Kyle Simpson is a human first and then an engineer.

His mission is to show the world that the culture of empathy and relational information exchange are keys to unlocking the full potential of every human in the workplace. JS and open web technologies are among Kyle's favorite tools to augment human endeavors.

Kyle has published 10+ books on JS, taught thousands of developers from teams around the world, and his training videos have been watched over 780,000 hours. He's still fighting for the people behind the pixels.

Workshop: Thinking & Coding Algorithms

If you don't already have a solid computer science background, most of the typical algorithms used in industry-wide job interviews can be intimidating. Moreover, even experienced engineers sometimes struggle to apply proper algorithmic thinking in their production code. This workshop starts at a basic problem/solution, and layers up to complex algorithms for a variety of challenging tasks. Whether attendees have computer science education or not, they will leave this workshop with practical algorithms knowledge, prepared to tackle problems by first thinking algorithmically and then translating that into efficient code.

Objectives:

• Understand "Big O" classification and its impact on both computation time and memory usage (and the tradeoffs).
• Explore data structures (classic and custom) shaped to the nature of the problem to lay the groundwork for better algorithms.
• Learn techniques for benchmarking computation time and memory usage.

Attendees:

• Mid-to-senior level software developers (JS)

Pre-requisites:

• 18+ months of experience in JS.
• Attendees will code along with the presenter, so a comfortable basic dev environment (editor, browser, git) is required.
