Learn Algorithms and Data Structures in Java

Course details

Programs are created from algorithms and data structures. Mastering these is an essential part of your development as a Java programmer. They are the main building blocks for each architectural pattern. Many courses treat data structures and algorithms as a theoretical computer science topics. This course relates every technique back to real-world problems and situations you will face working as a programmer.

You will start off with data structures before diving deeper into hash tables and hash functions. This will allow your programs to find the in-memory data they need, even with huge quantities of records stored in the memory. Youll learn to use querying binary search trees. The course will take you through heapsort, quicksort, recursion, and tail recursion algorithms. Youll get familiar with multithreading algorithms and probabilistic algorithms. Youll also understand the importance of advanced data structures and graph algorithms. This will help you to build priority queues and save your time by keeping disgruntled users at bay.

User databases and minimal computing requirements are on the rise. It's important to write sophisticated applications and run them with improved performance, and this course helps you write these applications. It will help you to gain in-demand knowledge of key data structures and algorithms and prepare you for the next stage in your career as a developer.

About the Author

Tomasz Lelek is a Software Engineer who programs mostly in Java and Scala. He is a fan of microservice architectures and functional programming. He dedicates considerable time and effort to being better every day. Recently, he's been delving into big data technologies such as Apache Spark and Hadoop. He is passionate about nearly everything associated with software development.

Tomasz thinks that we should always try to consider different solutions and approaches before solving a problem. Recently, he was a speaker at several conferences in Poland - Confitura and JDD (Java Developer's Day) and also at Krakow Scala User Group.

He also conducted a live coding session at Geecon Conference.
