Algorithms by OrbitalRX

DESCRIPTION:

This is a monthly meetup for coders at all levels to collaboratively whiteboard and solve algorithm questions! Laptops are not required! You will work in small groups in your preferred language. We will have a set of algorithm problems like ones you’ll find on code challenge sites, at varying difficulty levels.

Beginners Welcome! If you want to attend but aren’t sure where to start, we will have a beginners break-out session to introduce algorithms and programmatic problem solving. We encourage you to work with a group on solving problems, it’s a great opportunity to learn through hands-on practice with your peers.

This is a NEW Meetup starting 6/2 so we don’t have any example problems up yet, but you can expect 4-6 problems addressing a particular pattern or skill (sorting, filtering, recursion), along the lines of problems you might find on sites like HackerRank, CodeWars, or LeetCode.

Please RSVP for headcount!

SCHEDULE:

6:30 Sign in, snacks, and light shmoozing
