There i was on Youtube every time i click on a video bam!!! an Ad concerning algorithms another one and another and another, then it occurred to me what do i know about algorithm i was not in college could not afford it i was a 19 year old who had no idea what binary search was but lord knows i wasn't no crappy programmer…Lol.. maybe i am butttttttt….. i knew i had to do something about and i had to be real about it for sure i wasn't going to get hired by google thats for sure and i was not going get hired by any FAANG to be honest mobile development was more of what i enjoyed, sure you can say we 90% of the time don’t use Algorithms most libraries already implement this buttttt i had my ego on the line i wanted to be as good as those “i ranked bla bla on hacker rank”, “here’s my tip to be good at Data Structure and Algorithms. No hate am just saying they do inspire me to become better as a programmer everyday. I had the drive i had the almost good programming skills plus i can improve on my language pro-efficiency while i was working on my algorithm skills heres what i could dig up for my personal road map. With that out the way.

LETS DO THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

STEP 1: was look for #FREE resources online Youtube for sure and after mush mush mush searching i found the right channels and the right books that work for me

STEP 2: Create a study plan for these algorithms, i decided to pick an move at the book pace not the videos or articles, then dedicate one week to a single algorithm lets say i was on Binary Search i’d dedicate a week to it become it know it break it enjoy it am talking time complexity building projects and incorporating the algorithm into it

STEP 3: Document my journey that’s why am here

And Thats my journey into the world of Data Structure And Algorithms i’ll be updating once i understand an algorithm well enough to teach and by the way this is a personal blog so i’ll be writing alot about my personal interest if your into that kinda stuff then do check back again.Thank You and HAPPY CODING!!!
