When it comes to modern web layout techniques, CSS Flexbox and CSS Grid are two powerful tools at a developer's disposal. Both have their strengths and are suited for different kinds of tasks. From my observations, beginners tend to learn just Flexbox and ignore Grid because Flexbox is easier to visualize and understand, which was also the same for me, but eventually, I discovered that I was missing out on a lot in terms of responsiveness and even beauty (surprisingly).Flexbox, or Flexible Box Layout, is designed for one-dimensional layouts. This means it excels in laying out items in a single...

A REST API (Representational State Transfer Application Programming Interface) is an architectural style for designing networked applications. It is a set of rules and conventions that govern how web services should communicate with each other. Here are some key points about REST APIs:Statelessness: REST APIs are stateless, which means that each request from a client to a server contains all the necessary information to understand and process that request. The server does not store any information about the client's previous interactions.Resources and URIs: REST APIs are built around the conce...

Hi Africoders, I'm excited to announce that I'm diving headfirst into the world of Python this semester! My goal? To harness the power of this popular language for scientific computing.Python's history is actually pretty interesting. Created in the late 1980s by Guido van Rossum, it was designed with readability and programmer productivity in mind. One of the key features that makes Python so beginner-friendly is that it's a **dynamically typed language**. This means you don't need to explicitly declare the data type of a variable before you use it, which can save a lot of time and effort when...
