📝 Description

This PR adds a comprehensive JavaScript implementation section to the Distributed Algorithms topic outline. It includes a detailed implementation of the Bully Algorithm for leader election in JavaScript, along with explanations of its relevance to the core learning objectives. The implementation demonstrates practical application of distributed systems concepts and provides career changers with concrete code examples they can analyze and run.

🔂 Changes Made

  1. Added a new "Implementation" tab to the visual learning interface
  2. Created a complete JavaScript implementation of the Bully Algorithm for leader election
  3. Added explanations connecting the implementation to key distributed systems concepts
  4. Added sections highlighting real-world applications and implementation challenges
  5. Created explicit connections between the implementation and the "Specific Things to Learn" section

🍏 Type of Change

New Topic Outline

🎁 Acceptance Criteria

  • Provides a practical JavaScript implementation of a distributed algorithm
  • Clearly explains the algorithm's relevance to the "Specific Things to Learn" section
  • Demonstrates real-world applications of the algorithm
  • Code is well-commented and follows best practices

🧪 How to test or what to evaluate

  1. Review the JavaScript implementation of the Bully Algorithm in the "Implementation" tab
  2. Check that the code is complete, well-structured, and properly explained
  3. Verify that the connections to the "Specific Things to Learn" section are clear and meaningful
  4. Confirm that the real-world applications and implementation challenges are accurately described
