Why Web Developers interested in React Js?

The amount of JavaScript tools is steadily increasing, turning the selection of appropriate technology into a challenge. But why developers are most interested in React js among those libraries.

Nowadays all the web applications are in SPAs. It means the DOM trees are huge nowadays, in turn we need to modify the DOM tree incessantly and a lot. This is a real performance and development pain.

Consider a DOM made of thousands of divs. We have lots of methods that handle events - clicks, submits.

What can do by the library like jQuery?
jQuery will find every node interested on an event and update it if necessary

It has two problems: It’s hard to manage and it’s inefficient.

The solution to problem 1 is declarativeness. Instead of low-level techniques like traversing the DOM tree manually, you simple declare how a component should look like. But this doesn’t solve the performance issue. This is exactly where the Virtual DOM comes into action.

First of all - the Virtual DOM was not invented by React, but React uses it and provides it for free.

Virtual DOM makes React js as Web Developers choice for SPAs.

So, What's Virtual DOM? I'll explain in the next post.

Happy Programming!

Virtual machines vs. Containers

One of the questions that often comes up to anybody who's in the cloud space is, what are the differences between virtual machines and container? When should use one versus the other? Unfortunately the answer is not so simple clear-cut. We can't say you should always use containers or always use virtual machines. But, there are some things to keep in mind. There are certain kinds of applications which benefit from running in containers or using micro services in general. Microservices means taking an application and decomposing it into smaller parts. This is really good if you need to build a web scale application and you need to have the ability to turn up different dials of performance somewhat independent of each other. For example, take the middleware piece or the front end or the database piece and you need to scale them individually. The other benefit of containers is a consistency between the development environment and the production environment where you can take thing...

Node.js for Everything

Lots of web applications using Javascript for front end for a long time. Javascript enabling people to build really really interactive great products, we can use Javascript on the front end and on the back end. So, what do we do on the back end? Node.js is the answer. Here we'll see some of the npm packages that'll help us to enable Javascript in back end as well. Load balancing is the main one when you plan to host your application server environment. Node offers pm2 package to easy your job. It's modern CLI process manager for Node apps with a builtin load-balancer. npm install pm2@latest -g pm2 start app.js Next thing is running applications continuously. Yeah, we've a node package named forever. It's a simple CLI tool for ensuring that a given node script runs continuously. npm install forever -g forever start app.js Enabling debugging in Javascript client applications are easy. Debugging a node application is sometimes a black box sometimes not, but one of the ...
