Accept it. Under the particular domain of web development, Python has offered much more than we expected it to in the early 2000’s. It now offers multiple pre-built web frameworks that even a novice coder can utilize for the development of complex applications. Today, we will witness it. Today, we will go through the process of building a dynamic web form using one of its frameworks called Web2Py on a local machine/server.

As technologies such as Javascript took over the web site design field, the search engine programmers found that their creepy-crawlies had to evolve in order to extract the most pertinent information from the sites they visited. Here are some DO's and...

The scrolldeck.js library is probably one of the best ways out there to implement a scrolling presentation deck. All you have to do is build a web page with each slide as a div. It requires JQuery, Scrollorama, scrollTo, easing & scrolldeck JS scripts to function. After linking all of the above scripts, create the slide deck on the document ready event and configure the settings as shown: $(document).ready(function() { var deck = new $.scrolldeck({ buttons: '.nav-button', slides: '.slide',...

Media queries consist of a media type (ex. screen or print), combined with defining...
