📦 #018 - Resources for Mastering Coding and Prepare for The Interviews
Master the future of technology through innovative online learning paths.
Hi, this is Madza! 👋
Welcome to The Eighteenth issue of The Developer Toolbox!
Over the years, many new developers have reached out to me, seeking clarity in the web information overload about the best ways to learn to code.
To help you find a solid foundation, I decided to curate a compilation of some of the resources I would use for my learning path if I had to start over.
It’s an all-around list of everything from CS fundamentals and DSA concepts to interview preparation and practical coding exercises.
As always, I organized all the resources by dividing everything into categories, giving descriptions, and including direct links.
First, I want to thank the Sponsor of this issue! 💖
