Iteration
Iteration is the act of repeating a process, or cycling through a collection. Iteration is one of the fundamental flow control tools available to developers.
Attribute manipulation
Getting and setting HTML attributes is one of the most common coding tasks of that changes something on a web page.
Element spacing
Setting the margins and padding of the elements on a web page is one of the basic things that any web developer or designer should know.
Pass by reference
The call by reference method of passing arguments to a function copies the reference of an argument into the formal parameter. Inside the function, the reference is used to access the actual argument used in the call. This means that changes made to the parameter affect the passed argument. This is one of two possible ways for passing an argument to a function so it should be known to any developer.
Constraints
Constraints are used to define rules and relationships. They are applied to a dataset. A constraint may take many forms, such as x ≤ 5 in a programming language and a NOT NULL constraint in a SQL table definition.
Create table
The CREATE TABLE statement is used to create a new table in a database. It is an essential command when creating new database.
Database schema
A database schema defines how data is stored in a database. An SQL database uses a schema to define tables consisting of rows and columns that use fixed data types to store data. Formalizing how data is stored is the first step towards building an application or service.
Select
The SELECT statement is used to select data from a database. It is the most used SQL command.
Create index
The CREATE INDEX statement is used to create indexes for tables. Indexes are used to retrieve data from the database more quickly. They are very important for making performant queries.

Bookmarks
A bookmark is a hyperlink that points to a location within a document, which is defined by a name that is assigned to an element. Bookmarks are used when we need to jump to a specific location within a document.
Elements and attributes
Defining elements and their attributes is the first process in creating an HTML page.
Associative arrays
An associative array (or dictionary) is a data type composed of a collection of key-value pairs, where each possible key appears at most once in the collection. It is used when we need to access items by their keys.
Linked list
A linked list is a linear collection of data elements where each element points to the next. It is a data structure consisting of a collection of nodes which together represent a sequence. It is usually used for advanced scenarios where we need fast access to the next element, or when we need to remove an element from anywhere in the collection.
Aggregation
An aggregate function is typically used in database queries to group together multiple rows to form a single value of meaningful data. A good programmer should be skilled at using data aggregation functions when interacting with databases.
Subqueries
Subqueries are commonly used in database interactions, making it important for a programmer to be skilled at writing them.
Fonts

LEFT JOIN is one of the ways to merge rows from two tables. We use it when we also want to show rows that exist in one table, but don't exist in the other table.
Asynchronous calls
Calling methods asynchronously is a common task for programmers.
Indexes
The proper implementation and use of indexes are important for improving the performance of database queries.
Union
The UNION operator is used to combine the result-set of two or more SELECT statements. It is often used when a report needs to be made based on multiple tables.
Group by
The GROUP BY statement groups rows by some attribute into summary rows. It is a common command when making various reports.
Update
The UPDATE statement is used to modify the existing records in a table and is one of the most used operations for working with the database.
Insert
Even though most database insert queries are simple, a good programmer should know how to handle more complicated situations like batch inserts.
Joins
A normalized database is normally made up of multiple tables. Joins are, therefore, required to query across multiple tables.
Animation
Animation is the process in which images or objects are manipulated to appear as if they are moving. It's a powerful effect that is important for UI designers to understand and be able to use.
Regex
A regular expression (regex) is a special text string for describing a search pattern. It is a common way for extracting data from text.
JSON
JSON is an open-standard format that uses human-readable text to transmit data objects consisting of attribute-value pairs. It's the most common data format used for asynchronous browser/server communication.
Serialization
Familiarity with data serialization to and from formats such as XML and JSON is important as it is commonly used for interprocess communication
Sorting
Every programmer should be familiar with data-sorting methods, as sorting is very common in data-analysis processes.
Content manipulation
Adding or modifying content is the most common task when developing dynamic web pages.
Forms
Forms provide a method of grouping inputs and collecting user data. As such, they are important for all front end developers.
Objects
An object is a self-contained component which consists of methods and properties to make a particular type of data useful. Knowing how to create objects, and work with them, is an essential part of OOP.
Tables
A table stores data as rows and columns. From databases to HTML layouts, as a data structure they are ubiquitous. They are an important structure for developers to understand and know how to use.
Inheritance
In object-oriented programming, inheritance is the mechanism of basing a class upon another class, retaining similar implementation. Inheritance allows programmers to reuse code and is a must know topic for every programmer who works with OOP languages.
OOP
Object-oriented programming is a paradigm based on encapsulating logic and data into objects, which may then contain fields and procedures. Many of the most widely used programming languages are based on OOP, making it a very important concept in modern programming.
Delete
The delete statement is used to delete records in a table and is one of the four basic CRUD functions (create, read, update, and delete) required for working with any persistent storage.
Callback
A callback is a piece of code that can be passed as an argument to another bit of code. It's a very common pattern that has a wide variety of uses, and as such it's important to understand.
Algorithmic thinking
When designing and/or analyzing an algorithm or data structure, it is important to consider the performance and structure of an implementation. Algorithmic thinking is one of the key traits of a good programmer, especially one working on complex or performance-critical code.
Classes
A class is one of the most widely used and primary structures used in object-oriented programming. As such it's important for any developer to have a working knowledge of how to use it.

