Coming from a country where this social media platform is not that relevant, it didn't take a lot until I totally forgot about it.</p> <p>I couldn't help myself to see that dev community is quite active on Twitter. Trying to find some accounts worthy of being followed and since I didn't find any good source of this kind of information, why not empower the community and create one right here?</p> <p>That being said, I want to give a shout-out to each one of you and I kindly ask everybody to share with me the devs/accounts that you're following. I'm mostly interested in Twitter, but LinkedIn profiles are highly appreciated also.</p> discuss javascript webdev react Valentin A.

I vaguely remember the topic from my early college years and I have to admit that I was never a fan of the subject, hence this article now. </p> <p>Given the fact that almost every major company has a part of the interview based on this topic, I'm aware that this is still a pretty big thing. But this topic has been part of the interview process for programmers for 10-20 years now and it remained unchanged mostly, not like computation power of our devices. Beside getting a grasp on our minds and the way we're able to see the big picture, why is this topic relevant for today interviews?</p> <p>Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying that they should be deprecated. In the meantime, I'll keep learning and I want to give a shout-out to some of the articles I've found around here that helped me visualize and better understand this concepts.</p> <div class="ltag__link"> <a href="/trekhleb" class="ltag__link__link"> <div class="ltag__link__pic"> <img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/practicaldev/image/fetch/s--_xKZvdeR--/c_limit%2Cf_auto%2Cfl_progressive%2Cq_auto%2Cw_880/https://res.cloudinary.com/practicaldev/image/fetch/s--vEQB6cia--/c_fill%2Cf_auto%2Cfl_progressive%2Ch_150%2Cq_auto%2Cw_150/https://dev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/user/profile_image/75714/b0158eeb-ee34-4382-9afd-ca9f9bede62c.JPG" alt="trekhleb image"> </div> </a> <a href="/trekhleb/algorithms-and-data-structures-in-javascript-49i3" class="ltag__link__link"> <div class="ltag__link__content"> <h2>Algorithms and Data Structures in JavaScript</h2> <h3>Oleksii Trekhleb ・ May 30 '18 ・ 3 min read</h3> <div class="ltag__link__taglist"> <span class="ltag__link__tag">#javascript</span> <span class="ltag__link__tag">#computerscience</span> <span class="ltag__link__tag">#showdev</span> <span class="ltag__link__tag">#algorithms</span> </div> </div> </a> </div> <br> <div class="ltag__link"> <a href="/fahimulhaq" class="ltag__link__link"> <div class="ltag__link__pic"> <img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/practicaldev/image/fetch/s--oS1_BbXl--/c_limit%2Cf_auto%2Cfl_progressive%2Cq_auto%2Cw_880/https://res.cloudinary.com/practicaldev/image/fetch/s--6RFE4mKf--/c_fill%2Cf_auto%2Cfl_progressive%2Ch_150%2Cq_auto%2Cw_150/https://dev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/user/profile_image/9205/GYOxpjbo.jpg" alt="fahimulhaq image"> </div> </a> <a href="/fahimulhaq/top-8-data-structures-for-coding-interviews-and-practice-interview-questions-2pb" class="ltag__link__link"> <div class="ltag__link__content"> <h2>Top 8 Data Structures for Coding Interviews and practice interview questions</h2> <h3>Fahim ul Haq ・ Jul 12 '18 ・ 8 min read</h3> <div class="ltag__link__taglist"> <span class="ltag__link__tag">#codinginterviews</span> <span class="ltag__link__tag">#datastructures</span> <span class="ltag__link__tag">#coding</span> <span class="ltag__link__tag">#interview</span> </div> </div> </a> </div> <br> <div class="ltag__link"> <a href="/aarohmankad" class="ltag__link__link"> <div class="ltag__link__pic"> <img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/practicaldev/image/fetch/s--o3c6A6qj--/c_limit%2Cf_auto%2Cfl_progressive%2Cq_auto%2Cw_880/https://res.cloudinary.com/practicaldev/image/fetch/s--aDaPvvV3--/c_fill%2Cf_auto%2Cfl_progressive%2Ch_150%2Cq_auto%2Cw_150/https://dev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/user/profile_image/50717/dc2d3519-6194-4626-94b3-958eccc30aac.jpg" alt="aarohmankad image"> </div> </a> <a href="/aarohmankad/data-structures-and-algorithms-0-to-60-294h" class="ltag__link__link"> <div class="ltag__link__content"> <h2>Data Structures and Algorithms: 0 to 60</h2> <h3>Aaroh Mankad ・ Jan 16 '18 ・ 6 min read</h3> <div class="ltag__link__taglist"> <span class="ltag__link__tag">#computerscience</span> <span class="ltag__link__tag">#datastructures</span> </div> </div> </a> </div> <br> <div class="ltag__link"> <a href="/areknawo" class="ltag__link__link"> <div class="ltag__link__pic"> <img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/practicaldev/image/fetch/s--VCJt1jBa--/c_limit%2Cf_auto%2Cfl_progressive%2Cq_auto%2Cw_880/https://res.cloudinary.com/practicaldev/image/fetch/s--KRDsBc4F--/c_fill%2Cf_auto%2Cfl_progressive%2Ch_150%2Cq_auto%2Cw_150/https://dev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/user/profile_image/116507/5e36c5cb-4d47-481e-970a-0e1b996179ef.png" alt="areknawo image"> </div> </a> <a href="/areknawo/rocking-js-data-structures-254k" class="ltag__link__link"> <div class="ltag__link__content"> <h2>Rocking JS data structures!</h2> <h3>Arek Nawo ・ Apr 9 '19 ・ 11 min read</h3> <div class="ltag__link__taglist"> <span class="ltag__link__tag">#javascript</span> <span class="ltag__link__tag">#webdev</span> <span class="ltag__link__tag">#data</span> <span class="ltag__link__tag">#structure</span> </div> </div> </a> </div> discuss interview webdev career
