DSA For Non-Traditionals: 1 - BigO, Search, and a little Algebra

In the "DSA (Data Structures and Algorithms) for Non-Traditionals" series, I'll be going over algorithms that EVERY developer needs to be familiar with.

In this session, I'll go over BigO, why it's important, and then a few search algorithms you need know. I'll also explain practically WHY you need to know these (PS It's not just theory).

Video key points:

• What is an Algorithm?
• Why we NEED to know them
• How a Binary Search works (vs a Linear search)
• Real World Application / Logarithms
• BigO Notation and what it helps us with
• A look at nested for loops O(n2) in a real job interview
• A discussion at the end on AI, the cloud, and breaking into the industry in this economy with so many things to learn.
