LEARNING OBJECTIVES
- A deep understanding of the essential patterns behind common dynamic programming interview questions—without having to drill endless problem sets
- The ability to identify and apply the underlying pattern in an interview question by assessing the problem statement
- Familiarity with dynamic programming techniques with hands-on practice in a setup-free coding environment
- The ability to efficiently evaluate the tradeoffs between time and space complexity in different solutions
- A flexible conceptual framework for solving any dynamic programming question, by connecting problem characteristics and possible solution techniques

ABOUT THIS COURSE
Some of the toughest questions in technical interviews require dynamic programming solutions. Dynamic programming (DP) is an advanced optimization technique applied to recursive solutions. However, DP is not a one-size-fits-all technique, and it requires practice to develop the ability to identify the underlying DP patterns. With a strategic approach, coding interview prep for DP problems shouldn’t take more than a few weeks.
This course starts with an introduction to DP and thoroughly discusses five DP patterns. You’ll learn to apply each pattern to several related problems, with a visual representation of the working of the pattern, and learn to appreciate the advantages of DP solutions over naive solutions.
After completing this course, you will have the skills you need to unlock even the most challenging questions, grok the coding interview, and level up your career with confidence.
This course is also available in JavaScript, Python, and Java—with more coming soon!
