Course Description
Once you know the basics of Java, you will want to start figuring out Algorithms and Data structures.
Used correctly, your code will run faster, and use less memory, and be more stable, with the efficient use of the right Algorithms and data structures.
But the reverse is also true. When used incorrectly, you can find your code consuming more memory and running slower!
Programmers who understand how to use and implement Algorithms and data structures correctly, are in high demand. Until now, acquiring the knowledge of how to do things the right way has been a painful process of learning by trial and error.
All that has changed with the release of this brand-new course - Advanced Algorithms in Java.
Marcos Costa, is an expert Java developer with 18 years of experience. Early in his career he realised the importance of understanding algorithms at a deep level.
Soon he began to get noticed by his peers for his knowledge and rose to Tech Lead Engineer.
His skills took him to positions all over the world, including Australia and the USA where he now resides.
Now he created a course designed to help Java programmers to really understand algorithms at a deep level.
What will you learn in this course?
You’ll learn to become a better problem solver, by using better implementations and making better decisions with your coding.
Marcos will explain to you in an easy to follow and understandable way, how to implement a number of algorithms that you can put to good use in your own projects.
Follow along, line by line as the algorithms are developed, and watch it execute, and get a deep understanding of how the algorithms work.
Unlike most other courses, you will actually understand how to put together and use these algorithms in your own code. This course is heavily practical – its not just boring theory and slides that you see in many other courses that target the same topics.
What topics are covered in the course?
You will learn five different Pattern Matching algorithms.
Lempel-Ziv-Welch Algorithm
Huffman Compression
Prefix Tree or Trie Tree
Suffix Trie
Suffix Tree
You will implement two version of Boyer Moore algorithm (the simplest and easiest and the more complex).
And then implement the Suffix Tree from O(n2) to only O(n).
This is a very long, complex and interesting implementation!
What benefits will you get out of the course?
You will learn and understand complex algorithms.
Improve your confidence in interviews as a result of what you have learned in the course.
Write better Java code, that is more efficient and optimized, factoring in your newly found understanding of memory vs processor trade-offs.
Quite literally, you will take your Java skills to the next level.
Why enrolling in this course is the best decision you can make.
This course helps you to understand how to implement a number of core algorithms. You will come away with a detailed understanding of how they work, and how to apply what you have learned into your own programs.
You’ll be able to write better Java code, and as a result your programs will be better optimized for execution and use less resources.
After completing this course, you will be able to add the algorithms you have learned into your arsenal of skills, giving you more opportunities to further your career.
The sooner you sign up for this course, the sooner you will have the skills and knowledge you need to increase your job or consulting opportunities. Your new job or consulting opportunity awaits!

I really enjoyed this course. We often take for granted some of the algorithms that are commonly used to help with search and compression because there are libraries and modules that will abstract these concepts for us, but I have always wanted to know how things work and this course does just that.

All the content very usefully great explanation.
By Nicolas Rodriguez Boschi on 2/2/2022
The content is good, but in all the lessons that you are "pointing" something we never see where you are pointing, so that makes very hard to understand what are you talking about.
By Quincy Roman on 9/26/2021
Came looking to get a better handle on algorithm writing for my profession, started off very basic, good for beginners. Looking forward to the main parts of the course.
By David Schneider on 2/25/2021
The content is very good, but the sound quality is a bit poor, because sometimes words are like cutted and then repeated (or not).. as if there was a bug on your recording tools. This is annoying and sometimes it leads to information loss. But besides that, the information itself is very good explained and useful for further programming. I do recommend this course
By Ofeliia Bagratian on 2/2/2020
This course should MUST! be advertised more, I wish I came across this course years back when I just started studying Computer Science. I have spent a lot of time doing problem-solving, but I had to guess things and struggled a lot. I really enjoy this systematic approach in the course to introduce the algorithms. Also, I appreciate that the instructor is doing Unit Tests for each algorithm, this is very professional.
By Avnish jain on 11/18/2019
Very good course for advanced algorithms on pattern matching, compression and tries. Has in depth details for all the algorithms.
By Larry E. Dickey, Jr. on 6/19/2019
This is a pretty advanced course on algorithms, as the title suggests, but I've found the instructor to be very thorough with his explanations and descriptions of the material. It is definitely what I was expecting, and I am enjoying taking the course.
By David Boaz on 7/1/2018
He broke down some algorithms into small individually testable methods/functions that made something that initially seemed complex become fairly straight-forward. I hadn't looked into compression algorithms much previously, I was surprised how good it was for relatively little code.
By Negib Khalef on 5/24/2018
Excellent, just what I need in my arsenal for coding.
