Dynamically add content to HTML page

Question

I have a pretty good understanding of HTML and CSS (including Bootstrap), I feel I'm ready to have some user interaction, and adding dynamic content to my html pages.

My question is, where do I start to learn to achieve this?

For example, what languages do I need to learn to dynamically add news articles to a specific webpage? I can obviously include articles in the code (using a mixture of heading and paragraph elements), but obviously that would require a redeployment of code every time a change is made.

Any help and/or direction of helpful sites would be very grateful.

Answer 1

The basic language of client-side interaction is JavaScript. Definitely start with native JavaScript, as in just the language itself.

After that, you have a lot of frameworks to choose from that use JS like JQuery and AngularJS to name the two that seem most relevant to what you want to achieve. Each have their quirks, but all are written in JS or EcmaScript so after obtaining a foundation in JS, its just a matter of learning the framework rather than syntax.

I advise you to learn with online demo or courses. You can make a lot of things with this language but he's free so you must avoid learning to use it incorrectly.
