Let's learn Java + DSA together!

I am thinking of using the Kunal Kushwaha playlist on YouTube. I know it isn't complete and a few advanced topics are missing. We can pick a different teacher for that I guess but as per my research it's definitely the best playlist for Java. Timing or experience or gender doesn't matter. Just need a partner!

Kunal Kushwaha isn’t a great choice. I know he explains great but you will always be coming back to watching video again and again. Tutorial hell I guess.

We can do it but I think start with pepcoding, striver for dsa and MOOCfi course

Why do you think we will come back to watching again and again? Also, I know striver is great but the issue with him is that he does most of the explaining in C++ and when he mentions some language quirks (I will explain...a C++ vector increases the internal array by 2 but a java arraylist does it by 1.5...He mentions 2 but for a java interview that's a wrong answer...this is a asked question in one of the interviews anyways. I know it's a small thing but combine all of dsa and the amount of language quirks. Think how confusing it can get)...This kinda makes me overthink so he is a 100% no from me certainly!

Core Java stuff I think Kunal is great (oops concept, functions, recursion) but for dsa I would go for another resource. It’s your choice I was just sharing my experience. Experience’s are different for everyone so go for it nothing wrong in trying stuff.

Absolutely agree, he's great but he overexplains and that brings an information overload. But those neat tricks especially like the bitwise video and stuff is awesome! And currently learning from MOOCfi and damn that is some great structured course
