#249 - Data Structures and Algorithms for Beginners (Replay)
Manage episode 489651271 series 3399111
Learning data structures and algorithms (DSA) isn't JUST a smart interview skill, it will boost your confidence as a software engineer, give you a deeper understanding of computer science fundamentals and they can even be fun once you know how to use them.
If you're self teaching or just starting out with code, they can be intimidating.
They don't have to be.
I break down a pretty comprehensive guide here for learning DSA as well as a video on Binary Search Trees (BST)
