Why the Videos?
I’m a college student studying the art of computer science, since this semester
I’m taking algorithms and data structures i decided to create videos as i learn
new information about the analysis of algorithms and data structs. All this sounds
good but what is it in it for me? I’m glad you asked well you can learn right
along side with me, want to video chat ping me on Google plus here or follow me on twitter here or stay updated on blog post and videos here
Requirements:
My target audience is someone that has been programming about 1 year knows the basic syntax of java, does not have a problem setting up development environment and is comfortable running java programs from the command line. Basic understanding of Object Oriented Programming is assumed. STOP right here if anything you just read does not make any sense!
