Practical Data Structures & Algorithms

If I had to pick the single most important topic in software development, it would have to be data structures and algorithms. Think of it as the fundamental tools available to every computer programmer. The better you get with these tools the more confident a programmer you’ll become. Software development is a vast field requiring all kinds of skill-sets but getting good at this topic is a huge leap forward in your programming journey and it’ll certainly pave the way for a successful programming career.

The topics in this course are going to cover data structures such as lists, stacks, queues, trees and some of the most powerful sorting, searching, and graph algorithms that have revolutionized the field of computing. Throughout the course I keep things practical and provide real life examples of how all of these algorithms work and when & where they can be applied to write efficient computer programs.

I’ll be moving at a slow and steady pace introducing each topic followed by a PRACTICAL programming assignment so you can immediately apply what you learned. All homework assignments in the course will be accompanied with step by step solution videos demystifying each problem as I code up the solutions. My goal is to make sure, that after you complete this course you feel completely confident going into a coding interview because you will have built a solid foundation in computer programming. So go ahead and signup and I’ll see you in the course.

    What fellow students have to say about this course?

    "I changed careers in late 2016 from banking to software development. I started off with basic knowledge of HTML, CSS and a bit of Javascript. When I go my first job, I was overwhelmed by the fact that they were using Java with MySQL in the Backend. I had never used this stack before and was barely able to understand what a "Class" was. Your courses in SQL and OOP with Java helped me immensely to navigate the codebase. I could finally "see" the implemented patterns and understand and write my own SQL queries. From then on, I was able to start pumping out features. Fast forward a few years and I am now a Senior Developer. Thank you so much for your courses! It helped me to keep motivated and grow as a developer."

    "I wanted to take a moment to share my feedback on the Oracle course I completed under your guidance. The course has been an invaluable experience for me, significantly contributing to my professional growth and enhancing my abilities in the SQL ecosystem. First and foremost, the course provided me with a comprehensive understanding of the database technology stack. From the fundamentals to the advanced concepts, I appreciated the structured approach taken in delivering the course material. The clarity and depth of the content allowed me to grasp complex topics with ease, filling gaps in my knowledge and empowering me to tackle real-world challenges more effectively. In conclusion, I am immensely grateful for the course and the impact it has had on my workplace and career. Once again, thank you for providing such an enriching learning experience. I highly recommend this course to anyone seeking to enhance their Oracle expertise and achieve professional growth."

    "JRP was a huge help. The beginning where you separated the 2 routes (Analyst vs. Engineer) helped users sift through what they needed to learn. I first wanted to go analyst, which I used to land a job as a Business Analyst at a top fashion company. This showed me how to use SQL and some Python, from start to finish. What I mean by that is you gave clear instructions in a calm voice, on how to get started from scratch (IDE setup, fundamentals, and providing simple case studies). What was REALLY helpful was that you would constantly provide little caveats/hints/tips that only a seasoned engineer/analyst would know. This is very important. I then started your engineer route, and although I did not stick fully through that like I did the analyst route, it was a huge help in getting started with code and its fundamentals as well. I was able to create my own mini-projects, then finally graduated to implementing distributed systems and creating more projects. Finally, with the push from your courses, I started grinding Leetcode to prepare for interviews. The tl;dr here is that your content holds the user's hand early, provides challenging questions for a beginner, and gives information that they wouldn't be able to easily find otherwise on the internet unless they specifically knew what they were asking. In fact, I still to this day refer your jobreadyprogrammer courses to friends who are interested in getting into the programming/analyst route."

    "I used Job Ready Programmer to greatly improve my SQL skills and learn new Tableau skills for my current Data Analyst career. I intend to utilize the Java and other courses as I transition my career into a Full Stack Developer."
