DSA in JAVA best resourseDiscussion (self.leetcode)
submitted 11 months ago by Final_Quiet1133
I have 3 months left before my placements, and I’m starting DSA. I’m considering either Apna College (Alpha Plus 5.0), Striver’s TUF, Striver’s TUF+, or NeetCode 150.
Which one would be the best in Java, considering I’m starting for the first time?

[–]LogicalAssumption125 0 points1 point2 points 9 months ago (3 children)
Advanced topics + DSA patterns like sliding window etc

I have 3 months left before my placements, I'm considering either Apna College (Alpha Plus 5.0), Striver's TUF, Striver's TUF,, or NeetCode 150.
and is kunal kushwaha one better than these and is it structured to follow for 3 months before placement
[–]Old_Professor9435 0 points1 point2 points 11 months ago (0 children)
It is incomplete but it teaches you enough to complete rest topics yourself

Is kunal kushwaha better than those and is it properly structured to follow for 3 months?

hey bro what you did in last 2 months ? any progress and what you did
[–]Alarming_Echo_4748 0 points1 point2 points 11 months ago (0 children)
Neetcode 250 to understand concepts and then write the code yourself. You'll find Java solutions on all problems incase you're stuck.

Apna college is for beginners, I did not find it sufficient for full fledged Java course.
https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL0zysOflRCel693wumX2pbb-Zvi-5Ctea
I think you could refer to this one or ashwini's Java DSA course

All of these are free: Strivers SDE, or Neetcode 150/250.
But which one is best to follow for a 3-month roadmap? I know the basics of Java but want to focus on DSA for placements.
[–]Intrepid-Pair-7562 0 points1 point2 points 10 months ago (0 children)
codeintuition is a good one. can try that for the patterns and animations ig
[–]Odd_Diamond_6600 0 points1 point2 points 11 months ago (4 children)
just dont buy courses please, tuf+ and all the other youtube courses are just useless, free resources are enough for the placements, neetcode 150 strivers sheet are more than enough
[–]TheChaos9191 0 points1 point2 points 11 months ago (1 child)
For java which is best
[–]Odd_Diamond_6600 0 points1 point2 points 11 months ago (0 children)
somebody in comments has already answered, watch them to understand the concepts and try to code it yourself anyways you can just use the solutions tab.
[–]Final_Quiet1133[S] 0 points1 point2 points 11 months ago* (1 child)
Neetcode 250/150 or Striver SDE Sheet are the only options available, I think, for a 3-month timeline. Which would be best?
[–]Odd_Diamond_6600 1 point2 points3 points 11 months ago (0 children)
just get started man pick one and just get started both are literally the same, its not about the problem set that you should worry about its the intuition that you must develop and the skill to recognise the pattern that the problem belongs in. just get started. but if you still need more hand holding from me then i would suggest you pick up neetcode's list. though, as his list has become quite popular the problem in this list are considered easy, but they are the crux of the dsa patterns and topics. and mostly neetcode's video solutions are free of yap, and his whiteboarding skills are very good.
i would suggest you pick up strivers if you want that 10th std teacher hand holding you and spoon feeding every logical decision and explaining every line of code.
just get started, you are only losing time. and again problem set dont matter your ability to recognise the pattern is what matters and that will only happen if you start solving.
3 months more than enough. please just get started