ECMAScript 2015 adds a significant number of features to JavaScript, including classes, modules and range based loops. As such it's important for any JavaScript developer to understand.
Borders
Borders can be applied to most HTML elements within the body. This is one of the most used element decorations.
Inline styles
Inline styles are styles that are applied directly on elements. This is one of the ways for applying styles and for some scenarios, such as for email, is the only supported way.
SQL CASE
The CASE statement is SQL's control statement. It goes through conditions and returns a value.
Recursion
A good programmer should be familiar with when to use recursive functions, since they can provide elegant solutions for complex problems.
Hyperlink
Hyperlink, or simply a link, is a reference to data that the reader can follow by clicking or tapping. There's no web page without a hyperlink.
IFrame
The HTML Inline Frame element (iframe) represents a nested browsing context, embedding another HTML page into the current one. Web developers often use it to display content within other content.
Semantic tags
HTML5 introduced semantic tags, which can greatly improve the level of automated analysis that can be done on documents, as well as improve the readability of HTML.
Accessibility
Accessibility refers to the design of products, devices, services, or environments for people who experience disabilities. It's important for all designers and developers to know how to optimize for people who experience disabilities.
CSS layout
Cascading Style Sheets are the styling language of the web. For a front-end developer, a knowledge of CSS layouts is required.
Integer division
Integer division is division in which the fractional part (remainder) is discarded. Knowing this is important for optimal implementation of some algorithms and for avoiding common bugs.
Timing Events
JavaScript can be executed in time-intervals. JavaScript developers use timing events to delay the execution of certain code, or to repeat code at a specific interval. Knowledge of timing events is necessary to implement features that have time as a factor.
Right join
RIGHT JOIN is one of the ways to merge rows from two tables. We use it when we also want to show rows that exist in one table, but don't exist in the other table.
Database normalization
Database normalization is the process of structuring a relational database in accordance with a series of so-called normal forms in order to reduce data redundancy and improve data integrity. It should be used to avoid undesirable side-effects such as update, insert, and delete anomalies.
Interfaces
An interface is used to define an abstract type that defines behaviors as method signatures. Instances of different types can implement the same interface and provide a way for a developer to reuse the code.
XML
Extensible Markup Language (XML) is a markup language that defines a set of rules for encoding documents in a format that is both human-readable and machine-readable. The design goals of XML emphasize simplicity, generality, and usability across the Internet. This is one of the most used formats for exchanging data over the web.
Dictionary
A dictionary (or associative array) is a data type composed of a collection of key-value pairs, where each possible key appears at most once in the collection. It is used when we need to access items by their keys.
Element size
Setting the size of the elements on a web page is one of the basic things that any web developer or designer should know.
Method overriding
Method overriding, in object-oriented programming, is a language feature that allows a subclass to provide a specific implementation of a method that is already provided by one of its parent classes.
CTE
A CTE (Common Table Expression) is a temporary result set that can be referenced within another SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, or DELETE statement. Recursive CTEs can reference themselves, which enables developers to work with hierarchical data.
Ajax
Ajax, which initially stood for Asynchronous JavaScript And XML, is a programming practice of building complex, dynamic webpages using a technology known as XMLHttpRequest. Knowledge of Ajax is important for web developers.
HTTP
The Hypertext Transfer Protocol is the foundation of data communication on the World Wide Web. As such, it's important for all developers who work on internet applications and websites to understand this.
