Python Data Structures And Algorithms: Practical Course (Udemy.com)

The instructor Balazs Holzcer has created an algorithm course that is tremendously ambitious -- and DELIVERS on all of it. A tremendous number of non-trivial algorithms covered related to graphs, balanced trees, sorting, substring searching. I especially appreciate the graph algorithms -- you don't get this quality of coverage of a large number of graph algorithms very often. Bravo! Bottom line -- the visualizations of the algorithms are the core strength of this course and all the algorithm courses that Balazs teaches. The other co-strength is the quality of the python code that is given in the course. I have had little to no problems with the code. This is a huge plus, and is sadly somewhat rare to find. The 3rd strong point is the powerpoint slides are also delivered. Thank you Balazs! This course is a gold mine!

For the price I paid (free), this is a great course. There is a ton of relevant content and interesting explanations of real world applications. Yet, there are too many uncorrected mistakes in the course. For the first half, I can tell many errors were exposed in the comments, then corrected. After that though, many errors aren't corrected. If you don't look at the comments, you won't realize you're learning sometimes suboptimal (and other times just incorrect) content.

Such a great teacher! Mainly just focuses on the important concepts and leaves out a bunch of "fluff". In the video he apologizes a lot for repeating himself, but honestly, I think the repetition was very helpful in reinforcing the concepts. I re-watch the videos even after completing the course because it's so good.

Great course. All the data structures are well explained. Algorithms are well explained. Instructor communication skills are good. These are the below I didn't like: - Font size is extremely small -> Giving eyes the pain. - AVL and Red Black tress, I personally found confusing. I had to refer some youtube tutorials for the same. Overall, I've enjoyed it. Learnt many new things. Thank you.

The information content is excellent and the explanations are clear. The only improvement I can suggest is to reduce the amount of repetition in the explanations. It is clear that the instructor is using the T3 principle (tell them what you're going to tell them, tell them, then tell them what you've told them), which is good practice, but perhaps overdone here.

As pros for this course: + author gives major theoretical backbone for the subjects + he seems has academic background and this is traced in the material as contras: - author should be prepared before lecture and practices. These all replicas "i'm sorry for that" is understandable on live lectures, but not good practice on web-seminar - some of subjects is not fully covered (radix sorting etc) - and ofcourse author should learn the Python; At least major features :) Thank you for all fish.

I used to program based on whatever syntax known.There are few problems which requires certain structure to maintain it.Now, I can able to relate to this Datastructure and my approach towards complex logic is much easier than before. Thanks to the Author who explains clearly on the DataStructure and also explained some practical usage in the real world application.

Excellent course for those looking to understand important data structures and algorithms. The theoretical explanations are well done, along with concrete examples. Most of the data structures and algorithms described are then implemented, which solidifies the concepts and gives you a chance to apply them in a working system. The interview Q and A section is a nice bonus which allows for further review of the concepts.

I've never came across a better roadmap to mastering data structures and basic algorithms! In each section it's not just explained how to perform operations on a data structure and the corresponding time complexities but also the motivation for using it over the others. Incredibilis! Suggestions: 1. Adding content on dynamic programming, backtracking, greedy techniques, sliding window etc would make this course even more awesome!

This course is ultimate guide of Data structure and Algorithm for beginners and as well as professional programmers. Holczer is a very good instructor and he explained everything in detail with practical examples. I really like this course and recommend to other programmers to take it. Thanks a lot to Holczer for this great course.
