So, now you’ve outlined your code and written pseudocode. It’s time to write the actual code! Here’s my advice for writing your own stand-alone code and getting better at problem-solving. How to use tutorials I know the title of this series is “Moving Past Tutorials”, but if you haven’t used the technology that you are supposed to for...
Functional programming is a great discipline to learn and apply when writing JavaScript. Writing stateless, idempotent, side-effect free code really does solve a lot of problems: It’s easier to test It’s easier to debug It’s easier to reproduce issues But there’s a growing impression in the community that functional programming is an all-or-nothing practice. It’s...
Python is considered as one of the languages with the simplest syntax, along with the huge applicability. There are some common mistakes that developers make when working with the language. Here are some of the most common mistakes that Python developers make. 1. Error handling Errors in Python have a very specific form, called a...
A truly monstrous async web chat using no JS whatsoever on the frontend. Wait what This is an asynchronous chat that sends + receives messages in the browser with no reloads and no javascript. Ok so how Background-images loaded via pseudoselectors + a forever-loading index page (remember Comet?). Say that again? Ok, so there are two...
Microsoft is making big changes to .NET this year and next. The next big .NET release after .NET Core 3.0 will be .NET 5. With the .NET 5 release, there will be a single .NET, which can be used to target Windows, Linux, macOS, iOS, Android, tvOS, watchOS, WebAssembly, and more. This single .NET platform...
When people say IDE most of the time they mean just glorified text editor, sometimes with the debugger, sometimes with autocompletion. In my opinion, the text editor is not enough to qualify as a development environment. As well we will need: a compiler (or interpreter, or transpiler, etc) an automation tool (make or similar) a package...
When you think of Fortran you probably think of punched cards and green bar paper. While it is true that Fortran isn’t the go-to language it used to be — pun unintentional — it still has a vibrant community of people who do serious number crunching. However, many members of that community have been seduced...
All algorithms implemented in Python (for education) These implementations are for demonstration purposes. They are less efficient than the implementations in the Python standard library. Sorting Algorithms Bubble Sort Bubble sort, sometimes referred to as sinking sort, is a simple sorting algorithm that repeatedly steps through the list to be sorted, compares each pair of adjacent...
If you have been using JavaScript for a few years, you are probably familiar with this syntax: function addTen(num){ return num + 10; }); console.log(addTen(10)); //20 This function syntax was popular in ES5, or ECMAScript 5. There is one major advantage to this syntax: It includes the word function, so it is obvious that you...
Javascript is a single threaded asynchronous language. What does that mean? It means it cannot multi-task, but can pause execution of one task to do something else and switch back and forth between tasks so as to maximise performance. It makes sense because javascript is a browser language, and browsers need to make network calls...
How you could use defaultdict and Counter to make your code short and readable Learning a language is easy. Whenever I start with a new language, I focus on a few things in below order, and it is a breeze to get started with writing code in any language. Operators and Data Types: +,-,int,float,str Conditional statements: if,else,case,switch...
Under the Hood Have you ever found yourself writing code and wondering exactly what is going on under the hood? How does programming really work? In an attempt to peel back at least one of the curtains, Jessica Betts and I created our own Esoteric Programming Language based on Lord of the Rings lore called My_Precious. There are many...
Hello guys, if you have been doing Programming then you know that continuos learning is very important. You need to keep yourself up-to-date and always try to improve. To reiterate this point, Recently, I have written some articles about what Java developers should learn this year, like programming languages, libraries, and frameworks, but if you want just one...
As a developer, you have the power to change the world! You can write programs that enable new technologies. For instance, develop software to find an earlier diagnosis of diseases. But, that’s not the only way, you might do it indirectly by creating projects that make people more productive and help them free up time...

This morning I stumbled across Griffith – a React-based web video player. That’s cool and all, but you know what’d be even cooler? A web video player that we all can use. There’s a recurring theme in open source where TECHNOLOGY_X gets popular and then a bunch of libraries and tools get created specifically for (or ported to) TECHNOLOGY_X, but they...
Like most people, I have a hard time understanding Functional Programming. Following the same path as many others. I spent hours scratching my head watching youtube, reading blogs and attending talks. All in aid off a finding better understanding. But, In a surprise twist. The thing that joined all the confusing dots together was not...
“Agile software development” is a great idea that’s been overcomplicated by the publishing and consulting industries. Agile Lite is an attempt to simplify the situation. You do not need a book or a workshop to explain Agile Lite. You just need a text file with several paragraphs. This is that text file. Agile Lite is...
