It is a psychological pattern in which an individual doubts their accomplishments, and has a persistent internalized fear of being exposed as a “fraud.” ‘Imposters’ suffer from…

I remembered when I made the decision to resign from my job in Higher Education in early January 2020, and dedicated myself to study full-time in a coding boot camp and shift my career into the tech industry afterwards. Some friends said it was a bold decision, some even said why not do a part time boot camp and still have a full time job? I told myself and others that if I don’t devote my full attention to this, I will never make the change. It was a bold yet non-regretting decision that I made. …

JavaScript is the language that every front-end developer must know. It’s the king of web development and every front-end developer must know it. It has improved a lot in the last decade with the new ECMAScript versions, especially after ES6 that makes the development process much easier for developers. That’s why today we are going to take a look at a few new features that ECMAScript has to offer.

In Mathematics, the Fibonacci sequence is basically the sum of the previous two numbers, starting from 0 and 1. In the image shown above, we can tell right the way the third number is 1, which is also added from its previous two number 0 and 1. From then on, it is a matter of using this pattern to find out what is Fn is assuming n is the number of the sequence. The pattern can be summed up with a equation of Fn = Fn-1 + Fn-2 . …

For anyone who has studied and practiced algorithm problems, you have probably seen the FizzBuzz problem. But what is FizzBuzz and where did it come from? FizzBuzz is a traditional children’s game, it is played between two people where they each take turn to count from one to one hundred, and at number 3 and multiplication of 3, they say Fizz; at number 5 and multiplication of 5, they say Buzz; at multiplication of 3 and 5 they say FizzBuzz. While it is a very simple counting question, yet when we implement it into programming to solve this question, there…

In our last week’s blog, we went over what React Hooks is and its use application on useState. This week we are going to dive in and take a look at what useEffect is and its application uses.
