An amazing site to practice or learn algorithms, you definitely have to train for these.
A while time ago I failed an interview because I did not undersatand at that moment the differences between class and struct, and how to use async and await in my code.
After 2 hours of studying I got the grasp of them and undesrtood how to use them properly, I was completely devastated about my failure, but this teached me a lesson, you must never stop learning the little things, you have to keep learning about your environment and the tools you use everyday.
I made a list, and focused on these:
- C#
- Keywords
- Concepts
- Patterns
- Cleanliness
- Algorithms
- Unity
- Internal tools
- Plugins
- Patterns
The first part of C# was easy, I just started reading all the Microsoft official documentation and looked for videos on youtube for the usage of each of the things I did not know, this came with a lot of knowledge about concepts and patterns, the cleanliness was the department I was confortable with, my code is usually very structured and standarized.
The second part about Unity is a little more difficult to get good at, because you need to use the things to really understand them, and that takes a lot of time, I have practiced just a bit but I know which tools are available and their purpose, for when I need them I can start right away learning.
The BIG PROBLEM was the algorithms part, usually people only train algorithms for interview tests, but OMG I completely underestimated them until I tried them.
Algorithms give you combined knowledge on problem solving, that’s the thing, is like doing math in the school, you don’t do math to be a mathematician, you do ot because that will make you brain better prepared for overall problem solving.
So…. YOU NEED TO TRAIN ALGORITHMS.
You are missing a lot if you don’t.
And for this I totally recommend Algo Expert, I found it after some training videos on Youtube, it cost a little bit but is TOTALLY WORTH IT, they explain everything so good, with the solution explained on python with written solutions on every language you can think of, also, gives you a certificate after 100 exercises, the quality of all is amazing, and you can find a lot of famous algorithms, like solving Sudoku or Dijkstra algorithm.
Try it and you will thank me, I am sure.
