Crash Course: Algorithms and Data Structures in JS
Mentor — Inna Ivashchuk, Lead Software Engineer at GlobalLogic
This course is a great opportunity to understand the basics that are often ignored in everyday development, but are very important for professional growth!
- You will delve into the following questions:
- Why does a JavaScript developer need to know algorithms and data structures?
- How to evaluate code efficiency and avoid "slow" solutions?
- What is Big O(), Big Ω and Big Θ notation?
- How to write not just working, but optimal code?
As a result, you will gain practical knowledge, understand algorithmic complexity and learn to work with data structures. In addition, the skills you gain will help you prepare for technical interviews and increase your confidence in your own engineering approach to problem solving!
- To better understand the material, we will use a practical approach:
- quizzes to consolidate the theory
- algorithmic problems with Leetcode in the format of collaborative live coding, using VS Code and the Live Share extension.
Language of the event: Ukrainian.
Mentor: Inna Ivashchuk, Lead Software Engineer, GlobalLogic
