As an experienced JavaScript developer moving to server-side
programming, you need to implement classic data structures and
algorithms associated with conventional object-oriented languages
like C# and Java. This practical guide shows you how to work
hands-on with a variety of storage mechanisms--including linked
lists, stacks, queues, and graphs--within the constraints of the
JavaScript environment.
Determine which data structures and algorithms are most
appropriate for the problems you're trying to solve, and understand
the tradeoffs when using them in a JavaScript program. An overview
of the JavaScript features used throughout the book is also
included.
This book covers: Arrays and lists: the most common data
structuresStacks and queues: more complex list-like data
structuresLinked lists: how they overcome the shortcomings of
arraysDictionaries: storing data as key-value pairsHashing: good
for quick insertion and retrievalSets: useful for storing unique
elements that appear only onceBinary Trees: storing data in a
hierarchical mannerGraphs and graph algorithms: ideal for modeling
networksAlgorithms: including those that help you sort or search
dataAdvanced algorithms: dynamic programming and greedy
algorithms
The Front Room: Diaspora Migrant Aesthetics in the Home, originally
published in 2009, has become a beloved and much-praised source,
providing fascinating revelations into the post-war British
experience of immigrants, the decoration of their living spaces and
their position in society in relation to decolonisation. The 'front
room' (emanating from the Victorian parlour) provides an outlet to
respond to the feelings of displacement, exile and alienation and
the rebuilding of a home in a strange land. Primarily concerned
with Caribbean homes, The Front Room also looks at Moroccan,
Surinamese, Antillean and Indonesian migrant groups in
Holland-encompassing, through texts, archival documents and
artistic photographs, the important cultural markers that are
expressed through the domestic interiors of migrants. The author
examines how this intimate space within the home raises issues of
class, race, migration, aspiration, religion, family, gender,
identity and alienation. He also looks at the transition from the
colonial post-colonial modernity by placing the book in the context
of his own family's migrant experience. While this revised edition
includes updates of the original essays from leading social
commentators Stuart Hall, Denise Noble, Carol Tulloch and Dave
Lewis, as well as poems by Khadijah Ibrahiim and Dorothea Smartt,
and paintings by Sonia Boyce, Kimathi Donkor and Njideka Akunyili
Crosby. It also examines the iteration of the 'front room' in post
apartheid South Africa and discusses how sound system culture
emerged from the front room, as well as adding to the rich oral
histories from different generations reflecting on their personal
experiences of the front room and discussing the artefacts and
objects found in them in terms of their cultural significance. The
Front Room documents how the 'Windrush' generation's settlement in
Britain contributed to the making of multicultural society, and
raises questions about our lived experience and notions of the
'home', as many more people globally look for a roof over their
heads in the 21st century. The book is richly illustrated with
intriguing photographs of installations based on front rooms of the
time and the contemporary living room and their associated objects.
A play collection with an introduction by Afia Nkrumah and
bibliography by Susan Croft Featuring five works by prominent Black
and Asian playwrights. Harvest by Manjula Padmanabhan | Under their
Influence by Wayne Buchanan | Calcutta Kosher by Shelley Silas |
Made in England by Parv Bancil | Brother to Brother by Michael
McMillan These five plays in this collection each give us a glimpse
of a different world - from the poverty of a Bombay tenement in
Harvest by Manjula Padmanabhan to the world of rock and pop in Made
in England by Parv Bancil, from the fading grandeur of former
wealth in Calcutta Kosher by Shelley Silas to the inside of a
mental institution in Under their Influence by Wayne Buchanan and
many voices collide in the tales from the city in Brother to
Brother by Michael McMillan. Some of these plays have been
commended by critics and won awards, going on tour nationally. A
few have been broadcast or adapted for film. By publishing these
texts, we aim to inspire further productions, perhaps in venues
where little or no work by black and Asian writers has previously
been performed. In addition, the book includes a unique list of
published plays by black and Asian writers, compiled by Susan
Croft, so that those looking for plays to study or perform can
access the considerable body of work that now exists in libraries,
bookshops and archives.
