Listen "Struggling To Learn Data Structures And Algorithms? Maybe You Shouldn't (Yet)"
Episode Synopsis
Are you an aspiring web developer struggling to learn data structures and algorithms, wondering if you're focusing on the right things at the right time? In this candid conversation with an aspiring developer, we discussed why you might not need to prioritize these complex topics just yet. I shared an alternative approach to learning, practical applications for extra context, and how to prepare for interviews without feeling overwhelmed. Don't skip out on using ChatGPT as a mentor in your journey of learning to code either. You better believe we talked about that as well. I hope this helps!Daniel Chapman (guest):Linkedin - https://www.linkedin.com/in/danjtchapman--------------------------------------------------- 👾 Join Discord - https://discord.gg/TpQe2k8Ab3💻 Learn Frontend (20% off): https://scrimba.com/the-frontend-developer-career-path-c0j?via=donthedeveloper⚙️ Learn Backend (25% off): https://boot.dev/?promo=DONTHEDEVELOPER🐱 Learn NestJS (free) - https://scrimba.com/nestjs-c0n7djgjma?via=donthedeveloper🧠 Advanced Coding (40% off) - https://app.codecrafters.io/join?via=donthedeveloper👥 1 on 1 Mentorship - https://cal.com/donthedeveloper/mentorship🐦 Follow on X - https://x.com/thedonofcodeDisclaimer: Some product links are affiliate links which means if you buy something I'll receive a small commission at no extra cost to you.
