Iโ€™m self studying for a career change into SWE and have finished my first intro to programming course. I have touched upon python very briefly and have realized that to do LC I need a solid understanding of the language as well as Data Structures and Algorithms. I was wondering if there were any recommendations for python courses I can take that would gear me towards getting ready for the DS&A course Iโ€™m planning to take before LC. Also which courses would you recommend for DS&A? Ideally I want to have a solid base before starting LC

  • Donโ€™t pay for learning something as basic as Python with so many free resources out there. Save your money for things like LeetCode grinding and system design.
    Also you donโ€™t need to learn any language before learning Data Structures and Algorithms. Certainly not a specific language.

  • There are courses on educative.io

    I would recommend the following two courses,
    1. Data structures
    2. Coding interview patterns

    I like that they are text/reading based and not videos. There are a lot of other interesting courses as you advance.
    Be patient and stay focused. Good luck.

    • You can learn python by doing the data structures course. If you donโ€™t understand something, just google for that particular thing. I would say, if you have basics of conditionals and loops, dive into data structures.

      Which courses off of code academy would you recommend for my goals. I donโ€™t mind paying for courses as well if they are worth it

      python3 or whichever the main python one is called. if u do some every day, finishing within the trial shouldnโ€™t be a prob. but not expensive if u need more time

      the main advantage is itโ€™s hands on, you write some short code to pass each page of the lesson
