I am suggesting the frontend developers developing using angular/react code do not require to implement graph search algorithms.
What algorithms have you seen in practice in web frontends? I have seen nothing even minor, not even binary search or bublle sort.
- tptacek 10y agoI really don't know what to say to this. What kinds of applications do you work on? If what you do is primarily CRUD front-end stuff, then sure, I suppose you can get by without really understanding how to write general-purpose code. But pretty much anything past simple CRUD is going to start implicating simple data structures pretty quickly. I can cite examples from the front-end I'm working on right now, but that wouldn't sound like a fair example (it's an AVR debugger). But all sophisticated applications are complicated in their own ways, and most of them require developers who can actually, you know, program. Even if all you're doing is CRUD, how much computer science is embedded in even a straightforward framework like React? "Lots", is I think the answer.
