See this is where things get boring, but that’s a good thing. I am still going through the C for beginners video tutorial and it is covering a lot of material I am already familiar with. That’s a really good thing but it also means the material is more of a review than a new experience.

TLDR;

Okay, so here are the highlights of what I did:

• Started on the “Technical Questions” section of the book “Cracking the Coding Interview” by Gayle Laakmann McDowell. I decided to get a quick intro to the C and Java programming languages before I jump into building the core data structures and algorithms that will be covered in most all technical interviews. I continued with the C for beginners video on YouTube. Got to the 2 hour mark in the video. Only an hour and 45 minutes left. So far so good! The material covered functions which has been fairly consistent in almost all programming languages I have learned previously (JavaScript, python, C#, etc.).

Conclusion

That’s all for today. This is my sixth round of the “#100daysofcode” challenge. I will be continuing my work from round five into round six. I am currently working through the book “Cracking the Coding Interview” by Gayle Laakmann McDowell. My goal is to become more familiar with algorithms and data structures. This goal was derived from my goal to better understand operating systems and key programs that I use in the terminal regularly e.g. Git. This goal was in term derived from my desire to better understand the fundamental tools used for coding outside of popular GUIs. This in turn was derived from my desire to be a better back-end developer.

I have no idea if my path is correct but I am walking down this road anyways. Worst case scenario I learn a whole bunch of stuff that will help me out on my own personal projects.
