Thanks! this is really helpful. I want to both - crack interviews where DS & Algo is considered very important as well as go in depth and learn them. Such companies which give a lot of importance to DS are the ones who actually use it (Amazon fulfillment - for example)

I did read this in college 12 years back. It did get me excited back then. But then I guess I did not get into putting those algorithms into practice when I first started working (working in smaller companies, building simple web applications). I think it will be a good idea to go back to it and start again. Thanks!

Ask HN: How to get better at Data structures and Algorithm?

from the ask-hn dept.

I am a fairly experienced programmer (10 years) and have always worked with startups building prototypes and getting products to product-market fit. I have worked in all kinds of languages Java, C#, Ruby, Elixir. However, I am not good with data structures and algorithms. What do you reckon I should do in order to get good? Any books, tutorials, course, etc that have helped you?
