Udemy video courses on data structures and algorithms, taught by several different instructors. Commenters most often mean Colt Steele's course, with others by Scott Barrett, Andrei Neagoie (Zero to Mastery), Tim Buchalka and Mosh Hamedani mentioned.

Commenters call it a practical, well-taught way to learn data structures and problem-solving strategies for interviews and LeetCode-style problems, especially Colt Steele's version, which one commenter found the best visual course they had seen.

    Check out DSA course on Udemy by Scott Barrett . It is the best course ( visual ) that I came across so far !

  2. Recommendspapa-harer/ExperiencedDevs2023in “Senior engineer - Is a CS masters worth?”▲ 1

    Don't. School doesn't teach you to be a developer. Take some Udemy data structures and algorithms classes if you feel like you're really missing something.

  3. Recommendspsycoptipath52r/learnprogramming2022in “Is Leetcode hard or am I an idiot?”

    Read "Think Like a Programmer" or check out Colts data structures and algorithms course on udemy. They helped me a ton. Just problem solving strategies for coding

  4. Recommendsistira_baleginar/learnprogramming2022in “How much beyond CS50 does one need to become a hirable junior dev?”

    CS50P is a great continuation if you want to do backend/data. CS50w is not as quality, the internet seems to like The Odin Project. Freecodecamp recently released a well done 18 hour backend boot camp using Fast API. Take a DS&A course. The best I found is an $18 one by Colt Steele, who also has a…

  5. Recommendsbcer_r/learnprogramming2022in “Trying to learn DSA... Need Advice”

    I’m also going into my senior year and studying DSA. I was suggested to read CLRS and it’s very good. I’m also taking Mosh Hamedani’s DSA courses. CS50 has lectures on both Algorithms and Data Structures which were great as well!

  6. RecommendsMamaa-kimr/learnprogramming2022in “The Odin Project is great but people should be more realistic about what it teaches”

    Im sorry to hear that but I get it tbh. They can be hella rude. Personally I recommend if you’re struggling with JavaScript freeCodeCamp.org that starts from absolute basics, CSX which you do a little quiz and it places you at the level you’re currently at or Scrimba which I believe has a free…

  7. Recommendsasquatch1r/learnprogramming2021in “Can you diagnose my (programming-) learning disability?”▲ 2

    Personally, I think the issue is not understanding the underlying processes under everything before jumping into a project. That is one issue that people who can be really good feel like they aren't because they don't know where to start, and because you are self learning you arent being guided or…

  8. RecommendsIrishdude77r/learnprogramming2020in “Best YouTube Playlist to Learn Data Structures and Algorithms?”▲ 9

    I definitely recommend his Udemy course, currently going through the data structures and algorithms course and it’s great so far.

  9. RecommendsStateVsPropsr/ExperiencedDevs2020in “Self-taught, 1.5 year exp with front-end development, wanting to get more well-rounded”▲ 0

    Colt Steele has a great course on udemy for data structures and algorithms

  10. Recommendstocqueville95r/learnprogramming2020in “Zero to mastery is offering a free 6 months if you were laid off due to the coronavirus.”▲ 4

    I have several of his courses: - Data Structureel + Algorithms - Complete Python Developer - Complete Junior to Senior Web Developer Roadmap - Advanced JavaScript Concepts I've learned a lot from them. Andrei is an enthousiastic teacher and he can explain daunting topics really well. It's…

  11. Recommendsmrich6347r/webdev2019in “Do you guys think coding bootcamps teach you everything you need to be a good developer?”▲ 1

    It depends on the person and bootcamp. I attended one and it turned out to be an amazing choice for me. I am straight out of high school and was able to find 2 amazing jobs so far. Bootcamps will teach you the basics and how to learn on your own. It is up to you to get the most out of it however…

  12. RecommendsLutaHamutukr/webdev2017in “Where do I start? Seriously need help”

    I would check out codeschool.com. I really liked their beginner's JavaScript course, and all of their content is free this weekend. I would also check out some good YouTube channels like Fun Fun Function and Wes Bos. And there are seem to be a lot of great JavaScript courses on Udemy. I'm doing…

  13. MentionsConfidenceExpress664r/learnprogramming2023in “Learn programming in 4 Weeks”

    When you say learn programming in 4 weeks, I’m not trying to be harsh, but that’s impossible. Software engineering is constant learning. Sometimes I learn more in 4 weeks than I did in the previous 6 months combined. Everything builds on itself and if you’re in the right job, doing the right…

  14. MentionsDangleMyBerriesr/webdev2020in “What is the best course on React in 2020 on any learning platform?”▲ 1

    I second this! Colt Steele is a great teacher. I forgot about his react course when I answered sadly.😅 Colt’s javascript courses are great as well ( Data structures and algorithms, javascript boot camp, etc) If you want a feel for his teaching style before getting the course take a look at his…

  15. Mentionswulfcastle17r/learnprogramming2019in “I WANT TO LEAVE MY JOB IN INSURANCE FOR ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE. HOW CAN I DO IT?”▲ 3

    If you are proficient up to linear algebra and discrete math than take “the complete java master course” on Udemy by Tim Buchalka. It’s $10 dollars and worth every penny. After, take his course on Data Structures and Algorithms. This will take you about 10-12 months to complete if you study full…

  16. Mentionsdarkhorsehancer/learnprogramming2017in “How do I learn algorithms and data structures ?”

    I'll tell you what I did that worked. Practice. A ton of it. First, get a small whiteboard. Practicing on a whiteboard will prepare you interviews and give you tools to communicate your solutions in a visual way. Take a couple of data structures and algorithms courses online. The content found on…
