Before I post resources, I will like to explain why the need for this, I graduated with Business Admin and self taught myself programming, not just coding but also read Software Engineering books however when it comes to performance you need to be able to analyze your code in order to know how efficient it is, alot of us might know why i say this, if you write services/app/micro-services that receives a large insane amount of requests and load, you will need to ensure that your algorithm are as efficient as possible. I had that gap because I never studied Computer Science only read a few books but now working in a large Enterprise company I understand how important it is, and you should too.

I will be dropping Resources and materials here,


Note: I am learning so I am not an expert so please feel free to contribute so we can all learn, the advantage is that you get to run efficient codes, you can do a runtime analysis to know the Big O of your code and also incase oyinbo people call you for whiteboard test or codility, there will be no need to be doing fasting and prayers or looking for Github solutions.


This article simply states the importance of Algorithm so not just cramming Data Structure but knowing why you should use a specific one over the another

This video has a free material, I know maths but not superbly have you ever looked an algorithm notation and catch headache e.g the image below

Well the course below introduces you to the mathematical way of thinking luckily it's the maths required for programming and algorithm so need learning the whole maths depending on what field of programming you belong to

Introduction to Mathematical thinking

Data Structure

This is important, I remember in the office, I was working on a cordova project that need to handle a list of uploads to be uploaded, but it required it to be in a Queue where as i read a list and it uploads i pop it off the queue till it was finished, yes you can do it in a simpler way but the structure of Queue was easy because the structure made it easy to store and remove the data easily, Currently this is the book i read of DS with C++ there is a Java version too

This thread will be updated from time to time, and those master who have mastered this can also shed important lessons for us. Happy weekend guys

For the maths required: https://ocw.mit.edu/courses/electrical-engineering-and-computer-science/6-042j-mathematics-for-computer-science-fall-2010/index.htm

For algorithms:
https://ocw.mit.edu/courses/electrical-engineering-and-computer-science/6-006-introduction-to-algorithms-fall-2011/index.htm
Its a three sequence algorithm course. This is d first of them.

For general guide on technical development, use this guide given by Google: https://www.google.com/about/careers/students/guide-to-technical-development.html

^ Respect bro thanks

Top marks for this thread, I totally agree with what you've said. As a Node.js guy I also had the writing code to scale challenge. These books are super important for Node/Javascript devs.

OP. Do you still work at this large enterprise company?

No I currently for a Chemical Engineering company , helping to write their application to web from the desktop. Why do you ask ?

I'm resuming this thread too. My DS don dey stale

Wow!

I was just curious.
