Learning Algorithms in JavaScript from Scratch

Description

Make your code and programs faster and more efficient by using algorithms

Using algorithms in your programming allows you to improve the efficiency, performance, speed, and scalability of your code, applications, and programs. If you're looking to get up and running with algorithms in JavaScript from scratch, then this course is for you. You will learn what algorithms are, why they are important, and how to code them in JavaScript. You will also understand other important programming concepts as you advance such as functional programming, time complexity, and recursion. You'll also discover how to implement them in the algorithms that you build through the course.
This course also features useful diagrams and animations to help you learn easily and effectively. The purpose of this course is not to simply help you memorize the algorithms, but instead to guide you on how the code works so you get hands-on experience in working with algorithms. The course covers a mix of ES5 and ES6 code to help you grasp the fundamental concepts easily. By the end of this course, you will have developed the skills you need to make your programs run efficiently using algorithms. All the codes and supporting files for this course will be available at- https://github.com/PacktPublishing/Learning-Algorithms-in-JavaScript-from-Scratch

Code important algorithms in JavaScript and understand how they work
Improve the efficiency, performance, and scalability of your code, applications, and programs
Prepare effectively for technical engineering and programming interviews, as well as coding challenges

If you have recently graduated from a coding boot camp or are looking for a developer or engineering job, then this course will help you further develop your skills.

This course is designed like a programming job interview. For each section, you will be asked to build a specific type of algorithm. After you have attempted to build the algorithm on your own, you can explore the solution video that will take you through the best-practices for building the algorithm. You'll also find useful diagrams and animations that help to make complex concepts easier to understand. The course structure will help you use the critical thinking and coding skills that you'll grasp through the course.

Explore important algorithms and understand how they work * Learn the skills and concepts that you need to know to build your own algorithms that function the way you need them to
