Overview

Stuck in Tutorial Hell? Learn Backend Dev the Right Way

Boot.dev teaches Python, SQL & Go through projects you won't want to stop. 25% off with code CLASSCENTRAL.

You might know algorithms, but do you know advanced algorithms? We're not really sure what that means either, because the distinction is a bit arbitrary. In a nutshell, this is an extension of our basic algorithms course, and here you'll learn more niche algorithms and pick up new ways of thinking that will help you advance your career from a junior to a senior developer.

Syllabus

Dijkstra's

Learn about Dijkstra's algorithm, one of the best ways to find the shortest path between two points

Bellman-Ford

Implement the Bellman-Ford algorithm, a specialized way to find the shortest path on a weighted graph

Heaps

Master priority queues and heaps. You'll efficiently find the minimum or maximum element in a collection.

A* Search

The A* algorithm is an advanced search that uses heuristics to guide the search to a more optimal solution

Dynamic Programming

Dynamic programming is all about trading space for time. Learn how we can take exponential problems and make them linear.

Edit Distance

Edit distance is a classic problem in computer science; learn how to solve it with dynamic programming

Linear Programming

Learn about how to solve complex optimization problems

Taught by

Lane Wagner, Allan, Matt, Hunter, and Dan
