Overview

Content

Reviews

Data structures and algorithms are central concepts of computer science in general and software development in particular. Logging, transforming, and analyzing data are core skills in both real-world applications and coding interviews. This course is a detailed guide for data structures and algorithms with specific applications in the Go programming language. You’ll learn basic data structures starting with arrays, stacks, queues, hash tables, and trees. You’ll then process the data with common techniques, including greedy algorithms and dynamic programming. At each step, you’ll review implementation details with consideration for time complexity, hands-on coding exercises, and thorough explanations of the principles at hand. By the end of this course, you’ll have the confidence to solve any problem using the fundamentals of computer programming in Go.
