Hello code heads. Recently, as I’ve been job seeking with every spare hour at my disposal, I’ve noticed that more and more of the companies I’m looking into are expecting an intimate knowledge of the database query language known as SQL. …

On this fortuitous Halloween, let’s talk about one of the spookiest concepts to master in the web development space. I’m talking of course about positioning. For whatever reason, getting all the disparate elements of a webpage to render in the appropriate place across all different kinds of screens can be…

Good afternoon code heads. Today I’m going to be talking about the happiest day of any coder’s life. Deployment! Taking your lovely app from its little local environment on your terminal to placing it in its rightful home, on the internet. Now most apps will have a front end and…

Greetings! I’ve recently picked up a lovely collaborator with my Donna’s Cookbook project. One thing that occurs once you’ve onboarded a fellow coder to a project you’ve been working on is the need to handle merging different work flows. If I’m building a menu bar, and someone else is building…

Hooks are one of the best reasons to use Facebook’s JS library, React. Hooks are essentially packages of code that allow a script to save state without needing to instantiate a class in which to save it. This can be handy for any number of reasons as I will explain…

I recently had the opportunity to delve into a technical problem that called for in depth knowledge of how javascript’s asynchronous functions work. In order to solidify my understanding thereof, I’m going to break down, to the best of my ability, the inner workings of these mysterious functions. First let’s…

Welcome! For today’s investigation into the behaviors of data and their algorithms, I’m going to be looking at a few of the most popular sorting algorithms. These sorting algorithms take datasets, usually arrays of numbers and sort through various means and with various time complexities. …

Trees are magnificent beings. They surround us at all times and yet we barely think of them. What do they want? What do they think about all day? We may never know and that’s not what I’m here to talk about. What I’m here to talk about is the data…

At this point we’ve been talking about different algorithms and data structures for what feels like weeks. Perhaps months. Instead of breaking down another data structure this week I’d like to talk about how these data structure and algorithms are graded. The system of ranking the good ole Ds and…
