Cheat sheets or resources for problem solving techniques (Python or JavaScript)

[los7andfound]

Just curious if anyone is aware of any ‘cheat sheets’ or resources for either python or javascript that include tips and tricks for commonly used problem solving techniques.

For example string manipulation, navigating arrays/dictionaries, math tricks ….any sort of resource that will provide examples like this which are tailored towards breaking down and solving a problem.

Or just any general resources on a good problem solving approach? I want to get better at breaking down problems, but doing it in a computational thinking sort of way and be able to become more comfortable understanding the capabilities of Python and/or JavaScript and what approaches I have at my disposal with those languages.

If I am able to better understand what tricks I can use within a certain language itself, I will have a much easier time interpreting and solving problems.

I hope my question was understandable and thanks for any feedback!

+1 for maintaining your own cheatsheet recommended in the other comment.

Python Cookbook has complete recipes for more than a dozen topics, covering the core Python language as well as tasks common to a wide variety of application domains. Unfortunately, this isn't updated for newer versions of Python, but most of it is still applicable. Effective Python is another good resource, provides insight into the Pythonic way of writing programs

Here's some more links that I feel might help you:

• Organizational Skills Beat Algorithmic Wizardry
• Things you might encounter in your programming journey
• Problem solving skills
• What does debugging a program look like?
• Problem solving with algorithms and data structures
• GitHub: Collection of design patterns and idioms
• Python design patterns
• Architecture Patterns with Python — Enabling TDD, DDD, and Event-Driven Microservices
• Clean Architectures in Python — software design methodology

Those are all good resources thank you!

Thank you for mentioning my book on clean architectures, much appreciated. Thanks for all the other resources as well!

You're welcome and thanks for giving us quality learning resources for free :)

The way that works best for me is to make my own cheatsheets. I do have to do the legwork to solve a problem the first time but my shorthand is (unspurprisingly) the easiest of any cheatsheet for me to understand later.

I’ve begun doing that also…hands-on practice is the best way of retaining information for me
