About 50 hours of  video lectures & 10 hours of assignment review 

Data structures and algorithms has been considered as the core component of tech interviews for more than two decades. It is not only tied to the fundamentals of computer science, but also provides a fair playground to evaluate the candidates on the problem solving skills. The purpose of this course is to review the main topics of data structures and algorithms with focus on establishing generic patterns and developing a “thought process” when it comes to approaching interview questions.

For every topic, the students are provided with a high-level summary of concepts, and go through the well-represented problems around that topic to help them understand the generic themes. The sessions are led by instructors while providing the opportunity for learners to think independently on each problem, share ideas, ask questions, and receive feedback online. The online quizzes and frequently-asked interview problems shared after each class as offline assignments help students to apply the techniques and boost their problem solving skills.

This is a very good course in DSA with clear explanation from the instructor. The course has 9 sessions (5.30hr) on Sundays and 9 assignment sessions (1hr) on Wednesdays. Overall, the course is very intense and quick. The learners should already have some _basic_ knowledge of DSA about: linear arrays, trees, graph, time/space complexity to catch up with the learning process, otherwise they will have lots of difficulties. The instructor is very knowledgeable with super clear explanation about all topics and thought process. You expect around 8-9 Leetcode questions per session, so totally about 80 LC problems (medium+hard) over the whole course. I would highly recommend the course for people who already have some basic knowledge about DSA. Very good course to prepare for FAANG interviews.

In October 2023, I joined the "Interview 101: Data Structures and Algorithms" course on Silicon Insiders and had a great experience. The interactive nature of the course, coupled with the challenging exercises and assignments, helped me solidify my understanding of data structures and algorithms. I now feel much more confident in my coding and interview skills, all thanks to this course. What impressed me the most was the instructor's expertise and dedication to helping students comprehend all the details and succeed. He answered all the questions patiently and provided additional explanations when needed. I am deeply grateful to my instructor, for his exceptional guidance. I am truly appreciative of the knowledge and skills I've gained under his mentorship. And look​ing forward to learning ML courses​ soon!
