Exercism - Scala Exercises VS LeetCode

When I got my first job as a junior software engineer, my team lead suggested I take a course by MIT, Introduction to Computer Science and Programming Using Python to improve my fundamental knowledge of computer science. The course duration was 9 weeks and I learned a lot of theory about programming and picked up Python syntax. I liked the course and especially the exercises that were presented there. At that time I also discovered an amazing website called Exercism. I thought since I became familiar with the Python syntax and knew how to build simple apps, maybe it would be nice to explore some AI-related stuff. But after playing around with it I realized AI is really not for me. I'm not into analyzing data and everything that goes with it. I was more of an engineering and problem-solving type of developer.

Nice, this reminds me of Exercism, which I wish was more widely known since they seem to be good folks. (disclaimer, I donate to them)

Exercism, the free programming learning platform has initiated a challenge named: 48in24.

Last year, Exercism put together the #12in23 challenge. The goal was to learn a new programming language each month throughout the year. I was one of 135 people who completed the challenge, and I learned a lot along the way!

The list of languages contains every language on Exercism, excluding ones that I've used before, web languages, or ones that I can't download for some reason.

Learning by doing, with the help of mentors. Excellent way to learn a next language (as you are already familiar with the programming concepts).

Exercism is pretty good for beginners with some programming language, they are open source and worth contributing to.

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.

As a self-taught dev, learning the ins-and-outs of Python usually happens as I am solving problems on leetcode or writing random programs in replit. This post is more for myself to remember what I've learned. If you're still interested in reading, then I hope this helps you!

Regularly engaging with problem-solving and algorithm challenges on platforms such as LeetCode, HackerRank, or CodeSignal can significantly sharpen this ability.

Leetcode

If you are interested in algorithms, data structures, and building efficient solutions or just preparing for the coding interview, you are aware of LeetCode and similar websites. Here, I will talk about a data structure called Binary Tree and the ways to build it using the array representation. LeetCode has dozens of such problems to practice with this data structure.

LeetCode: Offers a wide range of problems to practice data structures and algorithms.

Additional Platforms - HackerRank - Coding challenges in various languages. - LeetCode - Practice coding problems and prepare for interviews.
