CHAPTER 3: TECHNOLOGY USED
VISUAL STUDIO CODE

This software is used to write our code as this is a coding platform and a source code
editor made by microsoft for windows,linux and macOS . Features include support for
debugging,syntax highlighting , intelligent code completion , snippets , code refactoring
. We have used this for the creation of a web page where we have shown the graphs of
humidity , temperature and covid cases in real time . We fetched the API keys of these
three constraints from open servers and fetched them through javascript. Hypertext
markup language (HTML),Cascading style sheets (CSS) Javascript were written in
visual studio code for our project . VS Code supports a wide array of programming
languages from Java, C++, and Python to CSS, Go, and Dockerfile.
Moreover, VS Code allows you to add on and even create new extensions including
code linters, debuggers, and cloud and web development support. The VS Code user
interface allows for a lot of interaction compared to other text editors. To simplify user
experience, VS Code is divided into five main
regions:

▪ The activity bar

▪ The sidebar

▪ Editor groups

▪ The panel

▪ The status bar


3.1 HTML:
The HyperText Markup Language or HTML is the standard markup language for documents
designed to be displayed in a web browser. It can be assisted by technologies such as Cascading
Style Sheets (CSS) and scripting languages such as JavaScript. Web browsers receive HTML
documents from a web server or from local storage and render the documents into multimedia
web pages. HTML describes the structure of a web page semantically and originally included
cues for the appearance of the document.

Furthermore, HTML forms can be augmented with client-side scripting languages like
JavaScript to add dynamic behavior and interactivity. Through event handling and DOM
manipulation, developers can create responsive forms that update dynamically based on user
input, validate data in real-time, and provide instant feedback to users.

Beyond its role in static web pages, HTML serves as the foundation for building dynamic web
applications. When combined with CSS for styling and JavaScript for interactivity, HTML
forms the basis of the modern web development stack. CSS enables developers to control the
visual presentation of HTML elements, defining styles for fonts, colors, layouts, and
animations. JavaScript, on the other hand, adds behavior to web pages, allowing for dynamic
content updates, user interaction, and integration with external APIs.

Together, HTML, CSS, and JavaScript empower developers to create immersive and interactive
web experiences that engage users across devices and platforms. From simple websites to
complex web applications, the trio of technologies enables endless possibilities for creativity
and innovation on the web.
3.2 CSS:
CSS, or Cascading Style Sheets, complements HTML by providing the means to style
and design web documents. Born out of the need for separation of content and
presentation on the web, CSS emerged as a powerful styling language that allows
developers to control the appearance of HTML elements across different devices and
screen sizes.

At its core, CSS operates on a simple principle: selectors target HTML elements, and
declarations define the visual properties applied to those elements. Selectors can be
based on element types, classes, IDs, attributes, or even their relationship to other
elements in the document. For example, the selector h1 targets all <h1> elements, while
.header targets elements with the class "header".

CSS declarations consist of a property and a value, separated by a colon and terminated
by a semicolon. Properties represent the aspect of an element to be styled, such as color,
font size, margin, padding, or background image. Values specify the desired appearance
for the property, such as specific colors, dimensions, units, or keywords.

CSS empowers developers to create visually appealing and responsive designs for web
pages. By applying styles to HTML elements, developers can control the layout,
typography, colors, and spacing of content, ensuring a consistent and cohesive user
experience. Media queries allow for the creation of responsive designs that adapt to
different screen sizes and orientations, catering to the diverse array of devices used to
access the web.

Furthermore, CSS enables the creation of sophisticated visual effects and animations
that enhance the interactivity and engagement of web pages. Through properties like
transform, transition, animation, and filter, developers can bring elements to life with
smooth transitions, transformations, and dynamic effects. These animations not only
add visual interest but also provide valuable feedback to users, improving the usability
and intuitiveness of web interfaces.
3.3 JavaScript:
JavaScript often abbreviated JS, is a programming language that is one of the core
technologies of the World Wide Web, alongside HTML and CSS. JavaScript is a high-level,
often just-in-time compiled language that conforms to the ECMAScript standard.[14] It has
dynamic typing, prototype-based object-orientation, and first-class functions. It is multi-
paradigm, supporting event-driven, functional, and imperative programming styles. It has
application programming interfaces (APIs) for working with text, dates, regular expressions,
standard data structures, and the Document Object Model (DOM).

