Day 1: Embarking on My DSA Learning Journey

Introduction:

Today marks the beginning of an exciting adventure as I dive headfirst into the world of Data Structures and Algorithms (DSA). My goal is to master DSA for my upcoming placement preparations, and I've decided to document my entire learning process through a series of blogs. So, welcome to Day 1 of my DSA learning journey!

Choosing the Best Learning Resources:

The first step in my DSA journey was to find the best learning resources. After extensive research, I narrowed down my choices to two incredible educators: Jenny Lectures for Data Structures and Abdul Bari Lectures for Algorithms.

**Code Help by Babbar for Data Structures:** his clear and concise explanations, along with  practical approach, made him the perfect choice for mastering data structures. I'm eager to delve into his lectures and grasp the fundamental concepts.

**Abdul Bari Lectures for Algorithms:** Abdul Bari's reputation as an algorithm guru is well-known. His in-depth explanations and problem-solving skills have convinced me that his lectures will be invaluable for understanding complex algorithms.

Selecting a Practice Sheet:

To reinforce what I learn from these lectures, I've opted for the "DSA Practice Sheet" by Fraz from LeetCode. This comprehensive sheet contains nearly 400 problems, covering a wide range of DSA topics. It's the perfect resource to put theory into practice and hone my problem-solving skills.

Dumping My Code:

Throughout this series of blogs, I'm committed to sharing my entire learning journey, including each and every piece of code I write. By doing this, I hope to not only track my progress but also help others who may be on a similar learning path.

Conclusion:

Day 1 of my DSA learning journey has been all about setting the foundation. I've chosen my learning resources, found a practice sheet, and committed to sharing my code with you. Stay tuned for Day 2, where I'll dive deeper into the world of data structures with Jenny Lectures.

Let's see how many days it'll take me to master DSA for my placement preparations. Your support and feedback are greatly appreciated as I embark on this educational adventure!
