Difference between DataSet and DataReader

Data Reader
i) Data Reader is readonly so we can't do any transaction on them.
ii) Data Reader will be the best choice where we need to show the data to the user which requires no transaction.
iii) Data Reader is like a forward only recordset. It fetches one row at a time so very less network cost compare to DataSet(Fethces all the rows at a time). As DataReader is forward only so we can't fetch data randomly.
iv) .NET Data Providers optimizes the datareader to handle huge amount of data.

DataSet
i) DataSet is an in memory representation of a collection of Database objects including tables of a relational database schemas.
ii) DataSet is always a bulky object that requires a lot of memory space compare to DataReader.
iii) DataSet fetches all data from the datasource at a time to its memory area. So we can traverse through the object to get the required data like querying database.
iv) DataSet can have relationship between the fetched tables.

Javascript - Unanswered questions - Part 1

What is Event delegation? Event delegation is Javascript as it relates to the DOM. It basically means that if you attach an event listener to a DOM element that listener is not only firing on that DOM element. It's actually firing on every children in that. So, for instance if you have a navigation and so you've got an unordered list you've got list items and then you've got anchor tags inside that navigation what you have. If you add an event listener to the ul element in essence you're actually adding event listener to all of the children as well. In short, JS event listeners fir not only on a single DOM element but on all its descendants. What is Event Bubbling? It's actually inverse of Event delegation. Also known as propagation, events on an DOM element will bubble up and also fire on all parents.  What's the difference between "target" and "currentTarget"? target is the actual element that triggered the event for example clicked, wh...

What's Virtual DOM?

There’s no big difference between the regular DOM and the virtual DOM. It’s better to think of the virtual DOM as React’s local and simplified copy of the HTML DOM. It allows React to do its computations within this abstract world and skip the real DOM operations, often slow and browser-specific. Real DOM operations are really really expensive. The Virtual DOM is an abstraction of the HTML DOM. It is lightweight and detached from the browser-specific implementation details.  One thing you should remember that the DOM itself was already an abstraction. So, Virtual DOM is an abstraction of an abstraction. :)
