            Yet Another Newsletter LOL: The cursor parking lot

            Another week, another newsletter. Let’s get to it!

      Around the Web

I shared this with some folks in one of my communities this week, and thought I’d share here. It’s a great visualizer to understand data structures and algorithms.

visualising data structures and algorithms through animation - VisuAlgo
VisuAlgo was conceptualised in 2011 by Dr Steven Halim as a tool to help his students better understand data structures and algorithms, by allowing them to learn the basics on their own and at their own pace. Together with his students from the National University of Singapore, a series of visualizations were developed and consolidated, from simple sorting algorithms to complex graph data structures. Though specifically designed for the use of NUS students taking various data structure and algorithm classes (CS1010/equivalent, CS2040/equivalent, CS3230, CS3233, and CS4234), as advocators of online learning, we hope that curious minds around the world will find these visualizations useful as well.

      Words of Wisdom for the Week

There is some point when you’re learning something new where you understand the pattern of the thing rather than the single example you’re currently working on. That moment is one of the most fun parts of being alive.

      VS Code Tip of the Week

No tip this week I was super busy at work. Maybe check out the back catalogue of existing tips!

      Shameless plugs

The video for the steam with James Q. Quick is up! We talked content creation, tooling, SvelteKit and his new course that’s in the works, everythingsvelte.com. I honestly could have easily talked to James probably the rest of the work day, but we both had to get back to other things. Great convos James!
