Today, we take a break from my series on sorting algorithms and look at thread-safety. As a result, we will learn about threads and create a multi-threaded program. Then, we learn about thread safety and implement it in a C# console application. What are threads? Every program I have ever written has had a single sequential flow of control. Once the program begins executing, it systematically goes through every line of code until the end....

This is the third post in my series on sorting algorithms. Previously, I talked about the selection sorting algorithm (Link Here). Today, we take a look at the bubble sort algorithm. Later, we implement this in a .net core console application. Bubble sort is considered to be one of the simplest sorting algorithms. This algorithm works from right to left. On each pass, it compares each array item with its right neighbor....

This is the second post in my series on sorting algorithms. Previously, I talked about the insertion sorting algorithm (Link Here). Today, we take a look at the selection sort algorithm. Later, we implement this in a .net core console application. Selection sort is one of the elementary sorting algorithms. It sorts the data by finding the smallest item and swapping it into the array in the first unsorted location. The algorithm enumerates the array from the first unsorted item to the end....

Recently, I’ve been learning about different types of sorting algorithms. However, I am far from being an expert on this. So take everything I say with a grain of salt. In this blog post, I document my first look at insertion sort. Later, we implement this method of sorting in a .Net core console application. Insertion sort is one of the elementary sorting algorithms. It sorts each item in the array as it is encountered....

PHP is a popular serverside scripting language. You’ve probably heard that at least a hundred times. When I was told that we were doing PHP in school, I was rather skeptical. I had fallen into the misleading belief that PHP was a ‘Dead language’. Don’t get me wrong, PHP as a tool still does lack the finesse of something like ASP .NET. Its installation process on my Mac was very finicky ( probably because it was a Mac, but you got to work with what you got to work with )....
