In my previous blog, we discussed variables in Go. Here we will discuss the basic data types in Go; boolean, numeric, and text. These data types are also known collectively as primitives and are built into Go’s compiler.
**Some examples and overall structure of this blog come from Free Code…
Go was created in 2009 by Robert Griesemer, Rob Pike, and Ken Thompson at Google. Go is an open-source, statically typed, compiled language and is commonly referred to as Golang. Some of Go’s key benefits include “…memory safety, garbage collection, structural typing, and CSP-style concurrency” (Built In).

Before diving into this blog, I recommend taking a look at my previous blog, where I introduce WebSocket APIs. From the article, you will find a high-level overview of how WebSockets APIs work and the main components of a WebSocket API. …
In a recent code challenge, I was tasked with creating an application that logs messages as they happen and shares those messages with everyone connected to the app. As a Full Stack Developer, I’m very familiar with working with RESTful API’s and utilizing HTTP requests between a client and server…
As a Software Engineer, I have many files and folders on my computer filled with my various coding projects. Therefore, having to navigate through the many different folders to get to the project I’m looking for in the terminal can take more than a few lines of code. Luckily, there…
If you read my previous blog regarding Big O Notation, you may remember that an algorithm is defined as “a finite sequence of well-defined, computer-implementable instructions, typically to solve a class of problems or to perform a computation ” (Wikipedia). …
I recently created a portfolio website to share with my future employers. One thing that I did not take into consideration, though, is how sharing the link to my website would look on social media sites like LinkedIn, Facebook, etc. …
In a recent coding challenge, I was tasked with building a chat application. One of the requirements was to show the time the message was posted. My first thought was to use the Ruby created_at string provided by my fetch. However, that string looks like this:
What is Recursion?
A recursive function is a function that calls itself. It’s important to learn recursion because it’s used in common built-in JavaScript methods such as JSON.parse, JSON.stringify, and document.getElementById (Steele). Also, recursion is essential to understanding Tree and Graph traversal algorithms, which we will discuss in future blogs.
