🛡️Embark on the DSAWarriors Quest: From Newbie to Expert in 2️⃣0️⃣Weeks! 🚀📜

This is my solo submission for the Amazon Q Developer "Quack The Code" Challenge: Crushing the Command Line


Before you dive into DSA Warriors, wanna check out all four of my entries for the Amazon Q Developer “Quack The Code” Challenge? ( I know 😅, I went a little too crazy here, and overdid it, a teeny tiny little too much 😁):

1️⃣ 🧩 Sudoku Taught Me I Could Achieve Anything: ✨ Powered by Amazon Q Developer CLI 🚀🗨️👩‍💻

2️⃣ 🦋✨ GratefulMind: Your Daily Dose of Joy & Growth 🌅💫

3️⃣ 🛡️ Embark on the DSAWarriors Quest: From Newbie to Expert in 20 Weeks! 🚀📜

4️⃣ ⏳🔮 The Secret Hour Whisperer: Unlocking Your Day’s Hidden Magic with TimeTracker ✨


What I Built 🤩🎉

The Big Picture 💫

I designed DSAWarriors, a DSA guidance web app that feels like having your very own mentor in your browser. Here’s how it works:

1️⃣ Language & Level Selection – You choose your preferred language (Java, Python, JavaScript, C++, or C#) and choose a level where you think you stand in DSA.

2️⃣ Skill Assessment – Take a quick quiz. Score ≥8? You stay at your chosen level. Score 4–7? You drop one level for extra building blocks. Score ≤3? We reset you to “Newbie” to build confidence from the ground up.

3️⃣ Four-Week Roadmap – Based on your results, get a day-by-day learning plan packed with top-tier resources: docs, tutorials, articles, and videos.

Key Sections in the Navbar 🚀

After your assessment, you can later on explore these core areas:

  • 📅 Roadmap – Your personalized, four-week DSA journey laid out in daily bite-sized tasks.

  • 📚 Resources – Curated, free, high-quality links: official docs, practice sheets, tutorials, articles, books, videos, and your own bookmarks.

  • 💻 Projects – Hands-on exercises (20+ starter-to-advanced ideas) so you actually apply what you learn.

  • 🔍 Algorithms – Deep dives into sorting, searching, graphs, DP, strings, and more—each with a clear logic breakdown and article link.

This was the toolkit I desperately needed when I started—overwhelmed by a million scattered resources. If DSAWarriors helps even one person navigate that chaos, it’s already worth it.

🤖 How I Used Amazon Q Developer

My AI-Powered Secret Sauce 💡

  • Early drafts from Q Developer were a solid start, but lacked depth.
  • Iterative prompts fixed syntax hiccups (overlapping symbols, route.js woes) and taught me the power of “break it down into smaller tasks.”
  • Lesson learned: AI can turbocharge your workflow—just guide it step by step.

This was my first full-fledged project using Amazon Q Developer(Command Line). Patience, perseverance, and a few thousand Q CLI commands later, it’s alive—and I love it.

Some of the main prompts I used:-

Prompt1 - the initial prompt to kickstart the project

Prompt 2 - Initial success, and asking to add more resources in the project

Prompt 3- CTRL+C coz of a little inconvenience, command line suggesting changes in terminal instead of changing the code files

Prompt 4- Lesson learnt in asking for additional functionalities in small chunks in iterative steps


🙏 A Heartfelt Thank-You

DSAWarriors is more than code—it’s a hand extended to anyone who’s ever felt lost staring at “too many” resources. Here’s to making DSA approachable, one step at a time.


✨ A Little About Me

I’m Divya—a coffee-fuelled coder, relentless learner, and your newest cheerleader on the path to DSA mastery. When I’m not wrangling algorithms, you’ll find me exploring web development projects or sketching out my next web app idea.


Still here? You’re the real MVP. Ready to slay your first problem? Let DSAWarriors guide you, and watch yourself transform from “What’s a linked list?” to “Bring on the graphs!” 💪🧙‍♀️

And hey—thanks for reading all the way to the end. You rock! 💗

It's a good twist to the already there multiple platforms, but good work.

Yup, I wanted to make something new, but ended up with this.

Not bad, but just one of the many

Another great project, really a good one, buddy!
The interface is clean and smooth, and that personalized roadmap feature? Absolutely awesome. I also love that it allows bookmarking and comes with some solid learning resources- huge plus!
Of course, there's always room for improvement, but you've done a great job here. Keep it up 👍

Thank you buddy 😄😄for so much genuine support.

Yup, it's good for now, but many more things are left to be desired, lack of more languages' support being one glaring feature.

It's difficult to choose one out of these lovely projects! But this one is really amazing! Btw buddy, can you also add more languages there, like golang etc?

Honestly, I wanted to add that, but I couldn't find much on that other than official docs and some articles, and I wanted this site to have adequate resources for the languages I mentioned.

Yes, but is it good for now, as v 1.0?

It needs lots more additions to be really helpful though.
But it's ok.

Thank you Aanchal.
I admit it's not very innovative, but I did what I could 😅
