stp2y0 CommentsNewscoding, community, css, development, engineering, frontend, inclusive, responsive, software, webdev

As I keep encountering CSS codebases and theme definitions that solely use the traditional viewport units vh and vw, I thought about writing a blog post about the powerful tools we have on our disposal nowadays, that can make our lives easier and our CSS code better. The good old viewport units Long story short, for many years we've been using vh and vw to define something as percentage of the initial viewport height and width. For example, if we wanted to fill the entire viewport of all devices with green, we could do the following: .big-fat-green-element { background: green;…

stp2y0 CommentsNewsbeginners, coding, community, development, engineering, inclusive, java, learning, programming, software

Sorting algorithms are good examples for studying algorithm design and analysis. Sorting is a classic subject in computer science. There are three reasons to study sorting algorithms. First, sorting algorithms illustrate many creative approaches to problem solving, and these approaches can be applied to solve other problems. Second, sorting algorithms are good for practicing fundamental programming techniques using selection statements, loops, methods, and arrays. Third, sorting algorithms are excellent examples to demonstrate algorithm performance. The data to be sorted might be integers, doubles, characters, or objects. Section, Sorting Arrays, presented selection sort. The selection sort algorithm was extended to sort…

Creating a Smooth Transitioning Dialog Component in React (Part 4/4)

stp2y0 CommentsNewscoding, community, css, development, engineering, inclusive, javascript, react, reactjsdevelopment, software

Part 4: Final Refinements In Part 3, I enhanced the DialogAnimation component to calculate both expanded and minimised dimensions. This approach ensured accurate and visually appealing transitions by using successive render cycles to measure the dimensions. However, it introduced complexity and potential performance issues, particularly causing jank or flicker during the dimension calculation process. Introducing the Invisible Container To tackle the flickering issue, I'm introducing a secondary, invisible container exclusively for dimension calculations. This concept is inspired by techniques used in game development, such as double buffering, blitting, or offscreen rendering. These techniques help manage rendering by performing calculations offscreen…
