React vs Angular; Front-End Web Development

Angular and React are two of the most popular Javascript tools for front-end development.

React is a Javascript created by Meta. It was first released in May 2013. It is maintained by a community of developers and corporations. React allows large web applications that can change over time without loading it. It's best known for speed, simplicity, and scalability.

Angular is a Typescript framework for single-page applications(SPA). It is led by Angular a team at Google and a community of individuals and corporations. It was released in 2016 by the same team that built Angular JS which was released in 2010.

Key differences between Angular and React.

1. React is a library while Angular is a complete framework. 

2. React uses Javascript while Angular uses Typescript.

3. React is faster and smaller than Angular.

4. React has a lower learning curve than Angular

5. Angular is used by Google, Microsoft,  Forbes, Payapl, and Upwork.

6. React is used by Meta, Netflix, Uber, Airbnb, and The New York Times.

Creating An Alarm Clock Using Python

 This code uses the datetime module to get the current time and the input() function to get the desired alarm time from the user. The while loop continuously checks if the current time matches the alarm time. If it does, then it raises an alarm by printing “Alarm Raised” and exits the loop. Otherwise, it prints “Alarm Not Raised” and exits the loop.

import datetime

print(datetime.datetime.today().strftime("%H"))

print(datetime.datetime.today().strftime("%M"))

hour = int(input("Enter an hour: 15"))

minute = int(input("Enter a minute:53 "))

while True:

    if hour == int(datetime.datetime.today().strftime("%H")) and minute == int(datetime.datetime.today().strftime("%M")):

        print("Alarm Raised")

        break

    else:

        print("Alarm Not Raised")

        break

Python vs PHP For Web Development

Python and PHP programming languages; anything you need to know.

Python and PHP are both popular programming languages used for web development but they have different characteristics and use cases.

Python is a general-purpose programming language. It's popular for its simplicity, easy to learn, and versatility. 

 

It has many uses from website development,  machine learning, data analysis, and artificial intelligence to scientific computing.

 It's syntax is easy to learn and understand making it a great choice for beginners.

PHP (Hypertext preprocessor)

PHP is a server-side scripting language specifically made for web development.

It is widely used for creating dynamic web pages and web applications.

Comparison

1. Syntax

Python has cream and readable syntax making it good for readability and simplicity.

PHP syntax is similar to C but it's more verbose compared to Python.

2. Web development

Both Python and PHP are used for web development. They have different frameworks and ecosystems.

Python has frameworks like Django and Flask which are powerful tools for web development.

PHP have frameworks like Laravel, and Symfony used for web development.

3.  Community

Python has a larger community of developers who contribute to its growth and development.

PHP has a strong community with many resources available online for learning and troubleshooting.

4. Performance

Python's performance is in scientific computing and data analysis due to its extensive libraries.

PHP is good and optimised for web development tasks making it efficient for handling web requests.

 Finally, the choice between Python and PHP depends on your specific project requirements,  personal preferences, and familiarity with the language. Each language has its strengths and weaknesses. It's good to determine it's community support, availability of resources, performance needs and the nature of the project.

Making Of Multiplication Table ;Python.

Today I want to share with you a short python project. A multiplication table python project. The is one of the shortest projects I have ever created. It contains less than five lines of code, but at the end of the coding, you get one of the best multiplication tables.

Codes.

As you can see, we have used four lines of code. With these four lines, you can adjust the codes inside and produce a better multiplication table of any length.

Inline one, for x in range (0,16) means we want our table to show multiplication of from zero to fifteen .since the counting in python starts from zero, we end up getting a table of from zero to fifteen. The last number is never counted.

If you want to produce a table of up to a higher number, you can replace 16 with any bigger number like 17,18,19,20, etc.

For I in range(0,8) means we want to multiply each number in x with zero to eight.  you can also adjust your table by replacing 8 with any bigger 

After using just four lines of codes, you end up getting an amazing multiplication table like this.

