Linear Data Structures for People Who Learned C the Hard Way

If you have studied the C language really hard, now is the time to study data structures!

Many people study linear data structures and practice writing linked list code. However, most people tend not to think much about why they study data structures. If you only consider the results, even if it is a simple address book program, the core is to develop database software . That can be said to be the ultimate goal of data structures.

It's not about memorizing theories.
We will teach you proper data management programming techniques using the C language!

If you are having these concerns right now, you absolutely must take this course!

• I know that data structures are important basic CS theories, but I am a computer science major or aspiring developer who does not understand where to use them.

• A learner who has some understanding of the theory of data structures, but is frustrated because he or she does not know where to start and what process to follow when writing code in a situation where he or she has to write the code himself.

  
  

• People who are worried because they cannot objectively judge their own level because they have not seen the coding process of so-called practical (or experienced) C/C++ developers

The solution is simple.

You can experience the process of creating code based on the theory of data structures!

Preview the curriculum

This course is divided into three main stages.

• [Sections 1-3] This course covers the basic theory of linear data structures along with hands-on code writing that follows the entire process.

• [Section 4] Learn programming techniques to manage stored data and access procedures by separating them into separate indexes .

• [Section 5] Understand the process of applying ADT concepts and extending them to small DB software at the code level .

  
  

Q&A

Q. I am a student who has already studied the C language. Can I take this course without taking the 'C Programming for Beginners' course?
Yes, you can. If you have studied the theory of the C language faithfully and have no difficulty in writing your own examples using Visual Studio Community, it is fine. However, if you have experience in tracing memory changes with a debugger during the practical training, it will be advantageous for learning.

Q. You only learn about Stack and Queue, but not binary trees or B-trees?

Yes, this class does not cover it. This class is optimized for understanding linear data structures and the structure of DB systems, which are systems that implement them. Nonlinear data structures are covered in a separate class.

Q. Does the development environment have to be Windows?

Yes, it is recommended to do so if possible, but it is not a big problem for learning if you do not do so. However, you need to be able to change the code for file input/output to suit your environment in order to get proper practice.

Q. I want to become a Java-based backend developer. Will this course help me?

Yes, it helps. To become a backend developer, you need to have a high level of understanding of IT infrastructure and CS basics. Studying data structures is not optional, it is essential.

Q. Will this course help me prepare for a coding test?

It can help, but it's more about improving your practical programming skills beyond coding tests. In other words, it's more about focusing on the programming techniques themselves rather than theories.

Practice environment and precautions

• Windows 11 64bit OS (Windows 10 possible)

• Visual Studio 2022 Community

• macOS and Linux environments are not considered

Students will be provided with a PDF copy of the course materials and all example files used in the class.
