Python & LeetCode: The Interview Bootcamp
ACE your next technical interview and get that DREAM JOB you've always wanted!
Python & LeetCode: The Interview Bootcamp is a comprehensive training course designed to teach you all the tricks and techniques necessary to ACE your coding interviews, so you can get a great high-paying software engineering job that you deserve!
Did you know that there are literally TONS of struggling software developers (and this could be you, too) who are:
😭 Preparing for their next coding interview but don't know where to start.
😭 Spending ALL of their time watching low-quality, rambling YouTube videos and frantically scouring the internet for the "best solution" to coding questions.
😭 Frustrated by non-stop rejections from every developer job they have applied to.
If this sounds all too familiar...
THEN THIS IS THE COURSE FOR YOU!
Hi, I'm Kevin, and I am on a mission to help struggling developers just like yourself learn how to FINALLY study the RIGHT way, save WEEKS of time, and eventually land HIGH-PAYING DREAM JOBS!
In Python & LeetCode: The Interview Bootcamp, I will walk you through, step-by-step, all the different types of coding challenges that could appear during an interview!
I am a self-taught programmer so I know what it feels like to really struggle during those technical interviews.
Let me put it this way: I created the course I wish I had when I was studying for my own technical interviews!
LeetCode is a massive collection (1,500 and counting) of challenging coding problems. It has just about every problem you can imagine. In fact, many companies (including the Big 5 tech giants) simply use interview questions they found on LeetCode!
I have some good news for you: spending countless hours studying and solving every single LeetCode problem is COMPLETELY unnecessary.
Yes, you read that right: COMPLETELY unnecessary.
This course, Python & LeetCode: The Interview Bootcamp, is designed to massively optimize your study time and put you on the absolute quickest path to successfully achieving that dream job.
I know LeetCode questions are meant to be difficult, but do not worry! I made it a priority to present each problem in the most simplistic and direct way possible. You will benefit from my painless and easy-to-understand format, as I walk you through each problem, step-by-step. I cover everything from practical application of algorithms, to data structures, to time and space complexity.
By the time you complete this course, you will be an expert in all the tricks, techniques, and patterns needed to solve even the most challenging of interview problems. Are you ready to supercharge your next technical interview and land that awesome dream job?!
I believe we learn best by doing, so throughout this course you will have access to quizzes and challenges to test what you just learned. This format will allow you to apply and internalize new concepts, and not just follow along like a robot! And if you do get stuck, you will benefit from extremely fast and friendly support (both via direct messaging and/or Q&A discussion).
We use basic Python in this course, and even if you are new to Python, do not worry! I have included a bonus crash-course in Python at the start of the course. No prior Python experience is required!
Course material is regularly refreshed to include all of the newest updates and information, and since you are granted lifetime access upon registering, you can rely on this course to keep your technical interviewing skills on the cutting edge.
There is no need to waste your time scouring the internet, frantically trying to piece together ways to solve coding challenges the night before a big, important interview. Invest in yourself, and allow me to show you the easiest ways to ace it!
Then I have got you covered! 😀👍
I have literally taken EVERYTHING that I know from literally COUNTLESS successful and unsuccessful interviews and compiled the ULTIMATE COMPENDIUM of tactics, techniques, and tricks necessary to CONSISTENTLY ACE coding interviews. My system is a comprehensive, step-by-step implementation program that not only teaches you how to solve coding challenges, but also to master the ART OF THE INTERVIEW by giving the exact responses your interviewer wants to hear.
✅ It is direct and straight to the point
I do not believe in wasting your time or my time. This means that unlike most "interview preparation courses" out there, I will not waste time going over obscure computer science theory or elementary programming concepts. Let me let you in on a little secret: obscure theory is almost always useless in an interview setting. On the other hand, my lectures are MASSIVELY practical, as in — they are exclusively about problem solving tricks/techniques and pattern recognition. REMEMBER: Your interviewer won't know (or care) about whether you've spent WEEKS memorizing theory prior to an interview, he or she will ONLY care about whether you can solve the coding challenge or not.
👉 It is for all levels of developers
Yes that's right! ALL levels of developers, from beginner to seasoned professional will benefit from my step-by-step, easy to understand methodology. I have even split my lectures so that optional ADVANCED problem-solving tactics (i.e. insanely optimized solutions) are readily available for those of you who want an extra advantage over the competition.
⭐️ It is all about getting you an offer
I don't just teach you how to solve problems, I'll teach you HOW to think about them. You'll make it rain offers when you demonstrate that you can not only think critically and creatively, but also speak intelligently about the problem and clearly vocalize your thought process. Because this is so incredibly critical to your success, I demonstrate these tactics in EVERY lecture of this course. For each problem, I'll explain, step-by-step, the reasoning behind every line of code, possible pitfalls, and possible alternative solutions. I literally cannot make it ANY EASIER than this. All you will have to do during your interview is REPEAT after me, and you will be MILES ahead of 99% of the competition!
After completing the program you will...
Have a clear and concise understanding of how to ACE the software engineering interview
Stop wasting your time by getting repeatedly rejected
Realize that mindlessly doing more LeetCode problems doesn't mean you will get better
Stop relying on "luck" to progress through the interview process.
Employ outcome-oriented strategies to solve problems, rather than foolishly struggling and failing to answer.
And most importantly, successfully land your dream job!
