Preparing for technical interviews? Join us to learn more about two topics that will help you land that next job!

== Formulas for Technical Solutions ==
We spend hours going through Leetcode or HackerRank questions writing code, optimizing, and picking through edge cases in our solutions to sharpen our skills breaking down and solving technical problems. However, solving technical problems isn't just about writing code. Effective communication is key to showing your knowledge of your solution and displaying how well you will work with others on the job. In this lighting talk, we will go through a set of steps to boost your communication skills in a technical interview.

== Implementing Priority Queues with Heaps ==
When we think of priority queues, we often think of a linear list structure where the high priority item is at one end and the low priority item is at the other. Unfortunately, operations on this type of structure are not optimal and this isn't how most languages implement priority queues. In this talk, we'll go over what heaps are and how they are used to implement priority queues.

CODE OF CONDUCT

Women Who Code (WWCode) is dedicated to providing an empowering experience for everyone who participates in or supports our community. Our events are intended to inspire women to excel in technology careers, and anyone who is there for this purpose is welcome. Because we value the safety and security of our members and strive to have an inclusive community, we do not tolerate harassment of members or event participants in any form. The Code of Conduct was created to clearly define what we mean by a harassment-free experience, so that our community and those who support it are clear about our intent and have access to procedures for addressing issues, should they arise.
