Algorithms for Job Interviews and Competitive Programming
Requirements
- Basic to advanced programming skills. Language does not matter.
- Basic understanding of simple data structures like arrays, lists, and sets.
Description
You have some programming experience and now want to take your skills to a new level? Learning algorithms and mastering algorithmic thinking is by far the most effective way of rapidly improving as a developer and problems solver.
That's why I will teach you the most interesting and useful algorithms in this course. (I intentionally skipped sorting algorithms as they are so over-discussed and rarely need to be implemented by yourself).
For each algorithm or topic, I give a concise explanation, example and implementation outline. Then it's your turn to apply the new learned algorithm to solve real problems. For that, I hand-picked tasks from programming websites. When you struggle with an issue and need help, I answer every question and provide personal feedback for your problems.

Instructor
I am a self-taught programmer and I currently study Computer Science. I have been successful at international competitive coding competitions like the International Olympiad in Informatics and the Google Code Jam Competition.
While I knew how to program for a long time, when I started to learn about efficient algorithms and data structures, I changed the way I code on a fundamental level. Even more, it changed how I approached problems in general.
Now I want to help others to make the same incredible experience.
