I would suggest an alternative approach. You don't seem to be really interested in the nitty-gritty of the algorithms than in actually knowing how to apply them to get the results you desire. Jumping in deep can really suck your time

We have a local python Meetup. Here we have a half an hour break between talks for tea and snacks. So that's half an hour you need to somehow spend and leads to some interesting conversations. Just before we break, the organizer reads

Seriously, this is different from coursework. You need some really strong motivation to cover all this through self study and stay on track. I believe the user should start simpler and build from there, both above and below. Unfortunately

We built a DBMS from scratch! Ok, it started before I joined, but the data at our startup was all basically in text files, not unlike a csv. There were data coming from different sources and needed to be merged with existing. We also needed

True this. But * Learning CSS is not the first priority of a bootstrapped business. The cost associated with a 100kb of css is much lesser compared to creating a layout and all other styles. * Learning CSS to create a whole layout from scr

Server side rendering still beats js frameworks if your site depends on search engines for your traffic. I try to stick as much to server side rendering with only the required js files with minimal dependencies. It has worked wonders for m
