Course overview

And there is a



simple trick



how you can gain a great experience with



transferable knowledge



to other systems. — You take some



complex theoretical field



, which might not (yet) be related to your main job, and



implement



it in a language you’re familiar with.

Why to take this class?

It’s not a secret, that big tech companies, such as Google, Facebook, etc. organize their recruiting process around



generalist engineers



, which understand basic fundamental systems, data structures, and algorithms. In fact, it’s a known issue in tech-recruiting: there are a lot of



“programmers”



, but not so many



“engineers”



. And what does define an “engineer” in this case? — an ability so solve



complex problems



, with understanding (and experience) in those generic concepts.

What are the features of this class?

The main features of these lectures are:

• 
  
  Concise and straight to the point.
  
  
  
  Each lecture is self-contained, concise, and describes information directly related to the topic, not distracting on unrelated materials or talks.
• 
  
  Animated presentation
  
  
  
  combined with
  
  
  
  live-editing notes
  
  
  
  . This makes understanding of the topics easier, and shows how (and
  
  
  
  when
  
  
  
  at time) the object structures are connected.
  
  
  
  Static slides simply don’t work for a complex content!
  
  

What is in the course?

The course is divided into



three parts



, in total of



16 lectures



, and many



sub-topics



in each lecture. Below is the



table of contents and curriculum



.

I hope you’ll enjoy the class, and will be glad to discuss any questions and suggestion in comments.
