Object-Oriented Programming
The goal of this coding kata is to come up with a solution for the following bearing in mind what this might mean for processing at scale: Write a function f(x) that returns all distinct pairs of integers between -50 and 50 (inclusive) whose sum is X.
I created a simple multiuser journaling application while learning Laravel 5. The date dropdown on the form omits previously logged dates to let the user know what dates have not been logged. A non-trivial weighted average calculation is available for whatever single biometric field you choose to log. The user can log a single day at a time via the logging form, or bulk upload via CSV.
When I decided it was time to start looking for a new opportunity post W2O Group, I really wanted a centralized place that I could keep tabs on the jobs I’d applied for and the potential jobs found that I might yet apply to. Job Apps is a standalone application that will help you stay organized while seeking employment. I find it super helpful… and you can too!
I wrote a simple object-oriented solution whereby special callout classes (ie: mentions, emoticons, links, future features) directly inherited from an abstract class that provided business logic functionality common to all callouts. The actual parsing code was broken up into smaller modules. By coding these classes to an interface, I was able to decouple the business logic from the parsing code. I employed the strategy pattern to meld everything together. As such, this approach is easily extendable to new functionality.
A standalone CoffeeScript program was created to spit out an array terrible bands and random numbers meant to represent individual tweet mentions of said terrible bands. The kata task was to create a framework to initiate the script, then handle and animate the resulting live stream using the comps provided. I chose to employ a prototype-based JavaScript solution.
MasterCard sought the ability to collect content from the diverse array of blogs they manage to create custom RSS feeds that group posts into similar foci. This would allow them to cross-pollinate content written by a number of separate entities worldwide by showcasing feeds from blogs of different origin.
