Having a solid understanding of data structures is on top of my todo list. I’ve looked on Coursera and other resources such as blogs and stackoverflow, but I find them either not comprehensive enough or at the other end of the spectrum, too dense with prerequisite computer science terminologies.
I’ve stumbled upon the mycodeschool **channel on youtube.

They have a comprehensive video series on data structures. Don’t mind the silly drawings, or the slight accent at all. He is a great teacher! Some of the topics covered are:
- pros and cons of the common data structures
- why each data structure exist
- how it actually work in the memory
- specific questions/exercises and deciding which structure to use for maximum efficiency
- lucid Big 0 explanation
This is definitely a shout out to these guys at the mycodeschool for keeping it open source.
Here is a screen shot.

I’ve also post meticulous lecture notes on github in markdown for those who prefer to read than watch lectures:
