In today's episode, you'll learn the four principles of object-oriented programming. We'll discuss abstraction, inheritance, encapsulation, and polymorphism. By the end of the show, you'll understand each one of them; you'll know how they relate to each other, and how to use them in practice.

Episode 9 - Sorting. Counting Sort.

Programming

02/26/20 • 13 min

Have you ever been frustrated during interviews thinking that your interviewer expects you to have memorized a bunch of sorting algorithms you'd never need in real life? In this episode of the podcast learn how to approach such situations. In performance critical systems you may have to implement an efficient sorting yourself. Learn how to beat the built-in algorithm in a few lines of code!

Episode 21 - Maps, Hash Maps, Tree Maps, and Hash Tables

Programming

07/01/20 • 16 min

Today in less than 20 minutes, we'll explore what maps are and how they work under the hood. We'll talk about the differences between treemaps, hash maps, and hash tables. We'll dig pretty in-depth...By the end of the episode, you'll understand how to implement hash tables using an array, hash function, and a linked list!

Episode 20 - Static and Dynamic Systems

Programming

06/23/20 • 13 min

Today we'll look into static and dynamic systems. We'll discuss what does it mean for a programming language or a framework to be static or dynamic. In the second part of the podcast, we'll focus on some of the properties of static systems and how they can help in better compile-time optimizations, development experience, and more!

Episode 19 - Type Systems and Type Checking

Programming

06/16/20 • 6 min

In this episode, we'll look at the very basics of type systems and their enforcement. We'll discuss strongly and weakly typed languages. After that, we'll dig into different enforcement strategies - runtime with dynamic typing and compile-time with static typing.

Episode 18 - How JavaScript Bundlers Work

Programming

05/25/20 • 11 min

In this episode, we'll look at what data structures and algorithms JavaScript bundlers use. We'll talk about ECMAScript modules, strongly connected components, depth-first search, and more! Enjoy!

Episode 15 - Compilers, Linters, and Formatters

Programming

04/07/20 • 8 min

In this episode of the programming podcast, we'll discuss static analysis and code transformation. In particular, we'll look at the difference between compilers, linters, and formatters. By the end of the episode, you'll understand what tool you should use to improve your development experience and team processes.

Episode 13 - Binary Heaps

Programming

03/24/20 • 12 min

Today we're going to discuss the binary heap data structure. In this episode, you'll learn where to use heaps in practice, how they can come handy to you during a coding interview, and how to implement them! Along the way, we'll cover heap sort, priority queues, load balancing, and more!

Episode 8 - Decorator Pattern

Programming

02/18/20 • 13 min

Today you'll learn how at runtime, you can enhance the behavior or existing objects using the decorator pattern. In this episode, we'll discuss the advantages of decorators over inheritance and look at two examples from real-life - implementing a network communication protocol and enriching user interface components.

Episode 17 - Dependency Injection

Programming

04/21/20 • 10 min

Today we'll talk about using dependency injection across paradigms! You'll understand what this pattern is all about and how to use it. During the episode, we'll touch on topics such as inversion of control, high-order functions, and testability.
