“Interview Prep – Golang” Course Released

Golang interview preparation

The post “Interview Prep – Golang” Course Released first appeared on Qvault.

We just launched Interview Prep – Golang, a quick course for those looking to brush up on some Go quirks before walking into an interview. The course is a hands-on tutorial where you complete algorithms and data structures exercises, as well as answer common multiple-choice questions about the Go language.

This interview preparation review stands out because it gives a solid recap (over 30 exercises) of the language, and it’s free on signup!

Get Started

What’s Included?

The course has two modules and covers many topics, some of which are:

  • Interfaces and structs
  • Error handling and testing
  • Syntactic sugar
  • Workspace and toolchain features
  • Stacks and queues
  • Channels
  • Mutexes and concurrency
  • Binary trees

Why Go?

Go is soaring in popularity among DevOps, backend, and security engineers. If you aren’t familiar with Go yet, take a look at our Go Mastery course! All code is written and scored in the browser, so no need to worry about spinning up a local development environment and copying/pasting answers.

Thanks For Reading!

Why is Exclusive Or (XOR) Important in Cryptography?

Image
If you are getting into cryptography, or just trying to understand the fundamentals, you may have noticed that the exclusive-or operation is used quite often, especially in ciphers. What is XOR ( ⊕ )? XOR, or “exclusive or” operates on binary data. It returns true if both of its inputs are opposites (one false and one true), otherwise, it returns false. An example in go code would be something like: func exclusiveOr(a bool, b bool) bool { return a != b } XOR Cipher – The Perfect Cipher The XOR operation can be used as a simple cipher for encrypting and decrypting messages with a single key. This is known as symmetric encryption. It is interesting to note that if: The key is the same size as the message The key is kept secret and generated truly randomly Then the cipher is impossible to crack. This is known as a one time pad . However, a simple XOR shouldn’t be used in production due to the key length needing to be too long to be practical. Cipher Example A

What are UUIDs, and should you use them?

The post What are UUIDs, and should you use them? first appeared on Qvault . A universally unique identifier (UUID) is a 128-bit format for creating IDs in code that has become popular in recent years, especially in relation to database keys. By using UUIDs, you ensure that your ID is not just unique in the context of a single database table or web application, but is truly unique in the universe. No other ID in existence should be the same as yours. Sorry to interrupt! I just wanted to mention that you should check out my new free Go course. It’s designed to teach you all the fundamentals of my favorite coding language. Learn Golang Now It is important to note that while the probability that a UUID will collide with another is not zero , its practically zero. The chances of collision are so astronomically low, worrying about it would be ridiculous. The total number of possible UUIDs is 2^128 or 340282366920938463463374607431768211456 .

6 Things to Avoid When Contributing to Open-Source Projects

Image
The post 6 Things to Avoid When Contributing to Open-Source Projects first appeared on Qvault . With #HacktoberFest being a thing, there has been an influx of devs desperately trying to contribute to their favorite Open-Source projects. Unfortunately, many of these pull requests have been a waste of time, with the maintainers ultimately unable to use the contributions. Maintainers don’t want to waste their time reviewing bad PRs, and contributors don’t want to waste their time writing code that will never make it into production. Let’s take a look at some common pitfalls that developers fall prey to when working on an open-source project. As a side note, we recently open-sourced the Qvault front-end, so take a look at that if you want to help out. 1. Don’t Start Work Without Approval If you hop into a Github repo and find something you don’t like, don’t immediately open a pull request. Follow these steps instead: Is there already an issue logged? If not, make one. If there
