Algorithms in Motion – Beau Carnes

About the subject

An algorithm is a repeatable procedure for solving a problem. The algorithms you’ll use most often as a programmer have already been discovered, tested, and proven. This engaging course makes it easy to learn and use the most important algorithms effectively.

About the video

Algorithms in Motion teaches you how to apply common algorithms to the practical problems you face every day as a programmer. Following the expert guidance of liveVideo instructor Beau Carnes, you’ll start with the basics, including Big O notation, fundamental data structures, and recursion. Then, you’ll explore problem-solving techniques, that will empower you to see the algorithm you need in the task you’re trying to accomplish. Finally, you’ll finish the course by applying more advanced algorithms, such as hash tables, graph algorithms, and K-nearest.

Prerequisites

This easy-to-follow video course is perfect for self-taught programmers, engineers, or anyone who wants to brush up on classic algorithms.

What you will learn

• Search, sort, and graph algorithms
• Breadth-first search
• Performance concerns
• Implementing algorithms in Python
