For More Advanced Readers, or those with very limited free time… here’s an abridged Git Reference.

What’s a distributed version control system?

Git is an example of a distributed version control system (DVCS) commonly used for open source and commercial software development. DVCSs allow full access to every file, branch, and iteration of a project, and allows every user access to a full and self-contained history of all changes. Unlike once popular centralized version control systems, DVCSs like Git don’t need a constant connection to a central repository. Developers can work anywhere and collaborate asynchronously from any time zone.

Without version control, team members are subject…

Curating Complexity: A Guide to Big-O Notation

• Why is looking at runtime not a reliable method of calculating time complexity?
• Not all computers are made equal( some may be stronger and therefore boost our runtime speed )
• How many background processes ran concurrently with our program that was being tested?
• We also need to ask if our code remains performant if we increase the size of the input.
• The real question we need to answering is: How does our performance scale?.

• Big O Notation is a tool for describing the efficiency of algorithms with respect to the size of…

Applications of Tutorial & Cheat Sheet Respectivley (At Bottom Of Tutorial):

Basics

• PEP8 : Python Enhancement Proposals, style-guide for Python.
• print is the equivalent of console.log.

‘print() == console.log()’

# is used to make comments in your code.

def foo():
    """
    The foo function does many amazing things that you
    should not question. Just accept that it exists and
    use it with caution.
    """
    secretThing()

Python has a built in help function that let’s you see a description of the source code without having to navigate to it… “-SickNasty … Autor Unknown”

Numbers

• Python has three types of numbers:

1. Integer
2. Positive and Negative Counting Numbers.

No Decimal Point

Created by a literal non-decimal point number … or … with the int() constructor.

BEGIN ARTICLE:

Pros

1. Easy to learn
2. HTML-like syntax allows templating and highly detailed documentation
3. Supports server-side rendering
4. Easy migrating between different versions of React
5. Uses JavaScript rather than framework-specific code

Cons

1. Poor documentation
2. Limited to only view part of MVC
3. New developers might see JSC as a barrier

Where to Use React

1. For apps that have multiple events
2. When your app development team excels in CSS, JavaScript an HTML
3. You want to create sharable components on your app
4. When you need a personalized app solution

Misconceptions about React

React is a framework:

Many developers and aspiring students misinterpret React to be a fully-functional framework. It is because we often compare…

Disclaimer: I know that I did not create this list all on my own… I can’t recall or track down the original list (no… it’s not a github awesome list), I’ve added some links to it but if perchance you are the original author … firstly, thank you for putting it together… and secondly please reach out to me and I will either properly credit you (or take it down if you wish).

Authentication

• Authenticating your single page apps using JSON Web Tokens
• The parts of JWT security nobody talks about
• Introduction to OAuth 2.0 and OpenID Connect
• Passwords are so…

• Explain event delegation.
• Explain how this works in JavaScript.
• Can you give an example of one of the ways that working with this has changed in ES6?
• Explain how prototypal inheritance works.
• What’s the difference between a variable that is: null, undefined or undeclared?
• How would you go about checking for any of these states?
• What is a closure, and how/why would you use one?
• What language constructions do you use for iterating over object properties and array items?
• Can you describe the main difference between the Array.forEach() loop and Array.map() …

Data Structures Reference

Array

Stores things in order. Has quick lookups by index.

Linked List

Also stores things in order. Faster insertions and deletions than
arrays, but slower lookups (you have to “walk down” the whole list).

!

Queue

Like the line outside a busy restaurant. “First come, first served.”

Stack

Like a stack of dirty plates in the sink. The first one you take off the
top is the last one you put down.

Tree

Good for storing hierarchies. Each node can have “child” nodes.

Binary Search Tree

Everything in the left subtree is smaller than the current node,
everything in the right subtree is larger. …
