Introduction

This website focuses on the use of several technology components to communicate and work together with each other. The course covers topics related to inter-system communication, data mapping and exchange, integrative coding, scripting techniques, software security and an overview of programming languages. We will dwell on Intersystems Communications, Data Mapping and Exchange, and Integrative Coding.

What is JavaScript?

Javascript is a powerful programming language that is used to create dynamic and interactive effects within web browsers. It's an essential part of web development, alongside HTML and CSS, which are used for structure and styling respectively. JavaScript enables developers to add a variety of interactive features to websites, such as animated graphics, clickable buttons, and complex calculations. It's a versatile language that can be used for both front-end and back-end development, making it a valuable skill for any web developer. With its ability to manipulate HTML and CSS, JavaScript can control multimedia, animate images, and respond to user interactions, creating a more engaging and responsive user experience

What is HTML?

HTML which stands for HyperText Markup Language, is the standard language used to create and design documents on the World Wide Web. HTML defines the structure and layout of a web page by using a variety of tags and attributes. These tags indicate to web browsers how to display the content, including headings, paragraphs, links, images, and other elements that make up a web page. It's a cornerstone technology alongside CSS and JavaScript, which are used for presentation and functionality respectively. HTML documents are plain text files that can be edited with any text editor and viewed in any web browser, making them incredibly versatile and widely used.

CSS which stands for Cascading Style Sheets, is a stylesheet language used to control the presentation of documents written in HTML or XML. It enables web developers to apply styles, such as fonts, colors, and layouts, across multiple pages of a website with a single stylesheet, making it a powerful tool for maintaining a consistent design and enhancing the user experience. CSS rules are defined in a simple syntax where selectors are used to apply styles to elements within the document. For instance, you could specify that all main headings (`h1` tags) should be displayed in red color and a large font size. This separation of content (HTML) and style (CSS) allows for more flexibility and accessibility in web design.
