Ajax and API

API - Application Program Interface 

It is a  set of functions and procedures that allow the creation of applications which access the features or data of an operating system, application, or other service.

what i understood..

It is like a middle ware between user and the database ( can made from java/PHP/java script) .
Not giving the full access to the user
Hiding the real data ( like a SQL view or can be real data too)
in web services we use " ajax " to access the  database through API ( not always )

user uses --> ajax --> to access API -->database

AJAX - Asynchronous JavaScript and XML

 In a nutshell, it is the use of the XMLHttpRequest object to communicate with server-side scripts. It can send as well as receive information in a variety of formats, including JSON, XML, HTML, and even text files

AJAX is a developer's dream, because you can:
  • Update a web page without reloading the page
  • Request data from a server - after the page has loaded
  • Receive data from a server - after the page has loaded
  • Send data to a server - in the background

what is learnt in lab class..


Write a function to call GitHub API (https://api.github.com/users) and get users and return the users to the caller.

function getSomething() {
    $.ajax({
        url: 'https://api.github.com/users',
        method: 'POST',
        success: function (data) {
            console.log(data);
        },
        error: function (data) {
            console.log(data);
        }
    });
};

getSomething();

An Introduction to Spring Framework

An Introduction to Spring Framework   What is Spring ? Spring is an application framework . Unlike single-tier frameworks such as Struts or Hibernate, Spring aims to help structure whole applications in a consistent, productive manner, pulling together best-of-breed single-tier frameworks to create a coherent architecture. Why Spring ? The Spring Framework is an open source application framework that aims to make J2EE development easier. We’ll look at the motivation for Spring, its goals, and how Spring can help you develop high-quality applications quickly. Using J2EE “out of the box” is not an attractive option. Many J2EE APIs and services are cumbersome to use. J2EE does a great job of standardizing low-level infrastructure, solving such problems as how can Java code access transaction management without dealing with the details of transactions. But J2EE does not provide an easily usable view for application code.That is the role of an application framework, such a

JavaScript Closures

Java Scr ipt   Clo sures JavaScript variables can belong to the  local  or  global  scope. Global variables can be made local (private) with  closures . a closure is one way of supporting first class functions, it is an expression that can reference variables within its scope (when it was first declared), be assigned to a variable, be passed as an argument to a function, or be returned as a function result. Or a closure is a stack frame which is allocated when a function starts its execution, and not freed after the function returns . example - var  add = ( function  () {      var  counter =  0 ;      return   function  () { return  counter +=  1 ;} })(); add(); add(); add(); // the counter is now 3 What I learnt in Lab class.. Create a separate function using JavaScript closure which accepts the tax percentage and returns a function which accepts the amount and returns the amount after adding tax percentage. // c
