

What Language?

This section will focus on the basics of the three intertwined coding languages for website creation. Also this touches on the text editor as well as server and client side languages.

The three musketeers of web pages 

What is HTML

HTML stands for hyper text markup langue. The computer language was created to allow people to make websites for the internet and anyone connected to the Internet can view them once there are launched online. The coding language is relatively simple to learn and most people can grasp the basics in one sitting. The language is consonantly undergoing change and adapting as it should as the internet in which it lives on is always undergoing change. The following will break down the letters of html in more detail.

Hypertext: this is what users click on to take them to other sites be them sites connected to the main page such as addition web pages or external sites. The hyper means its not linear meaning that users can go wherever they want with these links, there is no set order in how to click them.

Markup: this is what html tags do to the text that is inside them. They convert it to a certain type of text such as italicised text until they are formatted to look otherwise via css.

Language: This is like any other language it has code words and syntax again like any other language.

The way it works is the codes are all type in by the creator or coder. The text is then saved as an HTML file type and can then be launched and view through the browser. The browser reads the language and translates it into visible form and rendering them as the creator or coder wanted them to look. The html language can be written in the simplest or the most complicated text editors one can find or buy. The language uses tags to do most of its work, the tags allow more style to happen such as bold the text and making lines between paragraph and of course having images. There are multiple tags in html to style the page and when the page is launched their effects will take place but css is where most of the style comes from for html.

https://www.yourhtmlsource.com/starthere/whatishtml.html

What is CSS

CSS stands for Cascading Style Sheet. This is the second thing a person would learn after learning the foundations of html. The language is different to html in that html would be used to make the structure of the website while css would stylise the page. The page layouts, colours and fonts all come from css. The best way to think of it is that html is a brick house while the css is the decorations and furniture on the inside.

CSS reacts to the html elements, these elements being the lone html components and tags. If the html paragraph was to be pink its as simple as taking the “P” tag from html putting it in css with some “{}” and inside that place “color:pink;” and then the paragraph would appear pink, other things could be changed such as the font size and boldness as well as the font colour. The language is similar to html in that it can be written in any text editor and is saved for the web the same way the only difference being that html is saved as .html which css is saves as .css. The styles that are created for css do have to be linked to the html file so it knows to use those styles and this is done by placing the “<link rel=”stylesheet”  type=”text/css” href=mysitestyle.css”>” into the html head tag so that when the page loads the css is read by the browser first and it knows to load the styles so the user wont see any of the raw html styling.

What is Java Script

JavaScript or JS for short is the third and sometimes forgotten web code, while its not just designed for code entirely it is combine with HTML and CSS to make some really impressive websites. JS is a full fledged dynamic programming language and this is probably why people wont associate it with html due to its programming name and nature. The language is incredibility versatile and beginner friendly for anyone looking to learn code, it can be used to create games, animated 2D and 3D graphics and much more. Lots of developers have written a heap of extra tools on top of JavaScript for when people master the basics they can download these tools and create more complex things and loads of extra functionality from the software. These can range from: 

Third party API which allows developers to incorporate API’s from other sites such as Instagram or Facebook.

Browser Application Programming interfaces which can provide web browsers with additional functionality like creating html and css dynamically and collecting and manipulating video streams from a webcam or making 3d graphics and audio clips.

JavaScript is the next step up from css in terms of making a web page look amazing. The JavaScript can make movable gallery's, forms, and even have interactive items on the page that the users can click on or have things follow there cursor, in short the most impressive website have JavaScript capabilities in them and to make that simpler the best websites have the best of all worlds, HTML, CSS and JS.

Browser behaviour

There are many different web browsers on the internet/market for users of the internet to use in the present time. Each one wants more users to use them as their main web browser but the choice is up to the users as each one provides different benefits/annoyances in terms of their features that attract and drive people away. Some of the main ones are Internet Explorer, google chrome, Mozilla Firefox and Safari. 

Internet explorer: Internet explorer is a web browser that comes bundled or pre-installed on the Microsoft OS (operating system) meaning that most computers have the web browser and can decide if they want to use it or not but has been replaced by the new edge browser as the default but is still installed. The browser is the second most used browser with 29.6% of the market while chrome which is first has 50.9%. (Rouse, 2016)

Chrome: Is the most popular browser on the market mainly as it’s fast, easy to use and has a simple design. The browser has an omnibar which combines the address bar and the search bar so searches can be done with URLS as well as words very quickly.

Firefox:  Firefox is a browser that is used by 500 million users worldwide and can be used for Linux, windows and macs as well as handhelds with 70 languages available. The browser has a high priority set on security for users when searching online and is known for being the most customizable browser on the market.

Safari: Safari like internet explorer is the default browser but for macs not Pcs (computers). The browser is simple in its design and can load pages easily and is offers loads of customisation options to it users which may prefer it to others due to its simplicity.

Client side and Server side languages 

These are what website scripts run on. Most web coding languages are designed to run on either the Client side which is something like when a user logins into a website from their home computer or from the Server side which can be when the server displays information. The client side language has several advantages such as faster response times and a more interactive application. Client side is good for when pages need to change without the database for example dynamically showing and hiding elements based on the inputs but these do require more effort and some web browser may not support the scripting language. The server side runs on the server, not on the computer which is why they are called server side. The most popular of the server side is Microsoft’s ASP.NET which uses .NET frameworks written in languages such as C#(c sharp). Server side processing happens as soon as the page is requested and will also take users inputs such as navigating to other pages. A few disadvantages of server side is that it can introduce processing overhead which can decrease performance and make users have to wait which will drive them away especially for today’s web users. The client must also have to wait for the server to process their request which may drive them away.

Text Editor

The text editor is what people use to make the code that allows the site to actually exist. There are loads of text editors but there are ones specifically designed for web and have certificate functionalities in them that can help with creating code and highlight mistakes. 

The text editor can save code for the web as long as the person knows the right stages and saves them correctly with the .html or .css file type at the end when they save their code. The two editors that one has used before is brackets and notepad and both are very different and there are plenty more out there but it makes more sense to use a program that has been used before in which one is comfortable. Below is a table highlighting the two editors showing advantages and disadvantages of the two.

The text editor that was picked was the brackets text editor as it provides a number of benefits to the coder and while it is true that improving skills on your own is a great advantage in one's mind it is just overshadowed by the time scale. Being reasonable, it makes more sense to take the help especially due to the lack of coding experience that one possesses.
