During project weeks at Flatiron I always knew I would be strapped for time when it came down to styling. I would lean towards using frameworks such as bootstrap or material ui. …

As I continue my journey with algorithms and data structures I thought it would be a good idea to get a better understanding of binary search trees. But, what is a tree? …

Last time we touched on React Hooks we looked at using the State Hook. This week let’s take a look at using the Effect Hook. As we know, data fetching and manually changing the DOM in React components are examples of “side effects.” The useEffect Hook is combining the componentDidMount…

Last week I dove into a few sorting algorithms. The problem with sorting algorithms like bubble sort and selection sort is that they do not scale well. Let’s jump into implementing Merge sort. First we should implement a function that will be responsible for merging two sorted arrays. When given…

This week I decided to spend more time with algorithms and data structures. I decided I would take a look at sorting algorithms, so let’s jump in with selection sort. …

When I jumped into learning React I was introduced to using class components in order to use state. Once I had finished a few small projects I found out that Hooks were added in React 16.8 and my mind was blown. Now I understood that I needed to learn the…

This week I decided to dive into data structures and I thought I start out with linked list. There are a few different types of Linked List such as Singly linked list, Doubly linked list and Circular linked list. For the scope of this blog we will focus on Singly…

I recently decided to brush up on my css skills. In the past, I have mostly used frameworks like bootstrap and semantic ui for my last few projects as we were on a time crunch. This week let’s take a look at Flexbox and how it works. What is Flexbox…

As I continue to grow as a software engineer, I am working to become more comfortable working through algorithms. I find it useful to have knowledge of multiple array methods “in my back pocket.” …
