Demystifying Data Structures
- When: Friday, Sept 2 (9am - 4pm)
- Where: Sunriver Resort
- Instructor: Brook Riggio
🫣Intimidated by data structures and algorithms? 🙀Fearing the traditional whiteboard interview? Has your educational journey not yet presented you with a proper introduction 🧑🏫to the classic data structures of computer science and Big-O notation?
Let's take some time to tackle these topics and level up 📈your CS skillset! This workshop will be a gentle introduction suitable for devs of all backgrounds. 🧑🍳
We will start with very basic JS objects like { value: 42 }, and build progressively to create (from scratch!) Linked 🔗Lists, Stacks 📚and Queues ♻️, Binary Trees 🌴 and k-ary Trees, and even Hash Tables 🧩.
So whether you are in a job hunt or just hunting for ways to be better at your job, join us for a workshop full of FUNdamental concepts that unlock new developer capabilities. You'll leave with your own repo of data structures you'll understand, because you'll have coded them yourself.
Required: Basic JS coding skills:
- Flow control with loops and conditionals.
- Familiarity with JS data types like strings, booleans, arrays, objects.
- Creating objects with properties and methods.
Not required:
- No CS degree required
- No degree of any kind required
