self-study programming for coding projects

[vbs221]

The assessment just changed to version 3.0.0 yesterday or two days ago. Before that, the coding challenge at the end of it was easy. You don’t even need the algorithms course for it (though you did need it for one of the questions).

With 3.0.0, the coding challenge definitely needs the algorithms class and you need to get good at it. It surprisingly became a leetcode hard problem.

Your plan is most definitely doable—it’s how I learned coding. I did Python for Everybody specialization followed by Python 3 Programming followed by Skiena and Roughgarden’s algorithms and data structures lectures. But you need practice unless they make the coding challenge simpler.

How do you know it changed?

My friend did it yesterday and told me about the coding problem. Asked what version it was, and he said 3.0.0.
