A quick-revision companion to the DSA roadmap in nine chapters: complexity, arrays and hashing, linked lists, stacks and queues, recursion, sorting and searching, trees and heaps, graphs, coding patterns, dynamic programming and timed practice habits. Costs are stated for every structure and algorithm, in Python, Java, C++ or JavaScript editions. Use it after each roadmap stage and before a contest or coding round.

- Web
An eight-stage path from Big-O through arrays, hashing, recursion, trees, graphs, coding patterns and dynamic programming to timed, mixed practice, in Python, Java, C++ or JavaScript. It suits students and developers who can write code but freeze on problems with no obvious library call. By the end you can pick the right data structure, recognise common problem shapes and solve a medium problem in about 35 minutes with edge cases tested.

- Web
A free newsletter of short, focused posts on system design and problem solving, from the team behind the Grokking courses. Recent posts cover company interview processes (such as OpenAI and Anthropic roles), the most asked mobile system design questions and preparation plans, each linking to a fuller article on the blog. It suits engineers who want a steady, low-effort way to keep system design and interview topics fresh between deeper study sessions.
