Data Structures & Algorithms Roadmap - What You NEED To Learn

Data structures & Algorithms is a MUST-KNOW topic for anyone who wants to be a software engineer. In this video, I'm going to break down exactly what you need to learn, the order in which you should learn it, & give you some details on which you should focus on for each individual topic.
If you want to land a developer job have a look at my software development course with CourseCareers: techwithtim.net/dev

Thank you .

[@Username-dm2ed]

Much appreciated 🙏

[@geerliglecluse5297]

This is GREAT! Not that many videos from reliable sources on YT giving a good overview of what one needs to learn about data structures and algorithms to become a good programmer.

[@FingersMulloyBG]

I found learning and applying evolutionary algorithms to solve computer science problems quite interesting. Such as particle swarm optimization and ant colony optimization.

[@ashraf_isb]

thanks for sharing this, much appreciated

[@knowledgekernels_edu]

Love the way you are teaching 🎉

[@Just_A_Tech.._]

Thank you for sharing.🤝

[@NaderEzzat-jl4el]

Hey there , thanks for all your effort, Tim. Can you please provide a cybersecurity guideline if you may?

[@alimihakeem841]

I appreciate this valuable content Tim. It gives me a starting point on how i can start learning DSA. Please can you make a video on DSA based on the topics you have listed?

[@cppexplorery]

This man really does cool things 💪

[@relaxBygospelMusic]

i really appreciate the way you breakdown the path and Please can you make a video on DSA based on the topics you have listed

[@harmansavla7510]

One request... please prepare a complete, detailed roadmap for machine learning and AI with python, with all resources of books & courses

[@TechWithTim]

I have an entire 7 hours long course with free come camp teaching TensorFlow

[@pullrequest1481]

Upvote!!!

[@_c_v]

​@@TechWithTim is that course for beginners also? Does that cover most of the topics sir?

[@nathanbranson3765]

What is the course called? Tried searching a few keywords but couldn’t find yours.

[@taibecheahmed7148]

Hey tim i hope you see this message thanks for all wonderful tutorials 1 Question: do i need DSA if i am learning machine learning ?

[@datanasov]

Kruskal's algorithm (fundamental algorithm) uses disjoint set (advanced optional learning).

[@rilauats]

On sorting algorithms - from a book I read a long, long time ago: "If you know what bubble sort is - wipe it from your mind. If you don't know - make a point a never finding out!"

[@deus6950]

What does it imply

[@rilauats]

​@@deus6950, bubble sort is example of algorithm that may solve a problem but is so compute intensive that the best you can do is never implement it.

[@whetfaartz6685]

Bet we ain't learning bubble sort with this one​@@rilauats

[@harmansavla7510]

Love this❤

[@PickledHam]

As a coder with 30+ yrs I find data structures, linked list, ect are not as important now as they were decades ago. Most modern languages handle memory management automatically. Although it is still a good knowledge to know what is happening under the hood. These outdated skills only apply if someone is still programming in pure "C" language. Not many of us ole coders still developing anymore.

[@TechWithTim]

Or if you need to pass an interview!

[@utti_12c]

Thank you🙏

[@freespirit4463]

thank you so much

[@garrettsmith315]

Here to say the Skool community is a great place to just chat with other learner/developers. It's the closest I''ve come to enjoying a 'social media' platform .

[@TechWithTim]

amazing to hear that!

[@user-tq5ei5nx4b]

Great content! One request though, I would appreciate it a lot if you could limit your use of effects like zooming in and out or flashing bits of text and images(especially the sound when you used for flashing the text). It disrupts my attention and makes it harder to focus on your otherwise superb content

[@SkyhighNiD]

Can u pls make a video on playwright like u made for selenium.

[@cooshiejam7808]

What if you made a programming language roadmap? I know it’s very subjective but a general roadmap would be interesting

[@mrunknownceo8323]

i learned all of that in 30 classes at school and forgot them after the semester ended, lmao i have to google it again.

[@oad4587]

Hello Tim👋

[@zeo7]

Which language to go with for DSA?

[@user-ts9ks8in2n]

Do you also have an algorithm to read my mind. Bingo. Big thank you Tim.

[@TechWithTim]

Yes I’ve been fine tuning it for a while!

[@user-ts9ks8in2n]

@@TechWithTim now I could see that

[@gokulakrishnan966]

Can i cover the whole in python language?. Is python enough for DSA rounds like java or c++

[@bloodleak1]

nice video

[@flyingbluelion]

Just go back in time to the mid 80s and learn Computer Science at Uni....all of this is there.

[@jesuschrist2029]

I needed this video lol

Perfect

Yep

Any resources to actually learn Big O?

BRO Game Devlopment Need Coding....? I mean Other than Game Engine..... I heard that AAA Games are mostly devloped using C.... That's why I asked Bro You Earned A Sub ❤😗

[@tanmaypatel4152]

Well you can make games without knowing how to code in engines like Unreal engine using their 'blueprints' system.

[@amal_jahan_7]

@@tanmaypatel4152 Thanks 🤍

[@ceejay1353]

Over 50% of new games are being made in Unreal Engine. So you only need to know blue prints depending on the level you're applying at. You're still "programming" and the concepts you learn from this will go a long way (you still have to understand data structures and algos, even with GitHub Copilot) Generally speaking Blueprints is going to be better for rapid prototyping and C++ will be better for fleshing the system out and make it more efficient (they also have a third option which is a specialty language). If you're looking to work in the industry, I do hear Blueprints is enough, but you'll still want to understand programming concepts to be competitive (it will also make your life much easier when you need to solve problems). I do believe most custom engines are built on C/C++ though. At SCHOOLS Unity is more popular because of dogma (it used to be taught that way before Unreal was more accessible so they just kept doing it regardless of it actually being relevant).

[@goosinator6066]

​@@tanmaypatel4152But you lose customization using only blueprints.

[@jigsaw2253]

Recursion is bad, iteration is good

Hello tim, am david from Kenya in africa, here in kenya tech space is not fully utilised, i love to learn coding but poverty is letting me down, in our family we are poor we live from hand to mouth , kindly i would love to transform my life through code and also transform that of my family, kindly tim give me chance in course careers

[@juniorkema5605]

mec , essai de faire aussi des videos en français comme Mr beast , s'il te plait

[@YuriRadavchuk]

I disagree that you should learn big o notation and complexity and without learning it, you should touch data structures. Yes, you should be familiar with them and eventually have a grasp of it. But it shouldn't stop you from learning data structures and how to work with them

[@jrgenolsen3290]

Use datastructures ro undestand time complexity by implementibg them

[@MW-cs8zd]

I'm pending. Lol

[@djcardwell]

didn't realize software engineer was still a thing

[@MacTavish-iq6cq]

Then go and do leetcode

[@mdivic]

I love and watch your videos regularly, Tim. However, those flashes and constant zoom in zoom out effects are so annoying that I had to stop halfway through this video. Some of us do not deal well with overstimulation. I'd kindly suggest you remove them. Your way of teaching is already keeping our attention, it's great. You do not need nuisances like this. I am considering your data engineering course as your talent is in the way you break down the topic and teach! Koodos for that.

[@djcardwell]

philosopher is a more promising career.

[@jigsaw2253]

What do philosophers work besides being philosophy teachers lol
