The most interesting thing to learn while coding this was finding out that <code>parseInt([x,y,z,z,y,x].join(""))</code> was much faster than <code>(x*100001) + (y*10010) + (z*1100)</code> in JavaScript.

Hope it all goes well and I can wrap my head around this Jekyll stuff</p> 2012-02-07T00:00:00-08:00 hhttp://egeozcan.github.com/about/2012/02/07/by-the-way <p>There is, actually, a very important thing I should note before starting to publish anything here on this blog: I love JavaScript and I&#8217;ll probably be biased for it. Not a big deal if you think that you actually don&#8217;t have to read anything I write.</p> <p>On the other hand, &#8220;loving JavaScript&#8221; also means, in some way, loving Node.js (I know you people hate these kind of conclusive statements but, I can&#8217;t help myself.) Which is cool, because Node.js is cool and it gives us, the JavaScript programmers, the ability to come up with great server-side stuff and create awesome tools that work on various platforms.</p> <p>So, what about someone offering me a topic to discuss on Node.js? If I can find some time to share the knowledge I gained while developing stuff with Node.js, I&#8217;d make sure that some need <em>that</em> information.</p>
