OSI reference model (eng. Open Systems Interconnection Basic Reference Model) is an abstract description of network architecture. The OSI reference model consists of seven different levels of abstraction.
Emmet is a great plugin for accelerated code writing that can be added to many well-known text editors and IDEs. It has certain abbreviations that, when combined, give a finished code that is much longer and more complex. It is installed as a plugin, and the installation depends on the IDE application in which it is implemented. I described how the Emmet plugin is installed as part of PHP Storm on the page “Installation of tools for web development”. It is used by typing the abbreviation in the editor and then pressing the “trigger button”, the default button is TAB.
There are two types of version tracking and control systems:
This is where tools like SVN, Perforce and CVS belong. With the CVC system, all version data is located on the central server, while users only have access to the current version they are working on. This principle of operation enables easier maintenance and administration, but data security is problematic if the system fails, all information is lost.
to which belong: Mercurial, Bazaar, Darcs and Git. With the DVC system, in addition to the latest version, users also download a complete database of all versions in that repository. In case of system failure, it is sufficient for only one of the clients to upload data to the server.
PHP Storm is one of the best IDEs (eng. Integrated development environment) that provides a large number of work conveniences:
This article serves as a reminder to a web developer to install all the necessary tools to work on a new or reinstalled computer. The installation of the tools that I personally use as well as some of their basic settings are described in detail. Web development covers a large number of different technologies and programming languages, therefore the list of required applications is also large.
