Just learn DSA(solve problems) and whatever is required for it to solve in C++, google it!

Consultant

Hello, I am currently learning c++ so my question is that whether should I learn c++ first and then dsa or to study them together?

C++ and dsa together?

C++ and dsa together?- Grapevine

Welcome to IT Company Discussion's Private Community

I am currently learning c++ so whether should I completely learn c++ first and then learn dsa or together learn them?

I am currently working as a front end engineer (ReactJS) in an Indian Service based company. I have a pretty solid front end knowledge. My end goal is to be a full stack developer. So I was about to start backend engineering. But also I want to switch to a nice product based company (end goal is ofcourse MAANG type company). 
Currently I have 1+ years of experience.
It's not like I don't enjoy DSA, I enjoyed Development over DSA. My DSA skill is very basic for now (I know arrays, hashmap, two pointers thats all)
So My question is when to start DSA?
Because If I start DSA now then I need to at least give 1 year to DSA. But then I will not be able to do Backend.
Most people also say not to do dev and dsa in parallel.
So suggest something to me.
Should I do Backend first then do DSA or
Should I do DSA then do dev
Or should I do both at the same time??

I know I need to invest 3 to 4 hours daily if I need to be a full stack engineer with strong DSA skill. I am ready to be in discipline.

Right time to start DSA

Software Developer

Welcome to Software Engineers's Private Community

I don't know c/c++ or even java . Basically any such language which deals with pointers and all. I practice dsa in Javascript. Have worked on mern till now and want to aim for faang level companies.I even planntonlearm golang next. 
I want to ask if shall I learn c c++ etc or continue on my path.

DSA and software engineering without c/c++

I am a Golang Developer, with around 3yr of experience. Previously, in college, I have practiced DSA in C++. Also, I knew some Java which I used while learning OOPS(LLD) in college.

Now since I am considering to switch, I need to revise and practice DSA again.

For the last 3 years I have not touched C++ or Java and I love working in Golang. But, now I am in a dilemma.

Question: Should I try to relearn the syntaxes of C++ for DSA? 

Question: For LLD, since Golang does not support “pure” object oriented programming, should I try to practice those in Java? 

Question: Will it be worth the effort to relearn the syntaxes for the languages I did not use for a long while, for interview preparations?

Interview advice needed: DSA & LLD

Software Engineer

Is it okay to start learning DSA with Javascript?

Does it matter which language I use in interviews to solve DSA questions? My majority of work has been in Java/Python. I have practiced DSA in C++.

DSA Language

I am a full stack developer with 2.5 years of experience currently working at a global MNV. My current skill set includes java, angular, spring boot framework. 

I am planning for a switch. I read on the internet that to crack a MAANG or some company of that level you need to have a good understanding of Data Structures and Algorithms(DSA).

How to start with DSA preparation. I see there are a lot of resources. I feel overwhelmed by seeing all of them. 
Are there any good structured courses which teach DSA.

Gudinace on Switch

I’m a college grad from IIT in CSE. I haven’t done any competitive coding or any proper coding during my college days for that matter. I have lost confidence in myself for some reason. I had taken up a business job but left it in a few months because I thought I could do better. 
I want to do competitive coding but as soon as I open my laptop, anxiety kicks in. 
I need guidance on how to proceed and what recourses should I use. 
I don’t want to waste my degree as I feel I can do better than my previous job. 

Please help me on fighting my demons.

Confused about how to proceed in life

I'm not able to solve DSA Problems (Med - Hard). I have my placements in 6 months and while I have good Development Skills but my DSA Skills are lacking. Every time I try to solve a question I get stuck and copy the code from the discussion section. I want to get out of this hell!! 😭🙏

Finding DSA quite Tough

I am actually a nodejs developer 2 yoe . I feel that Javascript is not sort of ideal language to learn and practices dsa and competitive programming. 
Except Javascript, I am not good in any pgm language. 
Can anyone guide me which language I shall choose... My thoughts are like

1. C++ :- most preferred language for dsa and cp but has almost no application in majority of Indian IT industry. Learning c++ would mean learning it only for dsa and no other application. 

2. Python :-  Has good application in industry but not sure about anything else. Heard that there are complex data structures pre built so not an idea choice.

3.Java :- Very much becoming sort of legacy language, too many fremworks etc and not to mention I scored 40% in java in my college so totally abhoring it. 

Please guys, give me suggestions and help me.. I have around 8 months to learn language and practice dsa, cp and all

Which Language Should I Choose for DSA Python/Java/c++ ?

Can anyone share best resources to learn DSA (Data Structures & algorithms ) please ?

I have knowledge and working on 3 languages javascript, typescript and golang with 3 yoe. Never learnt or appeared for dsa, now seems very difficult to learn 4th language c++ java or python.
Can anyone tell me what to do.

4th language just for dsa

Happy to connect with like minded people to start learning and building together.

Been on a job break for around 2 months, joined not so great startup with 10% hike. What should be my approach now in learning to get 40-50 LPA in an year? What tech stack to move to? Please guide. Currently has 2.5 yoe with 28 base ctc.
