We started the DSA program two months ago to teach 200+ people about data structures and algorithms. It has been an incredible journey; we’ve gotten a lot of positive feedback and watched our students grow.
Here’s a recap of what we’ve done so far 🧵

On September 18th, 2022, we kick-started the program with the first module: Strings, Lists and Arrays.

Today (Nov 27th) begins our final lecture week for this cohort.
@bruteforceboy
taught about Dynamic Programming (DP).
He carefully explained how DP improves exponential algorithms and how to build a (top-down | bottom-up) DP solution using multiple examples.

For 6 days during the week of Oct 16th,
@_alternatewolf
went on a call at 7am daily to solve questions with the cohort members. We called these problem-solving sessions Module X 🤓.
The questions touched on many topics, including trees, recursion, sorting and searching.

We shared stories of how the program has already helped members of the cohort solve problems better at their jobs. We gave each other advice and encouragement.
It was very emotional for all of us.

At the event, we spent some time reflecting on the program. We reminded students about what they’ve learned and how to take the next step with that knowledge. We talked about the things that went well and didn’t go so well.

@The_NemeE
also gave some sage advice about interviewing based on her own experience. Some of these include:
⁃ Ask clarifying questions
⁃ Mirror the question
⁃ Share multiple approaches
⁃ Bias towards over-communication
⁃ Your interviewer is a resource, so ask questions

On Oct 16th,
@ashinzekene
taught on Trees (Module 5a).
He explained how binary, n-ary, and binary search trees work, how they store data, and the different operations a BST allows (e.g. inorder, preorder and postorder traversals). He also implemented a BST.
