html5-boilerplate VS javascript-algorithms

Download the HTML5 Boilerplate template from the official website (https://html5boilerplate.com/). You can choose to download the standard or the enhanced version, depending on your needs.

The ol' HTML5 boilerplate project does favicons in three lines:

Also https://html5boilerplate.com might be good starting point.

Learn to a medium degree of proficiency HTML and CSS. Dig through something like the source code for https://html5boilerplate.com/ and try to understand why they're doing the things that they're doing. Learn Git and use it in practice. Even if you're just working on your own code.

Do you guys still use HTML5 Boilerplate when starting new projects? https://html5boilerplate.com/

2. Html Boilerplate

Wasn't this moved into Modernizr? There's a library I haven't thought of in a long time.

Oh, yep. There it is at the bottom:

> April 2011: IEPP v2 comes out. Modernizr and the html5shiv inherit the latest code. Meanwhile developers everywhere continue to use HTML5 elements in a cross-browser fashion without worry.

Paul Irish also started (or helped start) the html5 boilerplate project[1], which I am surprised to see is still actively being developed. I relied on that boilerplate for so many of my years of my early career (started full-time front-end in 2011). If you want another blast of nostalgia, check out the earlier releases[2,3] of it. I'm so happy I don't have to use conditional IE statements in my html anymore

I'm reminded of the time when some kid wrote a script to crawl GitHub and create issues[1] about using inclusive language... except it was really dumb, for example: https://github.com/trekhleb/javascript-algorithms/pull/875/f...

Try codewars or leetcode Or you can use this repo for ds practice https://github.com/trekhleb/javascript-algorithms

This one is pretty popular too.

for algos - not sure how much you'll need to do for a jr position but familiarity with some of the beginner stuff here couldn't hurt: https://github.com/trekhleb/javascript-algorithms

Traditionally, a linked list allows you to insert before/after a node. i.e. addBefore(node,value) (see [2] ) He doesn't implement addBefore & addAfter.

Instead, he provides a whole bunch of non-canonical helpers like reverse(), toArray(), deleteTail() etc - these are typical LC-Easy problems that don't belong inside the data structure.

My own introduction to these things was a C course called "Data Structures in C" in the traditional CS curriculum, and yes, you would have to malloc a new node, get back a pointer with a memory address, & the process of pointing the next pointer of the current node to this new node so that the memory address of the next value was explicitly "linked" to the current value and hence linked list etc...I guess much of that terminology is lost on the new generation in the absence of pointers & memory addresses.

The canonical exercise in those days was - Show that a linked list does not store objects in contiguous memory, unlike an array. So to solve this, you would traverse the list from the head node & print the actual addresses of the memory locations along the way, proving that the vals aren't stored contiguously. I wonder what that exercise would mean in JS land.

That said, yeah its a good starting point & I applaud the effort.
