As an experienced Python developer, I’ve worked with data visualization extensively. One of the most common visualization types I use is the time series plot. Matplotlib is the go-to library for creating these plots in Python. It’s flexible, powerful, and integrates well with other libraries like pandas. In this article, I’ll walk you through practical … Read more >>
Working as a Python developer, I’ve seen how important clear and focused visualizations are in making data-driven decisions. Matplotlib is my go-to library for plotting, and one feature I use often is xlim, an easy yet efficient way to control the range of values displayed on the x-axis. If you want to analyze sales trends … Read more >>
While working on a TypeScript project, I needed to add extra information (metadata) to classes and their properties, such as logging when a method runs or validating input, without modifying their actual implementation. That’s when I discovered TypeScript decorators. Decorators allow you to add metadata, modify, or extend the behavior of classes, methods, and properties … Read more >>
When I first started visualizing data with Matplotlib over a decade ago, customizing tick labels on the y-axis was always a bit tricky. In this article, I’ll share practical ways to use set_yticklabels in Matplotlib to customize your y-axis labels effectively. You’ll learn multiple methods to tweak labels, making your data visualization clearer and more … Read more >>
Recently, I was working on a TypeScript project where I had to iterate through a Record object that stored user information with unique IDs. The issue is that there are multiple ways to iterate over a record in TypeScript, and each method has its own advantages and disadvantages. In this article, I will cover five … Read more >>
Recently, I was building a TypeScript-based healthcare application where I needed to create different views of the same user data like some for public display, some for internal medical staff, and others for account settings. The issue was that each view required removing a different set of sensitive or internal-use-only properties from a complex interface. … Read more >>
When working with data visualization in Python, Matplotlib is my go-to library. Over the years, I’ve found that saving plots as PDF files is an essential step, especially when preparing reports or presentations for clients, colleagues, or stakeholders. PDFs maintain vector quality, ensuring your charts look crisp regardless of zoom or print size, something that’s … Read more >>
Recently, I was working on a large TypeScript project with my team. Since many of us were working on the same codebase, some teammates struggled to understand parts of the logic. This highlighted the importance of clear comments for seamless team collaboration. By adding simple, clear comments above complex code and using TODO notes where … Read more >>
While building a TypeScript project, you receive an object from an API or a function. You want to check the type of object during development to debug or better understand your code. Since TypeScript types are not available at runtime, you need a way to print helpful type-related information using typeof, instanceof, or by logging … Read more >>
TypeScript is popular among developers who want to add type safety to their JavaScript code. When you start using TypeScript, you will see two types of files: .ts and .tsx. It is essential to understand the differences between them, particularly when using TypeScript with React. This tutorial explains the difference between TypeScript .ts and .tsx … Read more >>
