What is jQuery

 jQuery is a lightweight, "write less, do more", JavaScript library.

The purpose of jQuery is to make it much easier to use JavaScript on your website.

jQuery takes a lot of common tasks that require many lines of JavaScript code to accomplish, and wraps them into methods that you can call with a single line of code. 

jQuery also simplifies a lot the complicated things from JavaScript, like AJAX calls and DOM manipulation.

The jQuery library contains the following features:

  • HTML/DOM manipulation 
  • CSS manipulation 
  • HTML event methods 
  • Effects and animations 
  • AJAX
  • Utilities
Tip: In addition, jQuery has plugins for almost any task out there.

What's a Webhook?

 A webhook is an API concept that's growing in popularity. As more and more of what we do on the web can be described by events, webhooks are becoming even more applicable. They're incredibly useful and a resource-light way to implement event reactions. So, what exactly is a webhook? A webhook is a way for an app to provide other application with real-time information. A webhook delivers data to other application as it happens, meaning you get data immediately. Unlike typical APIs where you would need to poll for data very frequently in order to get it real-time. This makes webhooks much more efficient for both provider and  consumer. The only drawback to webhooks is the difficulty of initially setting them up. Webhooks are sometimes referred to as "Reverse APIs," as they give you what amounts to an API spec, and you must design and API for the werbhook to use. The webhook will make an HTTP request to your app and you will then be charged with interpreting it.

Definition of Segmentation

 Segmentation means to divide the marketplace into parts, or segments, which are definable, accessible, actionable, and profitable and have a growth potential. In other words, a company would find it impossible to target the entire market, because of time, cost and effort restriction. it needs to have a 'definable' segment -a mass people who can be identified and targeted with reasonable effort, cost and time. Once such a mass is identified, it has to be checked that this mass can actually be targeted with the resources at hand or the segment should be accessible to the company. 

What is pip

 So, what is pip? pip is a package manager for Python. That means it’s a tool that allows you to install and manage additional libraries and dependencies that are not distributed as part of the standard library. Package management is so important that pip has been included with the Python installer since versions 3.4 for Python 3 and 2.7.9 for Python 2, and it’s used by many Python projects, which makes it an essential tool for every Pythonista. The concept of a package manager might be familiar to you if you are coming from other languages. JavaScript uses npm for package management, Ruby uses gem, and .NET use NuGet. In Python, pip has become the standard package manager. The Python installer installs pip, so it should be ready for you to use, unless you installed an old version of Python. You can verify that pip is available by running the following command in your console:
