Anatomy of a Hash

What is a hash? How do I decide which hashing algorithm to use? Where can I find 2500 words to read about password hashing?

These are all questions I’ve received while working as a security engineer, most often from software developers. There are tons of resources out there that resolve each of these questions, but I wanted to write up my own resource that I could refer back to or refer others to when this question inevitably comes up again.
