Summary of Documentation

Summary of the Mozilla Developer Network website HTML - Hypertext Markup Language is the foundation of a website. It creates the meaning and structure of the website. This is where multiple web pages can be linked together and that is a key aspect of HTML. CSS - Cascading Style Sheets is a language that describes how a webpage will look that is written in HTML of XML. This language will describe how elements will be shown on screen or other media. There have been many versions of CSS and before they would call it CSS1, CSS2.1, CSS3 and so forth but now we just call it CSS. DOM - The Document Object Model appeared when browsers began to use JavaScript. This is an API that interacts with any HTML or XML document. An API (Application Programming Interface) is a set of rules and features that are being used by a software program that enables it to interact with it through software. The DOM is used very often because it allows code running in a browser to interact with all of the nodes in the document. JavaScript - This is a programming language that is most popular as the scripting language for web pages. Although it can also be used in Node.js and Adobe Acrobat. It has the ability of runtime object construction, create function variables, and dynamic script creation. It is very different from the programming language Java as they have different syntax and semantics. In a website is adds a dynamic aspect to the webpage and adds to its functionality. Summary - In conclusion, these languages all make up an important part of the web and each adds an important aspect to creating a dynamic and professional looking website. When looking for programming help, It is important to seek a trusted resource because you want to make sure that your code will work as it is meant to and make sure that you have included everything in your code, for example accessibility, when making a professional website.
