First Step Into My Career Life

Through out this blog I would like to share the hands on experience which I am about to derive by being a developer in Information Technology field. I have already started my career life as a Software Engineer Intern. I am about to use the latest technologies such as Angular 6, ASP.Net and MySQL through out the upcoming six months. I would be working on a project which will develop a “Task Management System” for usage of the employees in order to track down their daily work load.

What is REST?

When we working with web applications it would be much better to know about RESTful API. Application Programming Interface (API) is what connects the whole world together. This interface will help you to send some set of data from one place to other. User doesn’t have to worry about the process of data transformation. API just brings your needs to the distance of a finger tip. RESTful API however keeps the front end (the interface which you deals with) and the back end (the processes and business logic of a software piece) in two separate servers. Actually that is the magic of REST (Representational State Transfer Protocol).

What is Angular?

As I mentioned above, version 6 of Angular language is being used to develop the front end of the software. Angular is a very powerful language which can be used to develop applications for web, mobile or desktop but in this case it is being used for a web application. As developers we are pretty much familier with the MVC(Model,View,Controller) architecture. A piece of code which is written by Angular language, can fulfill the whole responsibility of the “View” component of MVC architecture while providing number of modules to be plugged in and out to our source code whenever we want. There are large number of Angular modules which are developed already. Users just have to go to Angular Official Web Site. An angular component is consists with HTML page, Js file, css file and spec file. There is a special component type named “service components” which will connects the front end and back end. Using HTTP Client data can be transmitted to the front end. Dependency Injection is the other special approach which angular has used in order to use the dependencies between the components.
