Dom Manipulation

While reading about DOM Manipulation, I learned quite a few new things from what I had already learned in class. First of all, DOM Manipulation refers to the Document Object Model, "which is the root of all objects on the web page...[and] represents the structure of a document and connects the page to the programming languages." One thing that I learned is that you can actually create document elements through DOM Manipulation, which I did not know. To do this, you simply document.createElement and this will create a new element for you. On the first blog post, the author decided to do a very simple rundown of what exactly DOM is at its most basic level. The second blogpost was centered around the idea that rather than using jquery, DOM manipulation can be used instead. This author also then went into the basics of DOM Manipulation, but significantly more in-depth than the previous author. A third author chose 15 DOM manipulation methods and went over what they are and how to use them specifically. I would say that the authors didn't necessarily disagree, as they all took different vantage points on the same subject. The third article made the most sense to me because the author descriptively made note of all of the major ways one can use DOM Manipulation and the best way to execute DOM manipulation. I bookmarked this article so that I can refer back to it throughout my time at Turing!
