CREATE DATABASE
mydatabase;

-- Use the newly created

database USE
mydatabase;

-- Create a table called

'users' CREATE TABLE
users (
id INT AUTO_INCREMENT
PRIMARY KEY, username
VARCHAR(50) NOT NULL, email
VARCHAR(100) NOT NULL,
created_at TIMESTAMP DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP
);

-- Insert data into the 'users' table

INSERT INTO users (username, email) VALUES ('john_doe',
'john@example.com'); INSERT INTO users (username, email)
VALUES ('jane_doe', 'jane@example.com');

-- Query data from the 'users'

table SELECT * FROM users;

-- Update data in the 'users' table

UPDATE users SET email = 'john.doe@example.com' WHERE username
= 'john_doe';
-- Delete data from the 'users' table
DELETE FROM users WHERE username = 'jane_doe';
 HTML/CSS:

HTML is used to structure the content of web pages, while CSS styles
the layout and appearance, ensuring a visually appealing and consistent
user interface.
HTML (HyperText Markup Language) and CSS (Cascading Style Sheets)
are fundamental technologies used in web development to create and
design web pages. Here's a brief overview of each:

HTML (HyperText Markup Language) :-

 Purpose: HTML is the standard language for creating web pages and
web applications. It provides the basic structure of a webpage.
 Functionality: HTML uses "tags" to denote different elements on a
page, such as headings, paragraphs, links, images, and other content.
 Structure: An HTML document is structured with elements like
<html>, <head>, and <body>. The <head> section includes
metadata and links to stylesheets or scripts, while the <body>
section contains the content that appears on the page.
 Tags: Examples of common HTML tags include:
 <h1> to <h6> for headings
 <p> for paragraphs
 <a> for hyperlinks
 <img> for images
 <div> for division or section of content
 <span> for inline elements
CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) :-

 Purpose: CSS is used to control the presentation, formatting, and

layout of web pages. It allows developers to separate the content
(HTML) from the design (CSS).

 Functionality: CSS styles HTML elements by applying properties

such as color, font size, margin, padding, and positioning.

 Structure: CSS rules are composed of selectors and declarations. A

selector points to the HTML element to be styled, and a declaration
specifies the property and value.

 Selectors: Examples of common CSS selectors include:

 Type selectors (e.g., p to style all <p> elements)
 Class selectors (e.g., .classname to style elements with a
specific class)
 ID selectors (e.g., #idname to style a single element with a
specific ID)
 Descendant selectors (e.g., div p to style <p> elements inside
<div> elements)
Sample HTML Code :-

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<title>Sample Page</title>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="styles.css">
</head>
<body>
<h1>Welcome to My Website</h1>
<p>This is a paragraph of text on my website.</p>
<a href="#">Click here</a>
</body>
</html>
Sample CSS Code :-

body {
font-family: Arial,
sans-serif;
background-color:
#f0f0f0; margin: 0;
padding: 20px;
}

h1 {
color: #333;
}

p{
color: #666;
}

a{
color: blue;
text-decoration: none;
}
 JavaScript:

JavaScript is utilized for client-side scripting to enhance interactivity

and dynamic behavior, such as form validation, AJAX requests, and DOM
manipulation.
JavaScript is a high-level, interpreted programming language that is
widely used in web development to create interactive and dynamic
content on websites. Here’s an overview of JavaScript:

Key Features of JavaScript :-

1. Interactivity: JavaScript enables interactive web pages by allowing

developers to create dynamic content that responds to user actions,
such as clicks, form submissions, and mouse movements.

2. Client-Side Execution: JavaScript code is typically executed on the

client side (in the user's web browser), which reduces the load on the
server and provides a faster, more responsive user experience.

3. Event-Driven Programming: JavaScript uses events (like clicks, key

presses, and page loads) to trigger code execution, allowing
developers to create responsive and interactive web applications.

4. Versatility: JavaScript can be used for both front-end (client-side)

and back-end (server-side) development. On the client side, it
enhances user interfaces and provides immediate feedback. On the
server side, platforms like Node.js allow JavaScript to handle server
operations and database interactions.
Core Concepts :-
 Variables: Used to store data values.
Example-
let message = "Hello, world!";

 Functions: Blocks of code designed to perform a particular task.

Example-
function greet(name) { return "Hello, " + name + "!"; }

 Events: Actions that occur in the browser, which JavaScript can

respond to.
Example-
document.getElementById("myButton").addEventListen
er("click", function() {
alert("Button clicked!"); });

 DOM Manipulation: JavaScript can manipulate the Document Object

Model (DOM), which represents the structure of a web page.
Example-
document.getElementById("myElement").textContent = "New content!";

 Asynchronous Programming: JavaScript can handle asynchronous

operations using callbacks, promises, and async/await, allowing
tasks to run in the background.
Example-
fetch("https://api.example.com/data") .then(response =>
response.json()) .then(data => console.log(data)) .catch(error =>
console.error("Error:", error));

commerce website accessible to users on the internet. This section outlines
the steps involved in deploying the website, including hosting, domain
setup, and post-deployment tasks.

Hosting
Selecting the right hosting provider is crucial for ensuring the
performance, scalability, and reliability of the e-commerce website.
Considerations when choosing a hosting provider include:

1. Server Requirements: Ensure that the hosting provider supports

NODE.JS and MongoDB, as well as any other technologies used in the
website development.

2. Scalability: Choose a hosting plan that can accommodate the

expected traffic and growth of the website. Options for scalability,
such as upgrading to higher-tier plans or adding resources as needed,
are essential.

3. Uptime and Reliability: Look for a hosting provider with a proven

track record of uptime and reliability. Check reviews and
testimonials from other users to gauge the provider's performance.

4. Security: Security features such as SSL certificates, firewalls, and

malware detection are essential for protecting user data and
maintaining the integrity of the website.

Once a hosting provider is selected, the website files and database are
uploaded to the server, and the necessary configurations are made to
ensure the website is accessible to users.
Domain Setup

A domain name is the unique address that users use to access the e-
commerce website. Domain setup involves registering a domain name and
configuring it to point to the hosting provider's servers. Steps for domain
setup include:

1. Domain Registration: Choose a domain registrar and register a

domain name that is relevant to the e-commerce website's brand and
target audience.

2. DNS Configuration: Update the domain's DNS settings to point to

the IP address of the hosting provider's servers. This allows users to
access the website using the domain name.

3. SSL Certificate Installation: Install an SSL certificate to encrypt

data transmitted between the user's browser and the server,
ensuring secure communication and protecting sensitive information
such as login credentials and payment details.

4. Email Configuration: Set up email accounts associated with the

domain for sending and receiving emails related to the website, such
as order confirmations and customer inquiries.
Post-Deployment Tasks
After the website is deployed and accessible to users, several post-
deployment tasks are necessary to ensure its smooth operation:

1. Monitoring and Maintenance: Regularly monitor the website for

performance issues, security vulnerabilities, and downtime. Perform
routine maintenance tasks such as software updates, database
backups, and security patches.

2. Search Engine Optimization (SEO): Optimize the website for

search engines to improve its visibility and ranking in search results.
This involves optimizing meta tags, keywords, and content, as well as
building backlinks and improving site speed.

3. Marketing and Promotion: Implement marketing strategies to

drive traffic to the website and increase sales. Utilize social media,
email marketing, content marketing, and other digital marketing
techniques to reach potential customers.

4. Customer Support: Provide excellent customer support to address

user inquiries, resolve issues, and ensure a positive user experience.
Implement live chat, email support, and phone support channels to
assist users with questions and concerns.
