Learning Data Structures with mycodeschool

Having a solid understanding of data structures is on top of my todo list. I’ve looked on Coursera and other resources such as blogs and stackoverflow, but I find them either not comprehensive enough or at the other end of the spectrum, too dense with prerequisite computer science terminologies.

I’ve stumbled upon the mycodeschool channel on youtube.

They have a comprehensive video series on data structures. Don’t mind the silly drawings, or the slight accent at all. He is a great teacher! Some of the topics covered are:

• pros and cons of the common data structures
• why each data structure exist
• how it actually work in the memory
• specific questions/exercises and deciding which structure to use for maximum efficiency
• lucid Big 0 explanation

This is definitely a shout out to these guys at the mycodeschool for keeping it open source.

Here is a screen shot.

I’ve also post meticulous lecture notes on github in markdown for those who prefer to read than watch lectures:
