What Is Victory?

The very difference between a good programmer and a great programmer can be seen through a simple programming fundamental: ‘DRY’. The ‘Don’t Repeat Yourself’ principle usually means to not write a piece of code more than once and to use it everywhere. That said, why not consider this principle in a more abstract way? Let’s sit back and think for a moment. Do we really need to reinvent CRUD interfaces on the backend side for each new service rather than focusing on the functionality which provides the real business value?

What is web development?

Social media, websites, and blogs have taken the internet by storm since the past decade. The constant urge to build, design, and develop attractive pages with creative content has become the need of the hour. Web development exactly fits in here. As the name suggests, it is extensively involved in developing websites that can range from a simple static page to complex websites. Web development can be broadly divided into 3 categories:

1. Front-end development
2. Back-end development
3. Full-stack development
   Let’s get into the details of each type of development given above.

Types of web development

Front-end development

Every single day, we do not miss the chance to open our browser and look into various things that might interest us. Our mind is constantly hungry and the internet feeds us with the right amount of knowledge. Ever wondered how good the design of any web page looks like? For example, you open Amazon, the first thing you see is the landing page. Who designs this? How is it designed? What tools are required to build this page? These are the most common questions, to begin with. In simple words, what you see in front of your eyes is what a front-end designer designs. In order to create the front end of the website, a developer should have good knowledge of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript programming. Using these tools, a front-end developer can closely work with user experience analysts and can also identify issues in user experience and provide solutions for improving the structure of the design.

HTML

HTML stands for Hyper Text Mark-up Language. It is a standard mark-up language used for creating web pages. It is used to describe the structure of the web page and tells the browser how to display the content. HTML uses predefined tags and elements which tell the browser about content display property. If a tag is not closed then the browser applies that effect till the end of the page. The Basic Structure of the HTML page is given below. These elements are used to build blocks of web pages.

CSS

CSS stands for Cascading style sheets. It describes how HTML elements are to be displayed on the screen. It can also control the layout of multiple web pages all at once. In simple words, CSS is used to bring life, color, and visual appeal to any website.

JavaScript

JavaScript is the most popular programming language of the web. It is a cross-platform, object-oriented scripting language used to make webpages interactive. Inside a host environment (for example, a web browser), JavaScript can be connected to the objects of its environment to provide programmatic control over them.

Back-end development

The back end of a website consists of a server, an application, and a database. A back-end developer builds and maintains the technology that powers those components which, together, enable the user-facing side of the website to even exist in the first place. Backend developers collaborate with their clients and business stakeholders in order to understand their needs and develop the code accordingly. In order to make the server, application, and database communicate with each other, back-end developers use server-side languages like PHP, Ruby, Python, Java, and .Net to build applications.

Full-stack development

In simple words, a full stack developer is the jack of all trades. They work on both the front end as well as back end development of the website. A full-stack developer ensures that every part of the system runs smoothly. They are used for developing both client and server software and along with acquiring knowledge on HTML/CSS they are used to program a browser (JavaScript, jQuery, Angular, or Vue), program a server (PHP, ASP, Python, or Node) and program a database (SQL, SQLite, or MongoDB). Using these tools, full-stack developers will be able to immediately identify the client- and server-side responsibilities of a solution.

If you’ve ever worked with the Expo and later realised that it’s not enough and decided to eject with Expokit, then you must be familiar with the frustration that comes along when you’re building a production-level app. Keeping multiple apps for developers, testers and end-users can be tricky and requires your app to manage environment variable inside your Javascript realm, configs inside your native realms and some of the configs in your App.json. On top of it, the behaviour of the entry point being App.json of the detached app is such a pain in the **s. The detached project doesn’t treat your App.json file the same way your usual expo project does. In a nutshell, some of the configs are pick up from App.json and others are from Native files. You can read more about it here Expo App.json.
