Contents of Attached CD . 82 Glossary . 83 Bibliography . 86 vii Introduction Since the introduction of Web 2.0, website content management has rede- fined the way modern websites are used. There are numerous ways to man- age the content of a certain website to make it secure and user friendly. Most importantly, the whole management system has to be effective. In order to accomplish this, programmers often face a large amount of time consuming development that would later include rewriting parts of code and reusing it in other projects. With countless hours spent on programming from scratch, it is necessary to look for new ways to build high end web applications fast and easily. Web frameworks have become crucial for creating effective web ap- plications, not only for managing its contents. Today we are able to uti- lize over a hundred different frameworks written in various different lan- guages, with often a very distinct way of approaching a certain develop- ment problematic. Web developers were given a powerful tool for creating complex web applications easily and fast, which relieved from the burden of developing each system core separately from the beginning. The aim of this paper is to analyze functionality of modern web frame- works, describe distinctions between them and present different ways of development approach. Since there are over a hundred of these frameworks, this paper includes analysis of a representative sample of them and de- scribes their advantages when using them for certain application type based on requirements of a given application. In the first chapter the paper introduces important terminology used to describe procedures and technologies that are crucial for developing web applications. The chapter also covers the specifications of chosen criteria for the quality assessment of the chosen frameworks. In chapter 2, every framework is verbally described on the base of research and its output is structured in a research summary and transparent comparison tables. The practical part consists of designing the web application for the Laboratory of Multimedia Electronic Applications (LEMMA) and the website of the film festival organized by Faculty of Informatics in the best suited frame- work according to its usability, extensibility and deployment requirements, based on the research conducted in chapter 2. 1 1 Problematic and Basic Terms This chapter covers the introduction to the web application problematic and briefly describes basic terms and common development approaches used in the thesis. It also briefly covers modern code simplification technologies that allow developers to save time by simply generating large parts of the code or writing such parts using special macros. The last part of the chapter focuses on describing the terminology used in the final selection of tested web frameworks. 1.1 Web Applications Since early 90’s the internet has become the world’s most popular center of information sharing, advertisement and marketing, and it is responsi- ble for the revolution of information technologies. There is no reason to doubt that it is a headstone for applications that are accessible from any lo- cation using just the internet browser, without any need of installation, yet still maintaining the functionality of a desktop application. Since the inter- net was not originally built for such purposes, numerous new technologies were created to provide developers with the tools needed for building such applications. Thus emerged the term “Web Application”, which refers to any software running in a web browser and created in a browser-supported programming language relying on the browser to render the contents of the application. Web applications have become very popular due to the ubiq- uity of the web browser in a role of a client (known as thin client, because it itself does not contain the application logic). Even though web applications were written to perform and look like desktop applications, there are differences that make them rather unique. Accessing the application from anywhere is its biggest advantage. Users can log in to the system from different destinations simply via browser and manipulate data on the server, giving them access to their own personal settings of the application, bringing the value of portability. Another ad- vantage of web applications is that they can be be operated by more users at once. They can also be used to mediate communication between them, creating a network of operations that is usually required for community- based projects. On the other hand, web browsers were created to browse the web pages, and “Back” and “Forward” functions that are used to navi- gate in website history can be confusing for the application. Also, web ap- plications are unable to access the file system of a client computer, which 2 1. PROBLEMATIC AND BASIC TERMS can be both advantageous and detrimental. Users cannot manipulate with files on their drives but there is also no danger to their security. Access to the web application is mediated by the internet browser, which is closely connected to the client/server architecture. Such architecture rep- resents a server that provides various contents or services to its users. Also, it is possible to connect to it from different locations using a simple ac- cess point – the browser.

  • TEC-57 – Full Stack Ruby-On-Rails Web Developer Certificate Program with Externship
    Continuing Education 1717 S. Chestnut Ave. Fresno, CA 93702-4709 (800) 372-5505 https://ce.fresno.edu TEC-57 – Full Stack Ruby-on-Rails Web Developer Certificate Program with Externship Professional Education Course Syllabus Program includes National Certification & an Externship Opportunity Course Contact Hours: 42 The Full Stack Web Developer Profession Full stack developers are software or website programmers who combine the roles of front-end and back-end developers. Stack developer job is relatively new (just four years old). This role blends both front-end and back-end development since there is no clear borderline between the two: front- end developers often lack extra back-end skills, and the other way around. Full stack duties, in their turn, unite the both. These specialists work professionally both on the user side and server side of the web development cycle. To this end, the role requires in-depth knowledge of every level of web creation process, which includes Linus server’s set-up and configuration, creating server-side APIs, making JavaScript-codes that power apps, and so on. A Ruby on Rails developer is responsible for writing server-side web application logic in Ruby, around the framework Rails. Ruby on Rails developers usually develop back-end components, connect the application with the other (often third-party) web services, and support the front-end developers by integrating their work with the application. Ruby on Rails, as a framework, has gained popularity tremendously over a very short period of time. The goal of the framework is to reduce the time and effort required to build a web application.

  • 1 Introducing Symfony, Cakephp, and Zend Framework
    1 Introducing Symfony, CakePHP, and Zend Framework An invasion of armies can be resisted, but not an idea whose time has come. — Victor Hugo WHAT’S IN THIS CHAPTER? ‰ General discussion on frameworks. ‰ Introducing popular PHP frameworks. ‰ Design patterns. Everyone knows that all web applications have some things in common. They have users who can register, log in, and interact. Interaction is carried out mostly through validated and secured forms, and results are stored in various databases. The databases are then searched, data is processed, and data is presented back to the user, often according to his locale. If only you could extract these patterns as some kind of abstractions and transport them into further applications, the developmentCOPYRIGHTED process would be much MATERIAL faster. This task obviously can be done. Moreover, it can be done in many different ways and in almost any programming language. That’s why there are so many brilliant solutions that make web development faster and easier. In this book, we present three of them: Symfony, CakePHP, and Zend Framework. They do not only push the development process to the extremes in terms of rapidity but also provide massive amounts of advanced features that have become a must in the world of Web 2.0 applications. cc01.indd01.indd 1 11/24/2011/24/2011 55:45:10:45:10 PPMM 2 x CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCING SYMFONY, CAKEPHP, AND ZEND FRAMEWORK WHAT ARE WEB APPLICATION FRAMEWORKS AND HOW ARE THEY USED?
