Algorithms Quick course review: Distributed Systems by Dr. Martin Kleppmann I recently finished watching a tremendous free distributed systems course. The lecturer is a famous Dr. Martin Kleppmann who wrote a well-known book with the red wild boar cover 😄 This course includes 8 lectures split into 23 videos: 1. Introduction 2. Models of distributed systems 3. Time, clocks, and ordering
Books Book review – Fundamentals of Software Architecture: An Engineering Approach I recently finished reading the book I've heard a lot of. Both authors are well-known Software Architects with dozen years of experience. Mark Richards, for example, runs great bi-weekly Software Architecture Monday lessons. I want to share my opinion about this book, save some notes I made, and explain why
Books My 2023 Reading List Motivation and Selection 2022 was a really tough year so I read only 11 books 😞 This year (2023) I decided to create a reading plan in advance and track my progress every week. This list includes nonfiction, sci-fi, classics, and tech books. All of them were recommended by my friends
News Hello, world! 👋 I'm Dmitry, a Software Engineer with an entrepreneurial mindset. I'm going to share here my thoughts, plans, ideas, and everything I'll find interesting. Stay tuned!
Algorithms Asymptotic notation of algorithms: memo Algorithm complexity Definition The growth rate big O T(x)=O(g(x)) The growth rate of f(x) is asymptotically less than or equal to (<=) the growth rate of g(x) little o T(x)=o(g(x)) The growth rate of f(x) is asymptotically less than (<) the
Algorithms Sorting Algorithms Hi! As I mentioned earlier, I decided to recall some fundamental knowledge. In this article, I'd like to share with you the difference between sorting algorithms. I know, that it can be very simple, but how many times do you think about it? We all use it very often (for
Algorithms Union-Find algorithms in Ruby It’s always interesting to learn something new, especially if it’s fundamental knowledge. Recently I have found a very interesting course about algorithms. Lectures are meaningful and practical. I recommend them to everyone who wants to understand basic algorithms. All algorithms are implemented in Java, but I decided to
Interview Five programming problems every Software Engineer should be able to solve in less than 1 hour I have found an interesting post about interviewing recently. Actually, I don’t really like this categorical approach. But there are my solutions have been written in Ruby. Problem 1 Write three functions that compute the sum of the numbers in a given list using a for-loop, a while-loop, and
