Although Java just turned 25, old enough to rent a car in the US, it still remains one of the most popular coding languages in the world. It has remained innovative, relevant and robust. …

Typescript is a powerful extension of Javascript, that allows us to take advantage of strongly typed variables, and comes with some useful tools to create flexible, reusable code, that can still be type checked for errors, even if the types might vary between usages. I’ll be diving into generics in…

Continuing my series on useful data structures and their implementations, this week I’ll be exploring Stacks. You’ll find these all over the place under the hood in nearly all of the systems that we interact with on a daily basis. Why use a Stack? Stacks have several real-world applications, ranging from simple tasks like…

Last week I dove in to the hash table data structure, and while the implementation is pretty straight-forward, it often hinges on another popular data structure, the linked list. The concept of a linked list has boundless applications and variations to help you organize data in useful ways. …

Considering the common data structures employed by all coding languages, few hold as much importance under-the-hood as the hash table. Though relatively simple in concept, many very smart people over many years have devised implementations of the concept to make faster, leaner, and more accessible data storage strategies. In this…

Since the release of NextJS v9.3, we’ve been given three different rendering options for our React apps. Client-Side Rendering Server-Side Rendering Static-Site Generation Each of these methods has its use cases and benefits. …