You can use the above codes and see if you can get a better table than this.

WordPress vs Blogger: Key differences

Maybe you are asking yourself why you should have a blog. I'm here to tell you that many people have taken blogging as their full-time employment(career) and they are making very huge money from it.

As for now, there are very many blogging sites where bloggers can create their blogs and get the best services from them, but I'm going to take you through just two; Blogger and WordPress.

Note: In this article, we are only talking about WordPress.org but not WordPress.com. you can also learn about their differences in this blog.

WordPress is a full content management system which means you can create a website using it. WordPress is not entirely free because you have to pay for a hosting plan in any hosting site of your choice. If you are looking for a cheap hosting site, look for Namecheap.com. If you want a better hosting company do it on Bluehost.com.

Blogger is beginner-friendly. It is very easy to create and publish your posts. All you need is to create a user profile using a google account. Then, you need to choose your URL which will have a .blogspot.com added to the end o your URL, for example, johnkey.blogspot.com. You can always change the domain ending by buying a custom domain.

After creating your account, you will get into the blogger dashboard where you can set up your blog, create posts, pages, and many more blog settings.

Pros and cons of WordPress.

1. The platform is beginner-friendly and easy to learn especially if you want to perform simple tasks like blogging.

2. There are many customized options in form of plugins and themes enabling you to design your site the way you want.

3. You are responsible for your site's management and making sure it's very secure.

4. You will need some money to invest when starting up your WordPress account like buying a domain name.

Pros and cons of the blogger.

1. It's very simple and quick to get started with a blogger. It takes very few minutes to create your blog and start running it.

2. Blogger is 100% free because you don't need any hosting plan like buying a domain and hosting it.

3. The platform is very basic because you can't do much with it. Many blog features are highly restricted.

4.Your blogger contents are not fully owned by you although you can export the contents to another site or blog.

4. Implementing Dark Mode with CSS:

The CSS techniques used to implement dark mode effectively. Utilize media queries to detect user preferences, or provide a manual toggle option for users to switch between light and dark modes. Walk through the necessary CSS modifications for background colours, text colours, and other relevant elements.

.light-mode {

/* Light mode styles */

Colour: #000;

background-color: #fff;

}

.dark-mode {

/* Dark mode styles */

color: #fff;

background-color: #333;

}

/* Additional styles for elements in dark mode */

.dark-mode h1 {

color: #fff;

}

@media (prefers-color-scheme: dark) {

/* Styles for automatic dark mode */

html:not(.dark-mode) {

color: #fff;

background-color: #333;

}

/* Additional styles for elements in automatic dark mode */

html:not(.dark-mode) h1 {

color: #fff;

}

}

body {

/* Other body styles */

transition: background-color 0.3s ease, color 0.3s ease;

}

#dark-mode-icon {

width: 24px;

height: 24px;

background-image: url('dark.png');

background-size: cover;

/* Add other styling as needed */

}

5. The JavaScript part of dark mode:

document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', () => {

const darkModeToggle = document.getElementById('dark-mode-toggle');

const html = document.querySelector('html');

const localStorageKey = 'darkMode';

// Retrieve user preference from local storage

const isDarkModeEnabled = JSON.parse(localStorage.getItem(localStorageKey));

// Apply the appropriate class based on the user's preference

if (isDarkModeEnabled) {

html.classList.add('dark-mode');

} else {

html.classList.remove('dark-mode');

}

darkModeToggle.addEventListener('click', () => {

// Toggle dark mode class

html.classList.toggle('dark-mode');

// Save user preference to local storage

localStorage.setItem(localStorageKey, html.classList.contains('dark-mode'));

});

});

Conclusion:

By incorporating a dark mode feature into your website, you can significantly enhance the user experience by providing a visually appealing, comfortable, and customizable browsing experience. Follow the steps outlined in this article, adapting them to suit your website's specific requirements. Embrace the benefits of dark mode and empower users with an immersive and enjoyable interface.
