In the fast pace of technological advances, there are some constants.

Data Structure is one of the most fundamental subjects in Computer Science. It is the basis to develop your thinking in terms of code. Learning about different data structures can give you a massive edge over the application or website you'll be building.

The same is true for algorithms. There are implementations to solve the same problem but with better time complexities.

A majority of self-taught programmers skip the fundamentals of Computer Science. They jump directly to the development process and the most in-demand skill in the industry. The most popular technologies can change overnight, but the fundamentals like Data Structures and Algorithms stay.

These subjects are the core of the industry, and learning about them would give you an edge over other developers who skip them mindlessly.

Learning about different data structures and the fundamentals of algorithms can take you to a whole new level.

The Smart Programmer

You don't want to be someone who uses a single data structure like a dictionary for everything.
