Hashnode·4yWhy You Should Keep a Programming Journal
Journaling can help you articulate your thoughts. It can also help you stay motivated on long-term projects. Log your successes along the way, perhaps in the back of your notebook. A bug-tracker might be great for tracking todos and bugs, but a journal can be better for tracking topics, questions, and other “things”

DEV·4yPractical Big O Notation for JavaScript Developers
Big O notation is a way to graphically represent how fast the complexity of an algorithm grows while the number of data points it requires approaches infinity. The one with the lower BigO notation is usually better, at least performance-wise. Some algorithms such as finding all permutations of a list of values, or even calculating the factorial number of a value have very common O(n!) solutions.
PyImageSearch·4yOCR Passports with OpenCV and Tesseract
Learn how to use image processing techniques and the OpenCV library to localize text in an input image. extract the localized text and OCR it with Tesseract. Build a sample passport reader project that can automatically detect, extract, and O CR the MRZ in a passport image.
Towards Dev·4yThe Power of SQL
Structured Query Language or SQL was created by Edgard Codd in 1970 at IBM in order to deal with the large amounts of data that was coming to the world on a regular basis. It has been over 50 years since SQL has come to be and yet it still one of the most widely utilized programming languages today. A recent analysis from dataquest.io showed that out of 32,000 jobs that mention the key word ‘data’ in it, SQL is one of. the top programming languages to have as a skill set when applying to jobs.
