Free Workshop: Effective LeetCode - The 80/20 guide to using spaced repetition to speed up your LeetCode practice

​LeetCode is the best resource to practice programming interview questions, but with nearly 2500 questions it can be hard to know what to focus on or which order to do them in. On top of this, most people don't repeat the questions in a systematic way to permanently internalize the patterns they learn.

In this free workshop we will cover:
- Using the 80/20 rule to identify a core set of problems, and the best order to do them in.
- Using spaced repetition to spend 95% less time on practicing while retaining what you've learned.

Using the above two concepts you'll come away with a custom Anki deck that simplifies your preparation while reducing the time it takes to practice, while making it fun and easy to practice at a moment's notice.

About me:

​Over my past 5 years as a senior software engineer I have interviewed hundreds of engineers. The difference between a prepared candidate and an unprepared candidate is night and day (and the best candidates get the most offers, giving them leverage to negotiate the best salaries).

​When I finished my PhD in advanced algorithms in Tokyo, I knew that I didn't want to work just anywhere. I also wanted to catch up financially as quickly as possible.

​I spent 6 months grinding LeetCode and doing hundreds of mock and real interviews. I got an amazing job, but I was left feeling burnt out.

​Then I realized that if I use the 80/20 rule and spaced repetition (techniques I learned from studying Japanese) I could get better results with less hassle. And better yet, it was fun.

I've taught algorithms at RMIT university in Melbourne, Hyper Island in Stockholm, and on my website (alexbowe.com), but I've always wanted to run my own course. Now I'm teaching people how to build this habit too, in my course The Perpetually Prepared Programmer.

If you want to focus your practice and reduce your preparation time by months, this workshop is for you.
