“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...

Base64 vs Base58 Encoding

Image
By Lane Wagner –  @wagslane  on Twitter Base64 is one of the most popular encoding formats for representing data. Have some binary data? Base64 encode it for convenient readability and parsing. Base58 is just another encoding format (with 58 characters instead of 64, and has gained popularity largely due to Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. When it comes to data encoding, there is typically a trade-off made between: Human Readability: Do humans have a good idea of what is being represented at a glance? Efficient data compression: How many bytes are used to represent the same data? Let’s rank Base58, Base64, and ASCII encoding against each other using these metrics! First: A Note on Binary All data is stored in a raw binary format on computers. These encoding formats (Base64, Base58, and ASCII) are just different ways of reading and writing binary data. For example, in Base64 the binary code 000000 represents the letter A , but in ASCII the binary 00000000 repres...

16 Great Coding Challenges You Can Try Out

Image
The post 16 Great Coding Challenges You Can Try Out first appeared on Qvault . Coding challenges are a fun way to improve your coding quickly. When I started to learn coding in school, coding challenges were the furthest thing from my mind. In fact, I was struck with one particular issue: I didn’t really want to learn to code. I didn’t care enough about coding. I didn’t care about the language. I wanted to get a decent grade and get out. Like a lot of other coders, I’m competitive by nature, but only when it suits me. I need a reason to care. That’s why one of my earliest coding successes was a personal coding challenge. Could I get a python bot up and running? If so, the reward was more Instagram followers for my cats. Suddenly, I was motivated to trawl through error code explanations, figure out the best libraries, and read through dozens of stackoverflow answers.  Coding challenges are a great way to give yourself a reason to pick up a new coding language, whether you’r...
