For the longest time, application development and management were completely dependent upon physical infrastructure. As businesses looked to host multiple applications on a singular hardware system, virtualization solutions like hypervisors were introduced. A hypervisor, also known as a Virtual Machine Monitor (VMM), is software that creates and runs Virtual Machines (VMs). The hypervisor will allocate resources to each guest or …
JavaScript (often abbreviated as JS) is one of the foundations of the modern web infrastructure. It’s a lightweight, interpreted, object-oriented programming language that supports first-class functions. JavaScript is mostly known for its implementation in dynamic web pages. Because of its features, however, JavaScript is also used in non-browser environments. In this guide, we will discuss in detail two JavaScript objects: …
Introduction Angular applications are very common these days. They are built with the concept of Single Page Applications (SPA). In such applications, routing across the web pages is different from traditional websites since components are used. In Angular, you need to use RouterLink for navigation to route across the application. RouterLink is a directive, and it provides Router.navigate and Router.navigateByURL …
JSON stands for JavaScript Object Notation. It is used to describe JavaScript objects. It is a data-sharing format that specifies data values using key-value pairs.

Many web apps face the necessity of interfacing with a REST API at some point in their development. For React-based web apps, we can use Axios, a lightweight HTTP client based on the $http service within Angular.js v1.x. The features are similar to JavaScript’s native Fetch API. Axios is promise-based, allowing us the ability to incorporate JavaScript’s async and await …
Git is the most popular version control system in the field of software development. It’s open-source and actively maintained since 2005 by Linus Torvalds, the famous creator of Linux. Today, a staggering number of software projects (including commercial ones) use Git for version management. Git follows a distributed architecture, making it a perfect example of a DVCS (Distributed Version Control …
