| |
| − |
| |
| − | [[Library (computing)|Libraries]] and [[Framework (computing)|frameworks]] are similar and overlapping concepts.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | There is no formal definition of which does what. The terms are used somewhat differently, in various sub-fields of [[computer science]]. Opinions vary from one [[software developer]] to another.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | I think of it this way:
| |
| − |
| |
| − | * A [[Library (computing)|library]] is a smaller concept: more like a toolbox
| |
| − | * A [[Framework (computing)|framework]] is a larger concept: more like an automobile (or better yet, an automobile factory)

| |
| − |
| |
| − | * Send requests from a browser
| |
| − | * Receive responses from the server
| |
| − | * Update the browser's [[Document Object Model]] -- in other words, what the user sees (or hears) in the browser.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Ajax happens without the user browsing from page to page, handled automatically by [[JavaScript]].

| − | == Horizonal rule ==
| |
| − |
| |
| − | In [[HTML]], the [[hr (HTML element)|hr element]] instructs the browser to display a [[horizontal rule]].
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Question for open discussion: how does this element relate to the [[separation of concerns]] in web design?
