Course Overview

Coding interviews are becoming increasingly challenging. A few years back, brushing up on key data structures and going through 50 to 75 coding interview questions was more than enough prep for an interview. Today, everyone has access to massive sets of coding problems, and they have become more difficult to account for. The process has gotten more competitive. When our team sat together to brainstorm on ideas to make the interview process easier for candidates, we realized quickly that one skill helped us the most when we were preparing for coding interviews: "the ability to map a new problem to an already known problem." To help candidates with this, we have compiled a list of 33 common coding patterns to help solve coding questions. The idea is that once you are familiar with a pattern, you'll be able to solve dozens of problems with it. The techniques taught in this course have helped developers land jobs at top companies like Google, Meta, Amazon, Oracle, OpenAI, and Microsoft.

I've tried every possible resource (Blind 75, Neetcode, YouTube, Cracking the Coding Interview, Udemy) and idk if it was just the right time or everything finally clicked but everything's been so easy to grasp recently with Grokking the Coding Interview!
