INTEGRATIVE PROGRAMMING CAN REFER TO
TWO DIFFERENT THINGS:
1. Integrating software components:

This is the more common meaning. In this context, integrative

programming deals with the techniques and approaches for
combining existing software components to form a complete system.
It's the "glue" that connects different parts of an IT system. This can
involve:

a. System integration: Connecting different systems, even if they use

different technologies, platforms, or programming languages.
b. Application integration: Sharing data and functionality between
different applications.
c. Data integration: Combining data from multiple sources into a
single, unified format.
INTEGRATIVE PROGRAMMING CAN REFER TO
TWO DIFFERENT THINGS:
2. Combining different programming paradigms:

Less commonly, integrative programming can also refer to a specific

programming paradigm that combines different styles of programming, such as
object-oriented, functional, and declarative programming, within a single project.
This allows programmers to leverage the strengths of different paradigms to create
more flexible and powerful solutions.

Here are some additional things to know about integrative programming:

1. It often involves using different communication mechanisms and data

standardization techniques to ensure smooth interaction between components.
2. It can be challenging due to the potential for compatibility issues and the need to
understand different technologies.
3. It is becoming increasingly important as software systems become more complex
and interconnected.

TWO DIFFERENT APPROACHES TO
PROGRAMMING LANGUAGES
They differ in how they are translated into machine code, which is the language that
computers understand.

Compiled languages

1. Compilation: Compiled languages are translated into machine code before they can
be run. This translation is done by a program called a compiler. The compiler reads the
source code of the program and translates it into machine code that is specific to the
target machine.
2. Advantages: Compiled programs tend to be faster and more efficient than
interpreted programs because they do not need to be translated every time they are
run. They also have more direct access to the hardware, which can give them better
performance.
3. Disadvantages: Compiled programs are not as portable as interpreted programs.
This means that they cannot be run on just any machine without being recompiled.
Additionally, the compilation process can be time-consuming.
4. Examples: C, C++, Java, Fortran
TWO DIFFERENT APPROACHES TO
PROGRAMMING LANGUAGES
They differ in how they are translated into machine code, which is the language that
computers understand.

Interpreted languages

1. Interpretation: Interpreted languages are translated into machine code on the fly,
line by line, as the program is being run. This translation is done by a program called
an interpreter.
2. Advantages: Interpreted languages are more portable than compiled languages
because they do not need to be compiled for a specific machine. They are also easier
to learn and use because they do not require a separate compilation step.
3. Disadvantages: Interpreted programs tend to be slower and less efficient than
compiled programs because they need to be translated every time they are run. They
also have less direct access to the hardware, which can limit their performance.

APPLICATION VERSUS SCRIPTING
LANGUAGES
Application Languages:

• Purpose: Build full-fledged software applications with complex functionalities, user

interfaces, and data management.
• Examples: C++, Java, C#, Python (large applications), Go
• Characteristics:
o Compiled: Often compiled for performance and efficiency.
o Complex syntax: Require more in-depth programming knowledge.
o Structured development: Often use specific paradigms like Object-Oriented
Programming (OOP).
o Resource-intensive: Can demand more processing power and memory.
o Applications: Games, operating systems, business applications, web servers,
desktop apps.
KEY DIFFERENCES: APPLICATION VERSUS
SCRIPTING LANGUAGES
1. Scope: Applications are bigger undertakings, while scripts are
focused on specific tasks.
2. Complexity: Applications have more complex structures and
paradigms, while scripts are often simpler and easier to write.
3. Performance: Compiled applications generally run faster, while
interpreted scripts can be slower but flexible.
4. Development Time: Building applications usually takes longer
and requires more planning, while scripts can be quicker to
write and test.

Scikit-learn.
2. R: Another prominent language for statistical analysis and
data visualization.
3. Julia: Gaining traction for scientific computing and machine
learning due to its speed and ease of use.
PROMINENT SCRIPTING LANGUAGES

General-Purpose Scripting:

1. Python: A highly versatile language used for web

development, data science, automation, and more.

JAVASCRIPT
JS
JAVASCRIPT

JavaScript (often abbreviated as JS) is a powerful and versatile

programming language that plays a crucial role in modern web
development.
WHAT IT IS

• Web's Core Technology:

 Along with HTML and CSS, JavaScript forms the foundation of most
websites. It brings them to life by adding interactivity, dynamic content,
and complex features.
• Scripting Language:
 It's designed for smaller, more focused tasks compared to general-
purpose languages like Python or Java. It excels at manipulating webpage
elements and handling user interactions.
• Client-Side and Server-Side:
 Traditionally, JavaScript ran directly in web browsers (client-side), making
webpages interactive. Now, it also powers server-side applications using
frameworks like Node.js.
WHAT IT DOES:

• Interactive Elements:
 From clickable buttons and menus to animated graphics and real-time
updates, JavaScript adds responsiveness and user engagement to
websites.
• Data Manipulation:
 It can collect and process user input, handle complex calculations, and
store and retrieve data locally or on servers.
• Game Development:
 JavaScript is also used to create engaging web-based games, often in
combination with HTML5 canvas and WebGL.
• Mobile Apps:
 Frameworks like React Native allow developers to build mobile apps using
JavaScript, saving time and resources.
WHAT IT DOES:

• Ubiquitous:
 With nearly 99% of websites using JavaScript, it's essential for anyone
involved in web development to understand it.
• Versatile:
 Its diverse applications go beyond websites, making it a valuable skill for
various digital projects.
• Accessible:
 Compared to other languages, JavaScript has a relatively gentle learning
curve, making it a good starting point for programming beginners.

EXAMPLE
Page that has a button. Once the button is clicked it shows the date and time

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>

<h2>My First JavaScript</h2>

<button type="button"
onclick="document.getElementById('demo').innerHTML = Date()">
Click me to display Date and Time.</button>

<p id="demo">replace me</p>

</body>
</html>
EXAMPLE
Description of the JavaScript code

• getElementById()
 a method used to retrieve an HTML element from the document by its
unique ID. It is part of the Document Object Model (DOM) API, which
provides a structured representation of the HTML document and allows
JavaScript to interact with the elements on the page.
• innerHTML
 property is used to get or set the HTML content (including any nested
HTML elements) of an element.
• Date()
 is an object is used to work with dates and times. It provides methods for
creating, getting, and setting dates, as well as for performing various
operations related to dates and times.
EXAMPLE
Description of the JavaScript code

JavaScript Event Handler:

• onclick="document.getElementById('demo').innerHTML = Date()”
 This part of the code executes JavaScript when the button is clicked.

• onclick
 is an attribute tells the browser to run the specified JavaScript code
when the click event occurs.
EXAMPLE
Description of the JavaScript code

JavaScript Logic:

• document.getElementById('demo').innerHTML = Date()
o document.getElementById('demo’)
 finds an element with the ID "demo" within the HTML document.
o .innerHTML = ...
 modifies the inner content (text) of that element.
o Date()
 is a built-in JavaScript function that returns the current date and time.
EXAMPLE
Description of the JavaScript code

Text Element:

• <p id="demo">replace me</p>

 This creates a paragraph element with the ID "demo".
 The text "replace me" serves as a placeholder, indicating where the date
and time will be displayed.
