Books I Am Reading Now on Algorithms, etc.
So I was doing some editing on my Book Collectorz database and came across an ebook I didn’t even remember buying: Data Structures and Algorithms in JavaScript. I went searching for it at Amazon to get the physical copy but the reviews were pretty negative as there were plenty of errata in the book and code samples. <a id=”fnref:1” class=”footnote” title:=”see footnote” href=”1”>[1]</a>
You can find the book here. You have an option to download Mozilla’s SpiderMonkey JavaScript shell and work on js natively on your machine, which is nice.
The reason I decided to read this book, right now, is that I am struggling with the Free Code Camp Bonfires and need a kind of boost.
I am also reading Clean Code which is a great introduction to naming conventions and best practices in programming in Java. <a id=”fnref:2” class=”footnote” title:=”see footnote” href=”2”>[2]</a>
Fast-moving Reintroduction to Java
So we are going over Java basics in class. I need to read chapter 2, but I am pretty sure I know about variables and all that jazz. Just seems we are going breakneck into the parts of programming everyone in that class knows and I am just scared that I may miss something. <a id=”fnref:3” class=”footnote” title:=”see footnote” href=”3”>[3]</a>
I will probably read chapter 2 again tonight. This is just intro stuff rehashed. Don’t know why I am so scared about the pace. If he was going over JFrame and GUIs this fast I’d probably fall out of my chair…
- I have yet to download the code samples from O’Reilly’s website: the book was published in 2014 so I am sure there are updates to the code in the author’s Github. <a class="reversefootnote" title:="return to article" href="1"> ↩</a>
- You can use these tips and tools in every programming language. It’s a best practice for programmers in general. <a class="reversefootnote" title:="return to article" href="2"> ↩</a>
- Lacking confidence in my abilities but I know I am getting better. I can look at code and just know it’s too verbose, needs to broken up. Just knowing things don’t look right is half the battle. <a class="reversefootnote" title:="return to article" href="3"> ↩</a>
