OUR MISSION

Learn to code at your own pace

We’ve designed AlgoCademy with people who don’t have a lot of experience with algorithms and data structures in mind. We want to teach people who are looking for the increased satisfaction and income that a programming job can provide.

Is AlgoCademy right for you? Simply put, we're for you if...

You’re trying to prepare for coding interviews but don't know where to start, or how to come up with an efficient study plan

You’ve spent countless hours trying to solve coding questions online, but you’ve grown frustrated, feeling like you can’t build a solution from scratch

Even if you are able to devise an approach that solves your coding challenge, you aren’t able to write quality code which passes the coding interview

You’re looking to gain the speed and accuracy needed to solve a coding challenge that may get asked of you in interviews

You start to experience sensory overload thinking about all of the information out there about preparing for coding interviews, and you find yourself stuck for days, googling information on various topics, messing up your consistency and flow

“After going through all the lessons, I gained the necessary skills to perform well at my on-sites. I crushed even the DP problems, which were my biggest fear. And thanks to that I landed offers from Microsoft and Uber. Thank you AlgoCademy!”

Cristina Radulescu

Senior Software Engineer at Uber

“AlgoCademy really helped me improve my problem solving skills and write incredibly clean code. I was worried it wouldn’t be done in time for my coding interviews, but the way the curriculum is structured made me progress very quickly. Thanks for your work!”

Connor Holland

Software Engineer at Vanguard

“Wow. I've been using AlgoCademy for a while and now I can finally solve coding questions on my own. This gave me the confidence I needed for my interviews, and guess what? I landed the offer at Samsung! You guys truly kick ass. High fives!”

Frequently Asked Questions

So, you have questions? Let us try to answer those for you...

Will these lessons help me fix bugs caused by overly defensive programming?

Absolutely! Our tutorials focus on identifying the pitfalls of defensive programming and teach you how to strike the perfect balance between caution and efficiency, so you can refactor your code with confidence.

I'm new to defensive programming. Is this course beginner friendly?

Yes! Our course breaks down defensive programming concepts into easy-to-understand lessons, making it accessible even if you're new to these techniques.

Is all defensive programming content available immediately or drip-fed over time?

No drip-feeding here! You get immediate access to all our defensive programming lessons, so you can start improving your code right away.

Do I need to be proficient in a specific programming language to benefit from these lessons?

You don't need to know any specific language. Our lessons focus on core principles and pseudocode, making the concepts universally applicable regardless of your preferred programming language.

Why should I address my defensive programming issues now instead of later?

Every day you delay may result in accumulating more bugs and technical debt. Addressing these issues now can significantly boost your code quality and overall productivity.

Is it really worth investing in learning to balance defensive programming?

Absolutely. The costs of hidden bugs and time lost on maintenance far exceed the investment in mastering balanced coding techniques. Our course provides you with strategies that save you time and money in the long run.
