S2.2 - Data Structures

Just as bridges, streets, and buildings are vital structures for a modern society, so too the data structures are pivotal in the computational world. Today we explain what data structures are, their basic building blocks, and other bits and pieces! Importance of data structure knowledge for a computer scientist or software engineer is 15/10 (no kidding)!

S2.1 - Object-Oriented Programming

Hey! It's season 2! New courses, new tips, new stories, but the same energy! Today we talk about the Object-Oriented Programming course and how it is actually the beginning of the software engineering branch in the major. Remember, fundamentals are key for the future, so this one is extremely important, that's why it's longer!
