Description
This course teaches algorithms in javascript from the ground up. Using algorithms in your programming allows you to improve the efficiency, performance, speed, and scalability of your code/applications/programs. You will learn what algorithms are, why they are important, and how to code them out in JavaScript. You will also learn other important programming concepts along the way such as functional programming, time complexity, recursion, and other important concepts, because you will be implementing them in the algorithms that you build throughout this course. This course also heavily uses diagrams and animations to help make understanding the material easier.
This course is also very good for anyone who is interviewing for developer/engineering jobs at both large and small companies. Interviewers will very often ask candidates to write algorithms out in code, and this course will prepare you very well to do that. If you have recently graduated from a coding bootcamp or are currently looking for a job, you will find this course to be beneficial. Knowing algorithms will absolutely help you to excel in technical interviews.

Eric Traub
Software Engineer and Instructor
HI! I'm Eric. I currently work as a software engineer in New York City and I have extensive experience working as a teacher, instructing people in a variety of different subjects. I changed my career from teaching to software engineering because of the excitement it brings me and the passion that I have for it. I am lucky enough now to have the opportunity to combine both of these passions - software engineering and teaching!

It was a good match because I'm just start learning from scratch, so it was really helpful. I just wonder why Instructor doesn't explain when he uses the nested loops in some of the exercises why he decided to go with that method knowing that is not the most efficient. It would be good to know the reason, maybe there's no other way to do it. It'd be good to clarify that and explain in all of the exercises the big O notation time complexity that results from each exercise. Other than that thank you!
