Hello friends!

I hope you had a great week! I was off traveling teaching for work, and I'm glad to be home and back to making memes.

Something that interested me this week

This past week I got myself a tablet! I originally started thinking about getting one so that I could have my notes readily available while teaching workshops, but now I'm using it for practicing drawing, too! I found some online classes that I've been enjoying so far, and have really liked getting to be creative with it. If anyone reading has recommendations for drawing practice, I'd love to hear them!
 

Interview question of the week

Last week, I had you count sequences. Sophie, Dimitris, Leslie, Matthew, George, and Kyle did a great job answering!

This week's question:
Given an array of n integers, find the length of the longest increasing subsequence.

Example:
> subLength(13, 35, 1, 5, 40, 86)
> 4  // The sequence here would be 1, 5, 40, 86
 

Sponsor

Whoa, a new section! I'm super excited to say that I've partnered with Raygun! They approached me about wanting to support the dev community, and in talking with them and experimenting with their tech, I thought they were awesome and was glad to have them as a sponsor of this newsletter once a month. 🎉
