Django is a great application framework for Python and web applications. You can use it to greatly speed up your database and application development both on the web and on the command line. This tutorial is currently a very rough draft; it probably won’t be very useful without the assistance of someone who knows Django running the tutorial. If I ever run this tutorial a second time, I’ll probably update it with screenshots to make it more usable for individuals. (Jan 11, 2012)

This is a guide that anyone could use to learn about the practice of front-end development. It broadly outlines and discusses the practice of front-end engineering: how to learn it and what tools are used when practicing it in 2017. It is specifically written with the intention of being a professional resource for potential and currently practicing front-end developers to equip themselves with learning materials and development tools. Secondarily, it can be used by managers, CTOs, instructors, and head hunters to gain insights into the practice of front-end development. The content of the handbook favors web technologies (HTML, CSS, DOM, and JavaScript) and those solutions that are directly built on top of these open technologies. The materials referenced and discussed in the book are either best in class or the current offering to a problem. The book should not be considered a comprehensive outline of all resources available to a front-end developer. The value of the book is tied up in a terse, focused, and timely curation of just enough categorical information so as not to overwhelm anyone on any one particular subject matter.

Le déploiement est un des points clefs du développement d'une application. C'est le

processus permettant la mise à disposition d'une application à des utilisateurs.

ClickOnce est un framework de déploiement créé par Microsoft en 2005. Il permet aux

utilisateurs d'installer une application par un simple clic sur une page web. Il est disponible

depuis la sortie du Framework .NET 2.0.

Il fonctionne un peu comme le « Java Web Start » de Java.

ClickOnce offre l'énorme avantage de permettre la mise à jour automatique et intelligente

des applications déployées. Lorsque l'utilisateur lance une application ClickOnce, cette

dernière vérifie si une nouvelle mise à jour est disponible ; si oui elle propose son

installation.

Il est adapté à applications relativement petites. Ne vous attendez donc pas à le voir faire

des miracles avec des jeux XNA ou des grosses applications.

ClickOnce est utilisable dans tous les langages utilisant le framework .NET. Nous utiliserons

dans ce tutoriel un assistant de déploiement propre au VB.NET et au C#. Si vous comptez

déployer du Delphi ou du F# par exemple, l'installation sera plus compliquée.

L'assistant publication, que j'utilise ici, est disponible depuis la version 2005 de Visual

Studio. Dans ce tutoriel, j'utilise Visual Studio Community 2015, qui est gratuit.

About JAVA

“Java refers to a number of computer software products and specifications from Sun Microsystems (the JavaTM technology) that together provide a system for developing and deploying cross-platform applications. Java is used in a wide variety of computing platforms spanning from embedded devices and mobile phones on the low end to enterprise servers and super computers on the high end. Java is fairly ubiquitous in mobile phones, Web servers and enterprise applications, and somewhat less common in desktop applications, though users may have come across Java applets when browsing the Web.

Writing in the Java programming language is the primary way to produce code that will be deployed as Java bytecode, though there are compilers available for other languages such as JavaScript, Python and Ruby, and a native Java scripting language called Groovy. Java syntax borrows heavily from C and C++ but it eliminates certain low-level constructs such as pointers and has a very simple memory model where every object is allocated on the heap and all variables of object types are references. Memory management is handled through integrated automatic garbage collection performed by the Java Virtual Machine (JVM).”
