Everyone, folks welcome to the 60 day crash course day one. So I'll be releasing these videos probably, probably Mondays and Thursdays. I'll try to get them out by Sunday evenings and Wednesday evenings for our friends in Asia and the East so that everyone is in line and on the same page. But I'm so excited to have you work through the 60 day crash curriculum with me and the team and everyone else participating.
And we're going to learn a lot during the next eight weeks. So I'm really hyped. And what I'm going to do right now is just quickly give an overview of the exact tutorials we're going to cover in this part of week one. So in the previous video, we talked about the general gist of what we're going to cover, but we're going to get a little tactical now and dive through each tutorial for a bit and also cover some other things that I might've missed at the very beginning.
So as you can see on my screen, when we first log in. We get the full curriculum view and we're going to want to click 60 day crash course to make sure that we see, you know, the 60 day crash course menu. You'll notice that there's a check box here. It says, show live cohort dates. And so this is just a little helper to keep track of what day, what day it is now and what what week you should be on.
And so today is January 4th. And we're going to be in the first week. So you'll see that. Well, these are grayed out because I've completed them already. One quick thing to mention is that if you ever want to mark, um, a tutorial as complete, there's two ways to go about it. So if it's a general lesson, which means that there is no problem solving aspect, you can click a button.
So I'm going to go with a sample one. Mark is completed. And if you click it, it'll mark it as completed. Or you can also scroll to the very bottom and click next tutorial. And this will also mark it as completed. And for problems for actual problems, like find missing number in array, you can also just click Mark has completed, or you can also, um, go to interactive mode or.
From here, to actually solve the problem. If you can get all the test cases passing, then it'll also Mark it as completed. And by the way, I'll likely redo this fine missing number in array video, since it's pretty old. And that's one of the goals of this 60 day crash course is to make sure that I'm providing and the team is providing the most up-to-date and best material we can to help you land your dream job.
Now for this week. We're going to talk a little bit about the overview of this week and what to expect. So check this video out for the first part of this week. So when I say, when I talk about parts of weeks, it'll normally be two parts the first half of the week, meaning Sunday through Wednesday, and then the second half of the week, meaning Thursday onwards.
From today until about Wednesday evening or Thursday morning, try to get up to Fizz buzz. So we're going to start by getting an overview again, of how to use AlgoDaily. A lot of people, who are participating will have done, you know, several challenges in tutorials on AlgoDaily, and we'll be well versed in how to use it.
But for those who are new or who've never used it before. Uh, who've never used the platform before. Check out this video, check out this lesson. It'll give you good insights into what our philosophy is and what to expect then. I'd like you to take a look at this video and this tutorial, which we'll cover how to prepare for a technical interview.
So it'll talk about what to do with sample coding problems and give you a small checklist of subjects that you should know about. Uh, again, you can also consume this in video format or, read the text tutorial as well, or both. Preferably both. And then we'll, we're going to refresh ourselves or learn for the first time about big O notation and algorithmic complexity, which is really important because this is how companies, especially big tech companies, see if you know how to evaluate the code you wrote, whether it that's good performance or whether it's slow and sluggish, but this is how you know, and again, text or video.
And then finally, we're going to do two problems before Thursday. Reverse the String. And Fizz Buzz, and you can solve these two extremely common by the way, coding interview problems. And one of two ways you can either solve it right here, or go into code mode, which is interactive mode and solve it here.
Uh, this is my personal preference because I like to just open up the tests and just do them side by side. And just one thing to mention is. The goal is of course, to work on this together. And so if you're stuck at any point, and if you, find bugs on the platform, or if you think something could be explained more clearly, please go to the discussion and just add a note about, what, what the problem is, what the issue is.
And I'll be sure to address it.
And then just one last thing before we, um, start, make sure you're sharing your progress on social. I would love to see, people use the #AlgoDaily or #AlgoDaily60 hashtag. And I would really appreciate it if you shared your progress and let the overall tech community know that we're working through it together, and we're all working towards, um, that next awesome software engineering job together.
And so with that that's day one, or rather that's the video for day one. Let's go ahead. Let's let's start working and I'll probably release. The next update video, hopefully with some Q and a questions and some updates, around Wednesday evening. And after that, we'll start working on them. All right.
Take care.
