What Will I Learn?

• Visualise – really vividly imagine – the common data structures, and the algorithms applied to them

• Pick the correct tool for the job – correctly identify which data structure or algorithm makes sense in a particular situation

• Calculate the time and space complexity of code – really understand the nuances of the performance aspects of code

Requirements

• Basic knowledge of programming is assumed, preferably in Java

Description

This is an animated, visual and spatial way to learn data structures and algorithms

• Our brains process different types of information differently – evolutionarily we are wired to absorb information best when it is visual and spatial i.e. when we can close our eyes and see it
• More than most other concepts, Data Structures and Algorithms are best learnt visually. These are incredibly easy to learn visually, very hard to understand most other ways
• This course has been put together by a team with tons of everyday experience in thinking about these concepts and using them at work at Google, Microsoft and Flipkart

What’s Covered:

• Big-O notation and complexity
• Stacks
• Queues
• Trees
• Heaps
• Graphs and Graph Algorithms
• Linked lists
• Sorting
• Searching

Who is the target audience?

• Yep! Computer Science and Engineering grads who are looking to really visualise data structures, and internalise how they work
• Yep! Experienced software engineers who are looking to refresh important fundamental concepts
