About this event

Any successful programmer, sooner or later, needs to learn algorithms and data structures. Many interviews at tech companies like Google require you to have knowledge of these concepts. Do not hesitate to join this event to step on the way to becoming tech savvy!
This event series consists of 3 parts:
Algorithms and Data Structures overview
Common Sorting Algorithms
Graph Traversal and Pathfinding
This series is dedicated to making you familiar with basic algorithms and data structures. During the first event, we will learn what Big O notation, Stacks/Queues, Trees, Heaps, and Graphs are.
Requirements:Basic programming concepts
No prior algo or data structures knowledge required
