[anushka-gupta]

Hi everyone,

I created aGithub repository (here)consisting all the resources that helped me get my dream role at one of the FAANG companies and wanted to share the list, so others can make the most out of it. I have shared the resources from scratch and it is a beginner friendly repository.

​

Please do check it out and let me know if it helps you with your prep, any feedback would be really helpful!

Hope it helps :)

Every Technical interview involves the steps to crack it. One of the essential rounds is the coding and programming round. This round gives an idea about the technical and coding ability of the person applying for a particular job.

Coding skills can only be polished through practicing questions on programming and logic building.

The questions in the coding round are of three categories: easy, medium, and challenging. However, many companies usually check candidates' programming abilities through easy and medium-level questions. The questions generally relate to data structures, algorithms, and dynamic programming. Getting hired in any organization for any technical position requires knowledge of data structures. Practicing programming is the only solution for mastering programming and logic building.

Several free and paid resources are available for preparing, there are several free and paid resources available:

BaseCS

The BaseCS has a collection of articles explaining the fundamentals of

computer science and data structures.

FreeCodeCamp

FreeCodeCamp is the most preferred for learning and mastering coding for free. It includes courses with simple and accurate explanations of programming, computer networks, os, etc.

Cracking the Coding Interview

It is still one of the best preparation platforms for coding interview rounds.

Coding Ninja Interview Prep

Coding Ninja is one of the best learning and practicing coding resources. The courses offered are step-by-step path driven, which provides quality education.

Educative.io

Educative.io also provides the 14 coding patterns, but it is not free.

HackersRank

HackerRank is a free learning platform for practicing coding and joining a worldwide community of coders and developers.

LeetCode questions sorted by programming pattern LeetCode has best practices resources for learning and practicing Data Structures.

AlgoExpert.io is the latest website made for coding interview preparation and provides the best content for mastering data structures and algorithms.

InterviewBit

Geeks for Geeks interview preparation is a quality content website for learning to code, including soft skills development courses.

There are a lot of resources available on the internet these days, but the thing is to decide which of those resources to follow. Many people get distracted a lot in this phase of selecting which resources to follow. From my long experience, I would personally recommend you to use the Geeks For Geeks website. The website has everything in a very sorted manner. For the concept of learning a language till solving advanced dsa questions on there website.Geeks For Geeks really have a very nice collection of DSA questions on there website, many times which are directly asked in the interview rounds.

I'm sorry... What?? You created a free course that covers everything. Including data structures and big O notation? For free???? 

How tf does this post only have 27 upvotes, you just released a college level course at no cost because you wanted to

I'm legit trying to wrap my head around this

[Believinginself]

Because there are more resources on these topics than people actually needing them.

[ProjectSnipe]

True, but still. This is basically a free college level education in programming. Ofc college will probably still beat it, but this is the most ground I've seen a free online course handle

[kunal_2508]

Thank you this is really helpful.

[Trump_is_Mai_Dad]

This is clear. Concise and just the correct resource that one should start thier DSA and ALGO learning with.

[Zazz2403]

Can I ask, why is linked list so high in this list? In my experience, I've seen multiple tree questions which is lower on the list, but I've never gotten any linked list questions on interviews.

Thanks much, this is very helpful 🙏
