​​Understanding the true nature of separation of concerns is one of those topics that separates newbies from the seasoned developer. There’s more to code than just getting the syntax right. Beautiful code is one that is modular, loosely coupled and extremely easy to maintain. I’ve been thinking about long term feasibility of React and SoC over the past few days since my original deep dive into the framework.

​​I love generative art, and I frequently use a pseudo-random function to add a bit of noise to an image or behavior, but every time I implement a pseudo-random number function in JavaScript it takes me a second to remember how this works. So I thought I would write a quick post with a few of the most common pseudo-random number functions (henceforth referred to as simply “random” numbers) implemented in both vanilla ES6 and (just for fun) Python 3 as well. Of course there are infinitely many probability distributions and stochastic processes to explore, but I’ll keep this simple and save some useful concepts like Markov chains and coherent noise for another time.

​​Here I want to share a few next-generation JavaScript concepts I learnt.

​​A website or software application is simply logical commands enabled by hundreds of lines of code working together to deliver the desired functionality to the intended end-user. For most software engineers and web developers, any number of programming languages, from Python and Ruby to C++ and Java, are used to carry out the task at hand.

​​Computer languages often provide a way for one object to be inherited from
another object. The inherited object contains all properties from its parent object. In addition, it will also specify its own set of unique properties.

​​Knowing one approach to web scraping may solve your problem in the short term, but all methods have their own strengths and weaknesses. Being aware of this can save you time and help you to solve a task more efficiently.

​​Web components are an amazing new feature of the web, allowing developers to define their own custom HTML elements. When combined with a style guide, web components can create a component API, which allows developers to stop copying and pasting code snippets and instead just use a DOM element. By using the shadow DOM, we can encapsulate the web component and not have to worry about specificity wars with any other style sheet on the page. However, web components and style guides currently seem to be at odds with each other.

​​I’ve been programming in Object Oriented languages for decades. The first OO language I used was C++ and then Smalltalk and finally .NET and Java.

​​Taking that first step to understanding Functional Programming concepts is the most important and sometimes the most difficult step. But it doesn’t have to be. Not with the right perspective.

​​I usually see artificial intelligence explained in one of two ways: through the increasingly sensationalist perspective of the media or through dense scientific literature riddled with superfluous language and field-specific terms.

​​The Ruby on Rails community is always welcoming new contributors. They are very supportive of people learning the system at many levels. For example, you could make additions to its documentation, fix bugs, or suggest new features. In this article, I will show you how you can propose a new idea for Ruby on Rails. Then take it from conception all the way to implementation.

​​The programming language landscape is one that’s always evolving and growing. Considering the extensive number of programming languages available today, it might be hard to decide which language is best suited for you. In this article, we’ll cover the top 5 programming languages and how some of them have extraordinarily grown over the last few years. The languages include Python, JavaScript, C++, C# and Java.

​​Recently I decided to start a side project called CodePusher, which is a real-time code collaboration platform where developers can remotely solve programming challenges together. This idea largely came from a desire to bring more collaboration into our learning process as developers.

​​One day, I opened my Chrome browser to start work. Then I realized that I had actually been using the best application that you can build using only HTML, CSS, and Javascript.

​​Yes, Debugging. No one (or almost no one!) starts off programming with a love for debugging. Instead, it’s often a source of frustration and dread. “How many hours am I going to waste fixing this bug?”, a lot of us wonder. We’d rather go back to building cool stuff. (Because who doesn’t like building cool stuff!?)
