This is a comprehensive course on Algorithms and Data Structures and completing it might take more than 6 months. Yet, by the end of the course, you’ll have enough knowledge to ace interviews at top tech companies like Google, Meta, Amazon, etc. This course is designed for people who already have some background in some general-purpose programming language (like Python, C++, Java, C#), and would like to dive deep into the world of algorithms and data structures.
Large tech companies like Google, Meta, Netflix, and Amazon conduct their interviews checking for deep knowledge of data structures and algorithms. Completing this course will make sure you can ace those interviews and get a job at top tech companies. Salaries for entry-level software engineers at these companies range between $100k and $250k per year.
Freelance platforms like Toptal or Turing require their applicants to be fluent in Data Structures and Algorithms. So, their screening processes include several interviews focusing on algorithmic knowledge.
Software engineers working on platforms like Toptal and Turing earn $50-$90 per hour, while most of the jobs are full-time.
By the end of this course, you’ll know how to use various popular data structures to write efficient algorithms that would perform an order of magnitude faster than naive solutions. We will cover best practices for writing code for algorithms and how to prepare for algorithmic interviews. You will work with different algorithms and will implement their variations in various problems to actually master each of those. Most importantly, you will solve many challenging problems that appear in interviews in companies like Google or Meta (previously Facebook).
🤔 How...?
In this course, you learn by doing! Each concept has several interactive challenges that you will solve to pass on to the next one. We believe that hands-on learning is the best way to get in-depth knowledge. Here you will have many challenging and at the same time interesting exercises to practice each and every concept that is covered.
You will study at your own pace. You can go hard and complete several levels in one week, or take it slow and focus on each concept for longer.
There is a forum to ask questions and get unstuck. You can ask or answer the questions of others under each challenge.
🎓 What will you learn?
This course focuses on the core concepts of Data Structures and Algorithms and introduces each of them in an intuitive manner. To make the process more fun and engaging, the concepts are organized into levels, and passing each level means you’ve mastered a new concept. These are the main things we will be covering here:
Implementation problems
The algorithm is stated right in the problem
Work with basic data structures like arrays, dictionaries, sets, etc.
Bitwise operations
The binary representation of numbers (int → bin, bin → int conversions)
Learning is 80% individual work! Completing this course will be your accomplishment and we’re here to support that journey. Join us on Discord for discussions and to meet other learners by following this link: https://discord.gg/TTTEcu2Jju.
