The Array JavaScript Data Structure

Arrays are a fundamental data structure in programming languages, including JavaScript. In lower-level languages like C, arrays represent a set of contiguous cells in computer memory. However, in JavaScript, arrays work differently as we are abstracted away from the memory management. In JavaScript, arrays can store any kind of data, allowing for mixing different types within the same array. Initialization of an array can be done using either const myArray = [] or const myArray = new Array()....

The Art of Estimating Programming Time: A Guide for Software Developers

Estimating the time required to build software projects is often a challenging task. Over the past decade, I have been asked this question countless times, and I must admit that giving an accurate estimation is an elusive feat. Clients and stakeholders frequently inquire about the timeline for implementing a particular feature or completing a project. But the reality is, estimating software development time is akin to making a bet or taking a leap of faith....

The Basics of MongoDB: A Tutorial

MongoDB is a database system that is responsible for storing and retrieving information in an application. As a NoSQL database, MongoDB does not use the SQL language for querying data. Key Characteristics of MongoDB MongoDB is a JavaScript-friendly database, providing a JavaScript API for creating databases and collections of objects called “documents”. It is schemaless, meaning that there is no need to pre-define a structure for the data before storing it....
