Programming Methodologies in JavaScript

Here I compare Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) and Functional Programming, highlighting their fundamental differences. OOP utilizes inheritance and encapsulates data, focusing on "what something is", while Functional Programming emphasizes function composition and immutability, concentrating on "what something has". Both methods have benefits and drawbacks influencing code clarity, maintainability, and memory efficiency.  MORE q

DOM Access in JavaScript

Here I explore how to utilize the JavaScript DOM Web API to manipulate document elements. It highlights methods for accessing and modifying elements, such as retrieving elements by ID, creating new ones, and altering styles. Additionally, it describes various data types within the DOM API, enhancing understanding of its structure and capabilities.  MORE q

Strict Mode in JavaScript

Strict mode can be turned on by the developer to run a variant of JavaScript in the browser. This variant uses different semantics to run JS code. Initiating this is as simple as writing: 'use strict'; One use case is as a temporary measure during development to uncover errors that would otherwise fail silently. In addition, if browser support can be  MORE q

Important notes on classes : It is common to capitalize the first letter of the class name to make clear it is a class and  MORE q

Literals in JavaScript

Literal in programming: In computer science, a literal is a notation for representing a fixed value in source code. In JavaScript, it would be closed by { } or [ ]. Object Literal: This would be closed by { } and have a key(String or Number) and a value (any type) separated by a colon with each entry   MORE q

Forms & Validation

It is a good idea to perform basic tests on user-inputted data before sending it to the server just to make sure it meets basic standards. This is not, in any way, a substitute for actual security tests that must be performed on the server before consuming the data. Any code running in the browser can be altered, so truly protecting the server from malicious code sent via form data can only be done away from the  MORE q
