Front End Technologies: Worth trying hands on
A website or an application can be classified worthwhile or deserving only if their users can interact smoothly and easily with interface of the application. When the user of your application can understand and comprehend the interface in a simple manner, then that’s when you have successfully achieved the pinnacle under web development. Until and unless, your users don’t understand the flow of your website or the working principle of your application, all your hard work goes in vain. Therefore, front end comes into the picture.
Front end is a major stage for web development. Front end development controls all the inputs and outputs being witnessed by a user interacting through the interface. Any kind of communication between a user and the application is performed through front end technologies. Therefore, it is coined as “client side” of the application. Any changes in text colours and styles, images, graphs and tables, buttons, colours, and navigation menu is handled by front end languages. The look, feel and experience of an application on any browser or in mobile’s screen, or any device is responsibility of a frontend developer. The more the site is engaging for users, more users will be attracted to your website.
Frontend technologies make the application:
· Responsive
· Improvises Performance
So, all the effort goes to frontend technologies for making application more user friendly and easily interpretable. Here we have discussed some of the frontend technologies used under web development and application development.
1. HTML : Key of frontend Technology
HTML is commonly referred as Hyper Text Markup Language. It is used for the basic page structure and content for any website. HTML causes the structure of website, and elements such as headlines or paragraphs and enables embedding images, video, and other media. HTML gives a profound strong look to the website. It gives a solid foundation layout. It depicts short codes and syntax by which it is to be implemented.
As markups are the proper name for HTML elements, which are also called HTML tags. HTML as a whole is the markup which is observable by the viewers.
However, it’s important to remember that HTML isn’t particularly intelligent. It doesn’t make decisions or capture information on its own. It simply renders the scaffolding of the web pages.
HTML5
When HTML was initially released in 1991, ever since then it has undergone many updates. HTML5 was released in 2014. It has added external features as offline media storage support, more precise content elements (i.e. header, footer, navigation), and support for audio and video embedding.
2. CSS — Grooming for your web pages
CSS also known as Cascading Style Sheets. CSS is mainly used for visual editing on the screen and how the elements will be displayed for observing skills of users. CSS masters layout of many different web pages all together. It works upon terms of design, layout, and variations for diverse devices with different screen sizes. CSS is very vital since it interacts with HTML elements. The layout of a page is better controlled by cascading style sheet elements.
Some of the advantages of CSS are:
· Easier to maintain web pages and update.
· Brings Greater consistency in design
· More formatting options.
· Gives faster download times.
· SEO friendly
· Ease of presenting different styles in different forms.
· Greater accessibility.
CSS consists of 3 categories: inline, external, and internal. CSS holds major benefits of loading the website faster. Web developers are able to generate different looks by following CSS. By usage of CSS, your web page turns out to be more stylish and more attractive.
It majorly works upon CSS frameworks. A new trend with styling uses what is called a CSS pre-processor. These include 3 elements: Less, Sass and stylists. Pre-processors are scripting languages. They accommodate some programming logic.
CSS pre-processors consolidate styling through “usability” and scale easily for use with large websites. Most front-end engineers of all levels have experience with pre-processors due to their power and flexibility to suit all scenarios, from building small single-page websites to enterprise applications.
3. JavaScript — Brings Life to your web page
JavaScript is a popular scripting language used to create magic on the sites to make the site interactive for the user. It is used for enhancing the functionality of a website for running cool games and web-based software.
JavaScript is a trail language for web browsers. JavaScript is different for backend as well as for front end. It coordinates between backend and frontend. These days, web pages are made dynamic, with the help of JavaScript. Dynamic web pages are need of the hour. One cannot escape from the reality.
4. Flutter
If one wants to build high-quality, cross platform native interfaces for iOS and Android platforms, then flutter is best choice in today’s modern hi-tech world! Flutter is originally developed by Google, which is categorized as an open source platform.
These days Flutter is highly in demand in the sector of mobile app development. It uses “Dart” as a programming language instead of JavaScript which initiates rapid and effective analysis, fabricates UIs, includes highlights and fixes bugs in short span of time.
We are a top-notch Flutter app development company delivering powerful, intuitive and robust Android and iOS applications in the fastest time using open source mobile SDK. Flutter has a characteristic feature of being versatile therefore, it is widely accepted in by the tech professional.
We at JHK InfoTech love to explore latest technologies by trying our hands on flutter as well.
5. ReactJS
Comparing to other complicated frameworks, like angular.js, react brings lot of ease in the field of mobile application development. Many successful and established companies like Netflix, Airbnb , Instagram have developed many features under ReactJS. It has become quite popular in front end web development. React JS is a JavaScript library used in web development to add interactive elements on your user friendly websites.
ReactJS is an open source, component based, front-end library developed by a famous professional named Jordan Walke, who turns out to be a software engineer at Facebook. React is a JavaScript library created for building innovative and interactive user interfaces for web and mobile applications. Basically ReactJS focuses on Model View Controller (MVC) architecture, the view layer is responsible for the look and feel of the application.
It is a scripting language use to create dynamic content on web and app development. Dynamic content includes animated graphics, photo slides or slider on main page of the website. Have you anytime observed, while visiting a website, without having to load the page, the things on the web page are moving, or in motion, that means its backend coding is done through ReactJS. Javascript helps build animated and interactive features on your web applications.
Conclusion :
Therefore, with all these frontend technologies, make a wise choose by selecting an appropriate framework for your robust and easily connectible user friendly website. After all it all depends upon your fundamentals!
Make your frontend as creative as how you are imagining to paint a sculpture !
