Web Development

SaaS is a software distribution model in which a company provides cloud-hosted web applications that customers access via the Internet using a web browser, typically through recurring subscriptions that do not require local installation.

An API is a set of definitions, rules, and protocols that allows different software applications to communicate and exchange data with one another, making it easy for a website to integrate tools such as payment gateways, interactive maps, or weather systems.

A framework is a predefined software development structure that provides tools, code libraries, and programming best practices that serve as a foundation for developers to build applications more quickly, in a more organized manner, and with greater scalability.

HTML5 is the latest version of the standard language used to structure and display web pages on the Internet. It introduces advanced semantic tags, direct support for audio and video without the need for external plug-ins, and greater compatibility with mobile devices.

Responsive design is an approach to web development and design that aims to ensure a page displays correctly on various devices and screen sizes—from desktop monitors to mobile phones and tablets—using fluid grids, adaptive images, and CSS media queries.

HTTP is the fundamental protocol that defines the exchange of information on the web, while HTTPS is its encrypted and secure version, which uses SSL certificates to ensure that the data being transferred remains private and protected from cyber spies.

FTP is the traditional protocol for transferring files between systems connected to a network, and SFTP is its secure version, which adds end-to-end encryption, allowing you to upload, download, and organize a website's files on the server with complete security.

JavaScript is an interpreted programming language that runs in the user's browser and allows for the implementation of complex and interactive elements on a web page, such as interactive forms, dynamic image galleries, real-time animations, and content updates without reloading the page.

JSON is a simple, lightweight text format for exchanging structured data. It is based on the syntax of JavaScript objects but is completely independent of any programming language, making it easy for humans to read and allowing for fast processing by systems and web servers.

CSS3 is the standard for cascading style sheets that controls the visual presentation of HTML-structured documents, allowing you to define fonts, colors, spacing, rounded corners, shadows, animated transitions, and a page's responsiveness on mobile devices.

WPO (Web Performance Optimization) is the set of practices and techniques designed to improve a website’s speed and response times. This includes optimizing images, minifying CSS and JavaScript code, implementing caching, and ensuring fast delivery to enhance the user experience and SEO.

First Contentful Paint is a web loading speed metric that measures the number of seconds that elapse from the moment a user navigates to a URL until the web browser renders the first visual element on the screen, such as text, images, or graphics.

Front-end development refers to the creation and optimization of a website's user interface, encompassing all the visual and functional components that visitors interact with directly, programmed primarily using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.

Back-end development involves programming the internal logic of a website or application that runs on the server and is not directly visible to the user, including processing database queries, managing user sessions, and communicating with external services.
