Redux is an open-source JavaScript library that manages application state. It’s used with libraries such as React or Angular for building user interfaces. Redux is predictable, centralized, debuggable, and flexible which means:
When I think of JavaScript I think of dynamic updates, events and interpretation.
What is SQL aka Structured Query Language? SQL is a lanuage that is used to communicate with databases. Databases being where you store your data. If you want to add, edit or pull information to a database, you can use SQL.
Who is this JSON everyone seems to know about? Behind those 4 letters stands JavaScript Object Notation. JSON is a way of structuring data, it is a data representation format just like XML. It is used primarily to transmit data between a server and web application. It’s used widely across the internet for almost any APIs you’d access as well as for config files. It’s lightweight to send back and forth data across the internet through different APIs due to its small file size. This makes things move faster and users much happier. It’s easy to read and it integrates nicely with JavaScript since it’s a superset of JavaScript. So, anything you write in JSON is valid JavaScript and JavaScript is used all throughout the web for the backend and frontends of applications. JSON can be used with most programming languages, it is language independent. You will find libraries to support it and parse JSON strings into objects or classes in that particular language. Easy to get along with.
jQuery is a reusable JavaScript library that simplifies JavaScript code. JavaScript is a language and jQuery is a library, so jQuery doesn’t replace JavaScript, but it is derived from JavaScript. Keep in mind, a library is a colletion of tools that allow you to implement functionality without the need to write all the code that is needed to do it. We can use jQuery to manipulate content on a webpage. It makes things like HTML document traversal and manipulation much simpler with an easy-to-use API that works across many browsers. jQuery takes a lot of common tasks that require many lines of JavaScript code to accomplish, and wraps them into methods that you can call with a single line of code.