• Client-side: It supplies objects to control a browser and its Document Object Model
(DOM). Like if client-side extensions allow an application to place elements on an
HTML form and respond to user events such as mouse clicks, form input, and page
navigation. Useful libraries for the client-side are AngularJS, ReactJS, VueJS and so
many others.

• Server-side: It supplies objects relevant to running JavaScript on a server. Like if the


server-side extensions allow an application to communicate with a database, and
provide continuity of information from one invocation to another of the application, or
perform file manipulations on a server. The useful framework which is the most famous
these days is node.js.

• Imperative language – In this type of language we are mostly concerned about how it
is to be done. It simply controls the flow of computation. The procedural programming
approach, object oriented approach comes under this like async await. We are thinking
what it is to be done further after async call.

• Declarative programming – In this type of language we are concerned about how it is


to be done, basically here logical computation requires. Here
the main goal is to describe the desired result without direct dictation on how to get it
like the arrow function Do
3.4 Google Books API:

Google APIs are a suite of tools and services provided by Google, allowing developers
to integrate various Google products into their applications and websites. These APIs
provide access to a wide range of functionalities, including authentication, data
storage, maps, machine learning, and more. Developers can leverage Google APIs to
enhance their applications with features such as location-based services, natural
language processing, and personalized recommendations. Through well-documented
endpoints and SDKs for popular programming languages, Google APIs empower
developers to build powerful and innovative applications that interact seamlessly with
Google's ecosystem.

The new Google Books API v1 gives us programmatic access to many of the operations
available on Google Books website. You can use it to create powerful applications that
provide deeper integration with Google Books. Some of the main features that the API
provides are:

• Search and Browse through the list of books that match a given query.
• View information about a book, including metadata, availability and price,
links to the preview page.

physical books with them; instead, they can carry their entire library in a compact digital
format, making reading on-the-go effortless and hassle-free.

• Personalization: Bookiee employs sophisticated algorithms to provide personalized


recommendations and tailored content suggestions to users. By analyzing users' reading
preferences, browsing history, and interactions with the platform, Bookiee can offer
customized book recommendations that align with users' interests and tastes. This
personalization enhances the user experience, helping readers discover new authors, genres,
and titles they may not have encountered otherwise.

• Community Engagement: Bookiee fosters a sense of community among its users through
various interactive features and social networking tools. Users can participate in virtual
book clubs, engage in discussions with fellow readers, and even interact with authors
through Q&A sessions or live events. This sense of community creates opportunities for
readers to connect, collaborate, and share their love of literature, enriching the overall
reading experience.

• Accessibility: Accessibility is a key priority for Bookiee, and the platform offers features
designed to ensure that e-books are accessible to users of all backgrounds and abilities. This
includes features such as screen reader compatibility for visually impaired users,

Limitations:
• Dependency on Digital Devices: While digital devices offer convenience and flexibility
for accessing e-books, they also create a dependency on technology. Some users may
prefer the tactile experience of reading physical books or may not have access to digital
devices and reliable internet connectivity, limiting their ability to enjoy e-books on
Bookiee.

• Potential for Distractions: Reading e-books on digital devices exposes users to potential
distractions such as notifications, emails, and social media alerts. These distractions can
disrupt the reading experience and hinder concentration, detracting from the immersive
and uninterrupted experience of reading a physical book.

• Digital Rights Management (DRM) Restrictions: Some e-books available on Bookiee


may be subject to digital rights management (DRM) restrictions imposed by publishers
or copyright holders. These restrictions may limit users' ability to share, copy, or transfer
e-books to other devices, thereby restricting their usage and flexibility compared to
physical books.

• Eye Strain: Prolonged exposure to digital screens can lead to eye strain and discomfort
for some users, particularly those who spend extended periods reading e-books on
electronic devices. This can be mitigated by taking regular breaks, adjusting screen
settings, or using e-readers with e-ink displays that mimic the appearance of paper.

• Privacy Concerns: Bookiee may collect and store user data such as reading preferences,
browsing history, and demographic information for personalization and analytics
purposes. While this data may enhance the user experience by providing personalized
recommendations, it also raises privacy concerns regarding the collection and use of
personal information. Users should review Bookiee's privacy policies and take
necessary precautions to protect their privacy and data security.
