Project Euler: Solve math and programming puzzles that help you think logically and improve your problem-solving skills.

With this newfound perspective, I embarked on a new path. I decided to tackle problems from Project Euler, solving them at scale and under various constraints. It is my hope that this approach will not only provide practical challenges but also allow me to apply and solidify my programming knowledge in a more engaging way.

Alternatively, you could get a homeschool math textbook. They're written differently because the assumption is that the kid is going to have to teach themselves, and as such they are significantly more thorough and easy to understand. I highly recommend them. Don't get the kind that are "workbooks", those are usually trash. Find a good textbook that the kid can write in their own notebook for and sell after they're done with it. They'll learn how Ebay works, and algebra!

Practice Regularly: Utilize coding challenge platforms such as LeetCode and HackerRank to practice coding regularly. Additionally, websites like Project Euler offer mathematical challenges that can sharpen your problem-solving skills.

A coworker used to solve Project Euler[1] problems using SQL while they waited for DB indexes to rebuild or tables to restore from backup in the middle of the night.

Coding Challenges: Platforms like Project Euler or CodeSignal offer a variety of problems that encourage logical thinking and algorithmic problem-solving.

Additionally, I focused on understanding algorithms and data structures, as they form the backbone of efficient coding. I also practiced problem-solving on platforms like LeetCode and HackerRank. These exercises sharpened my analytical thinking and prepared me for technical interviews. By combining structured learning with practical experience, I was able to transition smoothly into a career in software development.

Log in to LeetCode: Visit the LeetCode website (https://leetcode.com) and log in to your account.

Hey, I think all of you, readers, know about leetcode- a platform for for coding interview preparation. There a lot of good problems to solve and interface is amazing. I started solving leetcode problems about a year ago, but was active only for 3-4 month.

1. LeetCode Learning by doing is considered one of the most effective ways to master anything. So, if you wanna master DSA by solving DSA-oriented problems, then I can vouch that LeetCode is the best platform out there for you. For the last 400+ days, I’ve consistently solved coding problems on this platform to increase my problem-solving capability and DSA knowledge. Their website's UI, UX, and problem quality are top-notch. In the beginning, get some theoretical knowledge about a specific data structure or algorithm, then solve the problem related to the data structure or algorithm you’ve read. Getting stuck on a problem? See the hints they have given? Still stuck? See the editorial they’ve written on the editorial page. In case the editorial is only for premium users, check out the solution tab. There, you will find different solutions in various languages written by people like you. They also offer a bunch of things, like study plans, courses, and a store (where you can buy things using coins you’ve earned). Overall, I believe it's an excellent platform for mastering data structures and algorithms. link: LeetCode

LeetCode

For those who already know, this is just a reminder, but for those who don't, every week Leetcode has a special contest where a lot of developers try to solve 4 code challenges in a row at 1 hour 30 min.

Firstly, solve some common data structure problems with it. implement some data structures like arrays, linked lists, stacks, queues, etc. You can check common problems on LeetCode, Hackerank or some other resources.

I did some traveling around the western US in late 2022 to take stock of where my life was and where I was going. During that time I decided that I would go all-in with my coding education, and committed to learning the remaining material listed on those bootcamp syllabi that I had not yet studied – namely, connecting the pieces of the MERN stack; learning about automated testing and data structures & algorithms; and studying development paradigms & methodologies like Agile, Scrum & Kanban, and OOP design patterns & principles – as well as continue to develop my programming fundamentals on platforms like Leetcode and Codewars.
