String is one of the primitive types in JavaScript and we use it in every project we work on no matter what. But how familiar are you with the methods available in JavaScript to work with a string variable? Let’s have a quick look at those in this article.

8 minThere are many different sorting algorithms out there such as quick sort, merge sort, insertion sort, bubble sort, etc., that could be useful in our day to day life, writing code which gets shipped to production. Knowing all of them is not necessary, but if you have a basic understanding of each one, you can decide on the most efficient one for your scenario.
May 03, 20207 minUsing a loop is almost a must in our day to day life. But have you ever thought what kind of loop should you use? Do you know the difference between enumerables and iterables? This article sheds some light in this space, so read on if you’re interested.
Apr 24, 20203 minYou’ve spent many hours trying to improve your web performance and have got it to a good speed. What happens next? How do you ensure it remains in good shape especially if you’re working in a team with diverse backgrounds and level of coding.
Apr 13, 20206 minI was working on a project a week ago and had a local branch (with a few commits) I was going to push to upstream to create a PR (pull request). However, after pulling down master and rebasing, I realised all of my code except my first commit is gone after rebase 😱.
Apr 05, 20206 minThere are many situations where we want to see what’s wrong with out code without the trouble of changing source code and push the changes again, regardless of whether we’re using local environment or production. Most folks start by writing console.log statements throughout their code base and go step by step to find the place where the bug is happening. That’s OK for beginners and where you have access to source code, but what if you don’t want to waste so much time or you don’t even have access to source code?
Mar 19, 20207 minThere are many situations where we’d like to see our web page in fullscreen mode. Be it games, online courses, video tutorials, or simply wanting more reading space while reading a book. What we usually do in these sort of scenarios is we manually set our browser’s tab/window in fullscreen mode (F11), but the result is not always what we expect, because some content is not designed to be viewed in fullscreen mode. Besides, what if we help our users to go fullscreen automatically instead, again it all comes to having a better user experience.
Mar 10, 20202 minI’ve been writing web applications for more than a decade. From classic ASP to PHP, ASP.Net web forms and the list goes on and on. However, something that’s been common between all those years for me has been to care about how performing the site is. One important part of that has been to look out for memory leaks, because they can cause the page to go super slow or even crashing in more serious scenarios.
Feb 28, 20206 minI help some of my friends perform code reviews on their code bases from time to time as a side activity. I’ve used codelyzer before and it’s very similar to tslint in a sense. However, I wanted to test something new and thought let’s give SonarQube a shot this time.
Feb 23, 20204 minOne of the first things I learnt to do with HTML was using marquee to move text across the screen horizontally. It was so cool to be able to create advertisements on a page and make users notice things with just a tag. Of course people overused it and then it became a out of fashion item in the new designs just like baggy jeans from 90s.
