Upgrade your developer brain with data structures and algorithms

Abstract

In this talk I'm going to argue that learning data structures and algorithms super-charges your ability as a developer. They make the problems you face at work easy to solve on open the doors to working on harder and arguably more interesting things than you're used to.

This talk will involve lot's of examples, hardcore live-coding action and practical advice for using your developers intuition to bootstrap your data structures and algorithms knowledge.

Notes

I'm going to try my best to stay away from the regular sorting algorithms and Big O notation that everyone is sick of hearing about, and just focus on how you can use data structures in your day-to-day job with lots of tasty examples.
