Episode 15 - Compilers, Linters, and Formatters Apr 07, 2020

Show notes

In this episode of the programming podcast, we'll discuss static analysis and code transformation. In particular, we'll look at the difference between compilers, linters, and formatters. By the end of the episode, you'll understand what tool you should use to improve your development experience and team processes.

Episode 14 - The Four Principles of OOP Mar 31, 2020

Show notes

In today's episode, you'll learn the four principles of object-oriented programming. We'll discuss abstraction, inheritance, encapsulation, and polymorphism. By the end of the show, you'll understand each one of them; you'll know how they relate to each other, and how to use them in practice.

Episode 13 - Binary Heaps Mar 24, 2020

Show notes

Today we're going to discuss the binary heap data structure. In this episode, you'll learn where to use heaps in practice, how they can come handy to you during a coding interview, and how to implement them! Along the way, we'll cover heap sort, priority queues, load balancing, and more!

Episode 12 - COVID-19. Epidemic modeling with SIR. Mar 17, 2020

Show notes

Instead of digging into algorithms and data structures, today, you'll learn about epidemic modeling. In 9 minutes in this episode, you'll get a mathematical intuition on the spread of COVID-19 and the essential variables we can control, which can help us fight the virus.

Episode 11 - Coupling and Cohesion Mar 10, 2020

Show notes

Today you'll learn how keeping your abstractions more cohesive and less coupled can improve the quality and maintainability of your software.

Episode 10 - Topological Sort Mar 03, 2020

Show notes

The chances are that the information from this episode will come in handy to you during a coding interview and likely in real life! In this episode, you'll learn the topological sort algorithm. Along the way, you'll understand what's a dependency graph and how topological sort operates on this data structure. We'll also discuss a few real-life examples where I had to implement topological sort myself!

Episode 9 - Sorting. Counting Sort. Feb 26, 2020

Show notes

Have you ever been frustrated during interviews thinking that your interviewer expects you to have memorized a bunch of sorting algorithms you'd never need in real life? In this episode of the podcast learn how to approach such situations. In performance critical systems you may have to implement an efficient sorting yourself. Learn how to beat the built-in algorithm in a few lines of code!

Episode 8 - Decorator Pattern Feb 18, 2020

Show notes

Today you'll learn how at runtime, you can enhance the behavior or existing objects using the decorator pattern. In this episode, we'll discuss the advantages of decorators over inheritance and look at two examples from real-life - implementing a network communication protocol and enriching user interface components.

Episode 7 - Tries Feb 11, 2020

Show notes

In the episode today, we'll talk about the trie data structure. You'll learn what tries are, how you can use them in practice, and how to implement them in your favorite programming language!

Episode 6 - Graphs and Graph Traversal Feb 04, 2020

Show notes

In this episode, we'll discuss graphs. You'll learn how this data structure looks like and what are its applications. Later on, we'll talk about algorithms for traversing graphs. You'll understand how breadth-first search and depth-first search work and when you should use one instead of the other. Topics we'll also touch on are chromatic graphs and finding the shortest path.
