Coding Challenges, A different way to think (JavaScript)
As a bootcamp grad, one of the greatest weaknesses I had coming fresh from the curriculum was Data Structures and Algorithms. As such, some coding challenges that were more like this and ‘riddle type’ concepts were harder for me than more practical concepts like setting up a backend, filtering data, or creating a feature inContinue reading “Coding Challenges, A different way to think (JavaScript)”

AccuWeather vs the Weather Channel. API’s and their JSON outputs
Sometimes we need to source multiple API’s to get the same type of information and display it with the same coded format. Unfortunately, all API’s aren’t born equal and when we try to fit them into a formatted output, it just won’t work.
