The Optimal Learning Roadmap

Now that you’ve read why patterns are the best way to learn, let’s go over the optimal way to go through AlgoMonster.

On the sidebar, you’ll see that you’re currently in the “Getting Started” section. Following this, each section in AlgoMonster covers a unique pattern, carefully designed to build upon the previous one, ensuring a logical and progressive learning experience.

Follow the Optimal Order

To maximize your learning, we strongly recommend completing the sections in order. Each section is arranged so that fundamental concepts come first, making it easier to understand and apply more advanced patterns later. We’ve had thousands of students go through this, and we’ve optimized the learning pathway to be as seamless as possible.

Even if you’ve learned some of the content in the past, we recommend going through everything from the beginning. The reason is that the majority of other learning resources online can miss fundamental things that you need to know, and the best way to ensure you never get stuck is to follow our path.

How You Will Learn

Within each section, there are multiple concepts to learn. You will follow a structured learning approach for these concepts:

1. Learn the Concept: First, the concept will be introduced, with both theory and practical techniques to help you truly understand it.
2. Apply the Concept: Then, immediately reinforce your understanding of the concept by solving focused practice problems for this concept.

Once you've completed all the concepts in a section, it's time to put everything into practice with a real-world coding interview problem. These problems are carefully curated from our AlgoMonster 50 Problem List, which consists of the most common and impactful interview questions seen in actual job interviews.

Bringing It All Together

By following this roadmap, you will:

• Understand key patterns that interview problems follow
• Master each pattern by actively applying the concepts
• Solve real interview problems that reflect what top companies ask

By the end of this roadmap, you’ll have all the knowledge necessary to tackle any coding interview confidently. While practice is always key, AlgoMonster accelerates your learning process so that what typically takes months to master, can be achieved in just weeks.

Now, let’s take a look at what we’re really preparing for - coding interviews.
