Sleekcode:
I can help u with the YouTube clone from start to finish

AlchemyOfCodes:
Thanks. Will pm you when I need help. But definitely not nw. Maybe after I must have solidify my Knowledge on react by building more beginner to intermediate projects. Thanks once again.

AlchemyOfCodes:
Ok guys, finally done the exam. The good news is that I finally got into a DSA bootcamp where I get to rub shoulders with guys from Microsoft and the likes. The bad news my laptop suddenly crashed a day to my final papers.

When I charge the system, the indicator light blinks but the system will not boot. If anyone has an idea of what the issue is.

Right now , I will continue the DSA book on my phone.... At least one leetcode question everyday. Go back to my default mode of reading books. And hopefully I get it fixed soon. This thread ain't dying .

namikaze:

Which bootcamp is that?

AlchemyOfCodes:

Your dreams are valid, but it seems you have too many dust. Let's clean it up.

1. An OOP hard core language is the bane to work at FAANG. Python, C++, Java are the norm. Meta will get you to learn Hack, which is a variation to PHP.

Please don't learn multiple languages randomly. Stick to one for learning DSA, and use Javascript/PHP for your web dev.

2. Don't waste inefficient time solving questions randomly. It's always good to see what others have donr successfully, and replicate it and even better.

Try and learn the fundamentals of all data structures first. Coursera has nice courses that teaches fundamentals. The reason why whites and Asians are good with cracking FAANG is because they have solid fundamentals. Use the linked below to get same resources schools like Harvard, Berkeley, and MIT train their students:
https://www2.eecs.berkeley.edu/Courses/CS61B/


There are about 17 patterns of which 90% of Leetcode programming questions are centered on. Know such patterns, and you'll find ease of solving the rest.
https://github.com/cl2333/Grokking-the-Coding-Interview-Patterns-for-Coding-Questions

When I started leetcoding few months ago, it was overwhelming. So I stopped and asked people I have as connections on linked who work at Google, Amazon, Dropbox, Meta, Microsoft, Palantir how they did it. They showed me the path to learning patterns, and right now, I could easily solve 2 questions a day on a medium like question on the 9 patterns I've learnt so far.

Follow this link for a detail guide:
It has 120 questions which cover all 17 patterns.

10 Step Guide for Literally ANYONE to Land a 6-Figure FAANG Job.


When you've down the above, please check this link below on structured guide depending on the time you have. For 3 months plan, there are 75 questions, they call it Grind75 or Blind75. But when you edit the site for a six months plan, you get 169 questions. More indebt and enough to help you crack any interview. Here is it:

3.Concerning buying leetcode premium, please don't pressure yourself. Every question on leetcode premium is on github, solved or on youtube.

For Cracking the coding interview, check the link below with solutions on github. The readme has links for java,C++ and python.

The link below has all leetcode premium questions for virtually every known company that uses DSA as a test. Don't get overwhelmed, most repeat themselves.

These days, I don't solve questions on leetcode, rather I created a repo and keep track of my work while solving the patterns on my laptop.

Good luck lad

My resolution this year
Build more react projects.

Focus on building an audience on Twitter

Technical writing on medium/hashnode

Networking.


Public speaking.



Upskill and start freelancing/ jobs or anything just to get my feet into the industry.

okpaire2005:


How can I network on twitter and LinkedIn?

AlchemyOfCodes:
Read another book on react...didn't finish it. The best book on react out there is the "The road to react"... Already finished it twice..but I still know nothing. Hopefully when I start building projects things will fall in place.

Still not finished the head first java. I had to stop when I gut to the GUI aspect. I guess I already know enough write some codes on DSA.

While there are many types of calculators, one of the most common ones is a percentage calculator which calculates percentage increase / decrease, percentage of, what percentage is, etc. For this, the best one for android playstore IMO is this one: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.Microtechsoft.percentage It is a paid app, but only 99 cents which i think is worth it since there are no ads to distract

AlchemyOfCodes:
This post is all about my programming journey. I am just a young fella without a CS degree who wants to work at Google. This sounds crazy? Yeah. But, Wait-Danny Thompson worked at Google without a CS degree, maybe I am not being unrealistic then. Oh! I forgot, Danny Thompson is an American......

I will be documenting my journey to becoming a potential world-class web developer. I hope to finally get to work at Google at the end of this thread no matter how long....

I believe in the mantra- " Aim for the moon, if you miss it, you might hit a star".

I will be glad if the programming gurus in the house can be part of my history. Advise and encouragements and even scathing criticisms are allowed.
