Why Data Structures and Algorithms?
I built this course because there is a major gap for most software engineers when it comes to fundamental data structures and algorithms (DSA). Often, DSA is seen as just something for academics or only valuable for technical interviewing, but there's so much more. Yes, this course will help you land technical roles, but more importantly this course will give you an intuition around data structures and algorithms so you understand them. Instead of memorizing, you'll be able to reason about problems and the logically come to solutions. Consider this to be the core skills to solve any DSA problem thrown your way.
It's time to master both the theory of DSA and get practice with hands on training.
In your career, DSA skills will help you land better roles and make more money. In the real world, DSA skills will mean the difference between building mediocre, slow apps and building highly performant systems.
Unsure where to begin? Look no Further!
The curriculum of this course covers the most critical core concepts you need to know. Learn the inside secrets that not only help you solve problems but solve them in the best way possible.
You may be overwhelmed with the amount of information to learn. This course will:
- Give you core skills that make learning any new data structures or algorithms easier,
- Focus on the MOST IMPORTANT data structures and algorithms to cover almost all problems (Curriculum choices were inspired by mentoring from a high level Google Engineer leading real interviews),
- Give you the skills to get through technical interviews and solve big data problems in the real world.
If you use just one resource for learning DSA, this course is it. There are tons of ways to learn DSA, but I've found that most teach it wrong, make it too abstract and confusing, or waste time on things that aren't important. A bad approach actually does more harm than good.
These lessons contain the MOST IMPORTANT skills for DSA that I've picked up in my 10+ years in tech.
I’m confident that if you follow the plan and curriculum I provide, you will achieve your goal. The path is laid out right in front of you—all you have to do is commit.

- Discover the types of scenarios that can be represented with graphs and how graph algorithms can solve unique problems
Learn the types of Trees and Traversals
- Learn what type of data should be represented as a tree
- Learn the types of trees and their use cases. For example, you may choose to use BST if you want to be able to search through the data efficiently
- Learn about self balancing trees and other variations
- Learn about in pre-order, in-order, and post-order traversal
- Understand how to reason about tree problems and solve them
Backtracking and Dynamic Programming
- Often feared by most software engineers, we will tackle backtracking and DP to solve advanced computer science problems
- Build stronger skills in tree and graph traversal now with more advanced variations
- Learn about the different approaches of DP and which approach is preferred by recruiters
- Understand when you should prioritize learning DP and when you should invest your time elsewhere
