   This is one of the hardest things at first to figure out as a coder. There are so many tools available to you in JavaScript, that the task of choosing one to solve some particular problem requires you know, at least about a good amount of them. But at the same time, a lot of coding challenges can…

   Colt Steele has a fantastic course on Udemy. It’s in JavaScript, but you don’t need deep JS knowledge to be able to follow along. He explains every example very patiently, and he made things so concrete for me that it was the first time I had a lot of CS concepts sink in, despite multiple attempts…

   Colt Steele’s JavaScript Algorithms and Data Structures Masterclass was a godsend for me. A lot of the resources people typically recommend went way too fast for me and used really formal mathematical language that went over my head. Colt Steele is a great teacher and gives really patient…

   I tried the Princeton online course first, but it went way too quickly for me, and I ended up tuning out a lot of the content because the academic language often went over my head. Colt Steele though has a fantastic course on Udemy on data structures and algorithms in JavaScript…

   https://www.udemy.com/course/js-algorithms-and-data-structures-masterclass/ why don't you try this course? i've heard that it is more beginner-friendly than university courses

   I’ve work with and have worked with a ton of folks from big tech and have been both the subject of DSA interviews as well as one that conducts them. The fast track IMHO is to just cover the fundamentals, then apply them ASAP. It’s purely raw practice once stuff makes some sense. The typical…

   You can't learn react without javascript... if you're writing react, you're writing JS. 1. HTML / CSS (simultaneously). 2. Comp-sci and JS i.e. ES5,6,8 (simultaneously). Don't need a degree, but understanding the basics will save you some frustration when dealing with production codebases and…

    You're not a phony, taking a web development in bootcamps don't necessarily correspond to bring able do algos and ds. In my experience, I attended a bootcamp and they go over algo and ds throughout the course. It definitely comes with practice, I would recommend looking into colt steeles…

    Thanks, ewig94. My current situation is that I'm already pretty well off in web development. You definitely don't need math to land a programming job (unless it's related to data science), and specially if you're working on frontend development, and not on something like game development. It's…

    Hey Colt! I am enjoying your Javascript Algorithms and Data Structure Masterclass. Do you have anything else in mind regarding that course?
