Hosting images have always been a tricky part for me. Recently I got the opportunity to write a lot of documentations (ReadMe on GitHub). One thing which was constant with the README.md files – screenshots. I prefer to add screenshots wherever necessary to be more precise about the steps to be followed. But taking a…
Getting a problem and straightaway writing a function for it is something we all tend to do unless we are industry veterans, because the industry veterans take a lot of factors into account while composing a function.
