If you missed out on getting a degree in computer science, like I did, this will catch you up and save four years of your life. If you want to work as a software engineer for a large company, these are the things you have to know. Messaging, Serialization, and Queueing Systems.System Design, Scalability, Data Handling (if you have 4+ years experience).Everything below this point is optional - Optional Extra Topics & Resources Be thinking of for when the interview comes.Interview Process & General Interview Prep.
NP, NP-Complete and Approximation Algorithms.Combinatorics (n choose k) & Probability.
traversals: preorder, inorder, postorder, BFS, DFS. balanced search trees (general concept, not details). Algorithmic complexity / Big-O / Asymptotic analysis. Books for Data Structures and Algorithms. There is a lot to learn in a university Computer Science program, but only knowing about 75% is good enough for an interview, so that's what I cover here.įor a complete CS self-taught program, the resources for my study plan have been included in Kamran Ahmed's Computer Science Roadmap: Super roadmaps and coursework for those career paths elsewhere (see for more info). Note this is a study plan for software engineering, not frontend engineering or fullstack development. A little experience with coding (variables, loops, methods/functions, etc). This is my multi-month study plan for becoming a software engineer for a large company. Including the giants: Amazon, Facebook, Google, and Microsoft.īecome a sponsor and support Coding Interview University! The items listed here will prepare you well for a technical interview at just about any software company, I'll help you get there without wasting your precious time. I wasted a lot of time on things I didn't need to know. Please Note: You won't need to study as much as I did. This is my story: Why I studied full-time for 8 months for a Google interview I studied about 8-12 hours a day, for several months. You probably won't have to study as much as I did. After going through this study plan, I got hiredĪs a Software Development Engineer at Amazon! I originally created this as a short to-do list of study topics for becoming a software engineer,īut it grew to the large list you see today.
