JS & the DOM


In this audio, you're going to listen an interview about ''JS and the DOM'' that we have been working the past weeks,in Khan Academy. The DOM is something that gives a logical structure for many things and is related to the Javascript. Without the DOM a webpage, will be a combination of words, letters, numbers, etc. and will have the structure of a HTML code. The JavaScript is a interpreted programming language and traduces the information of the HTML codes of a webpage into an understanding language. The use of a combination of these two allows to make highly demanding and impressive websites, while mantaining the capacity to make a simpler one without much additional learning of other topics outside these, a huge advantage to both sides: the maker an the consumer of that content. We hope that the audio can be understandable, if not, please let us know.

JS and the DOM



The past week we have been working on this new topic. Its called Javascript and the DOM that means Document Object Model. Maybe you have not listen about this before but I can tell you that they are essential for the internet. The Document Object Model (DOM) is a programming API for HTML and XML documents. It defines the logical structure of documents and the way a document is accessed and manipulated. In the DOM specification, the term "document" is used in the broad sense - increasingly, XML is being used as a way of representing many different kinds of information that may be stored in diverse systems, and much of this would traditionally be seen as data rather than as documents. The JS or JavaScript is a high-level, object-based, multi-paradigm and interpreted programming language. So the JavaScript traduces the information of the HTML codes of a webpage or something else into an understanding language and structure.

Javascript and the DOM

The two main concepts of this work are the DOM and the Javascript. The DOM or Document Object Model is something that gives a logical structure for many things and is related to the Javascript. Without the DOM a webpage, will be a combination of words, letters, numbers, etc. and will have the structure of a HTML code. The JS or JavaScript is a high-level, object-based, multi-paradigm and interpreted programming language. So the JavaScript traduces the information of the HTML codes of a webpage or something else into an understanding language and structure. While Javascript is used to give the page more interactivity, the DOM is used to manipulate those JavaScript changes. So both of them are very important, but I consider necessarily the JavaScript, but the DOM is still being really necessary.

Here's an interview in which I answer some question about the topic:

JS and the DOM


Web pages tended to be pretty dull in the early stages of the internet. Just plain white wallpapers with some text and images at best. Then, websites started getting more and more elaborate, with more and more side-pages to navigate under the same address. But more things need better organisation, and sites were still a bit dull and quite static, making matters worse than they were. So, and for other porpuses, JS and Dom were introduced. The use of a combination of these two allow to make highly demanding and impressive websites, while mantaining the capacity to make a simpler one without much additional learning of other topics outside these, a huge advantage to both sides: the maker an the consumer of that content.
