Data Structures and Algorithms: Deep Dive Using Java (Udemy.com)

The course is well-taught, emphasizing fundamentals, and is suitable for students who have studied the Java language. The teacher's logic is clear, and even those with no background in data structures and algorithms can keep up. By coding along with the teacher, one can understand important data structures and algorithms. I hope the teacher can add content on backtracking algorithms, greedy algorithms, graph, and DP, as these are very essential knowledge we definitely need to master. I hope to learn these from you.

This was an excellent course though some parts were longer in sections. I am hoping this course is updated in the future so that it will contain the latest and newest algorithms and data structures. Concepts have been taught well, although there are some sections that were longer as mentioned in the above. I took this course in Java but I translated the Java code into C# and now have the entire course as a C# DSA. I wish however, that the same employee code wasn't used for multiple sections since it was a lengthy class and having to recreate it over and over wasn't too satisfying depending on the section.

The course is very well organized, and I am studying and coding every day, but there is some issue. Theory parts are really too long and difficult to keep up with, because the instructor says something without doing anything for a long time through the video. For example, merge sort theory video is 20 minutes long and the first 10 minutes we only see slides with some writing. Please consider that anyone can focus on the screen for a so much long time. Now, I finished list part, and I am in stack part, and I have to say that the teacher and her codes is very clean and easy to understand. Everything is explaining in a reasonable way.

The instructor is very good. I was never able to understand algorithms and data structures this much cleary until I purchased this course. If are having understanding the recursive part of merge sort then just print this int[] leftSiblingArray = new int[mid - start]; for (int i = start, j = 0; i < mid; i++) { leftSiblingArray[j++] = inputArray[i]; } int[] rightSiblingArray = new int[end - mid]; for (int i = mid, j = 0; i < end; i++) { rightSiblingArray[j++] = inputArray[i]; } System.out.println("left sibling array: " + Arrays.toString(leftSiblingArray) + ", right sibling array: " + Arrays.toString(rightSiblingArray)); just before the merge function call.

Most of the other courses that I have gone through in the past only had the theory of DSA explained in their courses. But this course in particular becomes the favourite as every concept in this course is explained well through its coding implementation in Java. Really appreciate the efforts of Sarah and Tim. Best part of the course: The challenges provided in each section. Thanks a Lot!!!

A good quick course on data structure using java. Provides good understanding of different DS types. Coding videos are also good and teaches the clean and brief coding. To the people taking these course- I suggest to watch the implementation videos for a 2nd or 3rd time with pen and paper with you, if you are having problem in understanding write the code/logics/loops on paper and evaluate them. The implementation shown here are actually very good, short and adhering to clean code standards.

This course is very helpful and practical for let's stay starting Software Engineers like me or people who want to become Software Engineers. It provides almost maximum coverage for the mass of the questions and concerns in today's world when it comes to efficiency and proper handling of memory; even though today technology has evolved and memory has become cheap, and it doesn't matter anymore that much how good our algorithms are thanks to the strong CPUs and RAM memory chips, we need to praise the instructor of this course for putting all of this effort to implement such complex topics and explaining to us all of that complicated stuff. I would have given this course a maximum rating or 5/5 if the following could change (I would change my rating or increase it if such changes could happen): 1- Give the students something that they can get back to before an interview or something to review. The source code is actually really good that we can download it so we wouldn't have to copy it like a copywriter. However, if they are in a format that would make it easier for us to review later on without having to do special arrangements, it would be great. For example, PDF friendly booklet with all the theory and implementation that we can print out and review. 2- I'm taking several courses with Tim's academy and trust me, it's a good academy. However, I failed to notice one tiny problem. Sometimes I asked questions in few courses under the QA section and got answers mostly by Mr. Goran. Sometimes, I feel that the initial or automatic response is like "Cmon man, use your brain, play the videos again and follow word by word; be independent; we are not in Kindergarten". I think that instead of viewing students' questions in such situations as a student who is being lousy or not tentative, maybe we can see it the other way around. Consider those questions as gifts since they mean the following: A- If the student failed to understand something, could it mean that we failed at a certain moment in the lesson to draw attention to something that could have been easy to miss by the student? B- Maybe the student is a bit lost and has a different way of formulating or visualizing things due to different background either academic or professional? :) Maybe a small tip or some good website can help a lot on a specific term that is being used implicitly in the course? Don't get me wrong, this is a great course that I would recommend all my friends to take; the above comments are just suggestions for improvement, that's all :)

A really good course covering a variety of essential computer science topics that any good programmer should know using the Java language. The instructor Sarah goes into the details and mechanics of each algorithm and data structures quite painstakingly and does a great job explaining each topic. There is a good balance of theory and practice throughout this course and that helps immensely in getting a grasp of each topic.

I'm a software developer who uses Java (intermediate experience and knowledge). I enjoyed Tim's Java Masterclass - it helped me a LOT in my work (Particularly with Java 8. We just upgraded to 8 recently). I found this course a good followup - helped me see more of the nuts and bolts behind many Java classes. My work involves frequently using JDBC for data base access, and this course will be very helpful with how I handle the data once I've fetched it from the DB - detailed collection structures, sorts, etc., PLUS explanations of the pros and cons of many of these structures. I'm very pleased with this course and it will definitely help me. Thank you!

This was my first course on Udemy and I really enjoyed learning.I seriously didn't knew that there were so many sort algorithms.Being an Electronics and TeleCommunication Graduate who wants to get into IT industry,I always heard that Data Structures and Algorithms is a key subject to become a better programmer and now I know why.Sarah Mam explains really well and to the point.I am grateful that I chose this as my first Udemy course and I am thankful to her for teaching me such a important subject.The only reason I am not giving a 5 star rating is there should have been Graphs Topic at least a little bit and one or two extra lessons about implementing a Set-Related Program.Please try to add this for students who are going to enroll in this course in the future.I totally recommend this course to anyone who wants to learn Data Structures and Algorithms and it's practical implementations.I am sure I am a much better programmer now due to this course.One again Thank You!!
