I am thrilled to share my recent accomplishment: completing the Data Structures and Algorithms Supreme 2.0 batch from CodeHelp🌟 As a B.Tech Computer Engineering student, I’ve always been passionate about problem-solving and software engineering. This comprehensive course has been an eye-opener, equipping me with essential skills that are highly sought after by top tech companies. Here are some key takeaways from my journey: - Algorithmic Intuition: I played algorithmic puzzles, honing my intuition and understanding of various techniques. From greedy algorithms to dynamic programming, I delved deep into their applications. - Real-world Challenges: The course encouraged me to apply newly learned algorithms to practical problems. Whether it was navigating a massive social network or creating a navigation system, I gained hands-on experience. - Top-notch Material: The course content matches what undergraduate students learn in “Algorithms courses” at leading universities. - Coding Interviews: Armed with my newfound knowledge, I will ace coding interviews. Implementing each algorithmic challenge was both challenging and rewarding. I want to express my heartfelt gratitude to Love Babbar, Lakshay Kumar bhaiya, and the Code Help team for curating such an outstanding course. Their dedication to quality and practicality truly sets them apart. 🙌 If you’re considering venturing beyond Algorithms, I encourage you to explore more complex challenges and even complete an equivalent of a graduate-level algorithms course. Remember, as computer science legend Donald Knuth said, “I don’t understand things unless I try to program them.” Thank you, CodeHelp, for this incredible learning journey! 🚀 #DataStructures #Algorithms #CodeHelp #CareerGrowth

Thomas E. Kurtz (1928–2024) Thomas E. Kurtz, co-creator of the BASIC programming language, leaves behind an entire legacy that shaped the tech landscape as we know it. In the 1960s, Dr. Kurtz, alongside John G. Kemeny, believed to make computing accessible to everyone, not just scientists and engineers. 🖥️ Key Contributions: Co-created BASIC (Beginner’s All-Purpose Symbolic Instruction Code), a simplified programming language that democratized access to computing. Pioneered the Dartmouth Time-Sharing System, allowing multiple users to share a computer simultaneously, an early prototype to cloud computing. Empowered countless students, including a young Bill Gates, by making programming interactive. Dr. Kurtz’s vision of democratizing technology revolutionized education, inspired innovation and continues to inspire in today’s AI digital era. Thomas Kurtz leaves behind an incredible legacy. #Innovation #Programming #Legacy #BasicLanguage

#BlindCoders #InclusiveEducation #TechNetworking Hey everyone! 👋 I recently came across a book that genuinely resonated with me: Code by Charles Petzold. As a blind software engineer, I devoured it in just two days! 📚💨 The way Petzold explains braille as a form of code and dives into how computers work hit home for me in a way that most traditional courses never did. Here are a few thoughts that stood out to me: Intuitive Learning: I discovered that the second set of ten letters in the braille alphabet mirrors the first except for one raised dot. This connection made grasping binary digits so much easier than the techniques I encountered in school! Seeking Higher Education: I’ve been toying with the idea of pursuing a Computer Science degree, but I often wonder: can traditional universities truly accommodate my learning style? 🤔 Past Experiences: I tried a Python course designed for the blind earlier this year, but it felt too repetitive sin... How Can I Build a Tech Network with Engaging Learning Methods? Answers: https://lnkd.in/gmF8nrar
