My first net web page (tragically unavailable within the Wayback Machine) was actually a single, giant, sprawling index.html file on the root of my listing. I believed I used to be tremendous cool as a result of I had these skinny, large, rainbow GIF recordsdata that separated the sections of my web page, divided into Hobbies, Favourite Films, and, after all, the Beneath Development part.

Coding yesterday
Then JavaScript and CSS got here alongside, and we have been off to the races. The early days of writing JavaScript have been type of like knitting with oven mitts on. It wasn’t till jQuery got here alongside that no less than some semblance of order got here to net improvement. jQuery gave you a modicum of management over the browser’s Doc Object Mannequin (DOM). However after all each browser had a barely completely different approach of coping with the DOM.
jQuery made the UI simple, however creating purposes and structuring modules and all that software program engineering stuff was difficult. Fairly quickly everybody was releasing a JavaScript framework for net improvement. There was Spine, Knockout, Meteor, Ember, and AngularJS. These have been simply those that gained a following. Consider me, there have been 1,000,000 of them. (There are nonetheless a lot.)
