HTML:-

HTML (Hypertext Markup Language) was developed to address the need to easily display
content via a web-browser. It is a 'markup language (unlike a typical programming language), in
that its commands (tags) are designed to assist in the formatting and layout of textual data. It by
definition is a 'static' language, in that the content displayed using the standard HTML language
will always look the same it will not change over time or by who accessed it. Due to this major
limiting factor of the language in this modern world of dynamic. data-driven websites, a variety
of extensions to HTML and related programming languages have been developed JavaScript,
Microsoft's ASP (Active Server Pages), Java Applets and Applications, PHP, others

CSS :-

CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) is a fundamental language used in web development to define
the visual presentation of HTML documents. It plays a crucial role in separating content from
presentation, allowing developers to maintain cleaner and more organized code. CSS syntax is
relatively simple, consisting of selectors, properties, and values. Selectors target specific
HTML elements, while properties define visual characteristics such as colors, fonts, and layout.

One of the key features of CSS is its cascading nature, where styles can be inherited from parent
elements and overridden by more specific selectors. Understanding the box model is essential in
CSS development, as it dictates how elements are rendered on a webpage, including content,
padding, borders, and margins.

JAVASCRIPT :-

JavaScript is a versatile programming language commonly used in web development to add

interactivity and dynamic behavior to HTML documents. Unlike CSS, which focuses on styling
and presentation, JavaScript is a scripting language that enables developers to create interactive
elements, manipulate the content of web pages, and respond to user actions.

JavaScript syntax is similar to other programming languages, consisting of variables, data

types, operators, control structures (such as loops and conditionals), functions, and objects.
These elements allow developers to write code that performs tasks like validating form inputs,
handling user events (such as clicks and key presses), and updating page content dynamically.

One of the key features of JavaScript is its ability to manipulate the Document Object Model
(DOM), which represents the structure of HTML documents as a hierarchical tree of nodes. By

13
accessing and modifying DOM elements through JavaScript, developers can create dynamic
and interactive user interfaces.

NODE-JS :-
Node.js is a JavaScript runtime environment that allows developers to run JavaScript code on
the server-side. It uses non-blocking, event-driven architecture for efficient handling of
asynchronous I/O operations. Node.js is built on Chrome's V8 JavaScript engine and comes
with a built-in package manager called npm. It is well-suited for building real-time web
applications, APIs, and microservices due to its lightweight nature and ability to handle large
numbers of concurrent connections.

MONGO-DB :-

MongoDB is a NoSQL database management system that uses a document-oriented data model.
It stores data in flexible, JSON-like documents, making it easy to work with and scale. MongoDB
is known for its flexibility, scalability, and performance. It is widely used for building modern
web applications, handling large volumes of data, and supporting real-time analytics.
Additionally, MongoDB offers features like indexing, aggregation, and replication, making it
suitable for a wide range of use cases, from simple applications to complex enterprise systems

 Diagrams

USE CASE DIAGRAM:

A Use case is a description of set of sequence of actions. Graphically it is rendered as an ellipse

with solid line including only its name. Use case diagram is a behavioural diagram that shows a
set of use cases and actors and their relationship. It is an association between the use cases and
actors. An actor represents a real-world object. Primary Actor – Sender, Secondary Actor
Receiver

CLASS DIAGRAM :

Class Diagrams are widely used to describe the types of objects in a system and their
relationships. Class Diagrams model class structure, and contents using design elements
such as classes, packages and objects. Classes are composed of three things:
They are as follows:
• Name

15
 • Attributes
• Operations

E-R DIAGRAM :

ER Diagram stands for Entity Relationship Diagram, also known as ERD is a diagram that
displays the relationship of entity sets stored in a database. In other words, ER diagrams help to
explain the logical structure of databases. ER diagrams are created based on three basic
concepts: entities, attributes and relationships.
