Programming Languages definition

-

Programming is getting more and more popular. There are different languages suitable for the developers to work with in order to create the best possible product. We are going to get a little familiar with some of them. 

HTML, or Hypertext Markup Language, is a language that defines the structure of web pages. It is one of the most basic building blocks of every website, so it's crucial to learn if you want to have a career in web development. HTML determines the structure of web pages. This structure alone is not enough to make a web page look good and interactive. So you'll use assisted technologies such as CSS and JavaScript to make your HTML beautiful and add interactivity, respectively. In this case, I like to break down the three technologies – HTML, CSS, and JavaScript – this way: they are like a human body. HTML is the skeleton, CSS is the skin and JavaScript is the circulatory, digestive, and respiratory systems that brings the structure and the skin to life. (Chris Kolade, 2021)
HTML is the language used to tell the browser to how to format the pieces and parts ode a web page.

CSS stands for "Cascading Style Sheet." Cascading style sheets are used to format the layout of web pages. It's a simple language which is all about presentation. It's like an interior design of the page. 

Javascript is used to make the web page more interactive and to give it a special effects. By doing so it's more attractive to the viewer and gets it's attention.
Python in recent years has become a very popular programming language. It's used in everything from machine learning to build websites and software, automate tasks, and conduct data analysis. Python is a general-purpose language, meaning it can be used to create a variety of different programs and isn’t specialized for any specific problems. This versatility, along with its beginner-friendliness, has made it one of the most-used programming languages today.
Ruby is a language of careful balance. Its creator, Yukihiro "Matz" Matsumoto, blended parts of his favourite languages (Perl, Smalltalk, Eiffel, Ada, and Lisp) to form a new language that balanced functional programming with imperative programming. According to Chris Pine Ruby is a good choice for a first programming language. (Pine, 2021)

  There are few different types of E-commerce: Business to Consumers (B2C) Tesco is a good example of this type of E- commerce.

Analysis of homepage for 2 E-commerce websites: including comparisons and features improvement

To make it more visual I would like to compare two websites to give you more visual explanation of the previous post. The companies I am going to look into are two outdoor selling goods: Cotswold Outdoor and Blacks. I will focus on the header, main body, footer and looking for the product. https://www.cotswoldoutdoor.com/ https://www.blacks.co.uk/ Both sites are very similarly designed. First visible thing that you can see is the SALE picture and clickable categories such as brands, activities or types of clothes. They have logos on the top. Cotswold has it next to the search bar, whereas Blacks has everything in one line. Both have Menu bars but Cotswold has 15 categories right under the search bar. On the right top side there are things like store finder, log in, cart, Wishlist.  Both have nicely designed footer with all the necessary information such as ways to pay, customer service, Q&A.   I don't think there is something that I would change in any of this websites.

Invention of WWW and E-commerce

Tim Berners-Lee, pictured at CERN  (Image: CERN) The World Wide Web was Invented by Tim Berners-Lee, British scientist in 1989. The Web was originally conceived and developed to meet the demand for automated information-sharing between scientists in universities and institutes around the world. Image source The man who started it all was Michael Aldrich. In 1979 he invented online shopping or precisely saying a teleshopping, which become ecommerce until internet.  It has been said that the idea emerged on the walk with his wife. They were talking about how nice it would be if they didn't have to waste the time doing shopping and instead the shopping could be delivered to them. So he came up with the idea to connect phone and TV and that's how he created a system which he named "teleshopping".
