Grokking Coding Interview Patterns: New problems & patterns

I am thrilled to share some exciting updates to our flagship Grokking Coding Interview Patterns courses. As you may remember, we recently added an AI-assisted feedback tool to these courses, giving you more personalized feedback. 

Now, as part of our mission to continue providing you with the most complete learning experience, we have enhanced these courses with a wealth of new content.

Gain an edge with hands-on interview prep courses developed by FAANG hiring managers

Here's what's new:

• We have introduced 40 brand-new coding problems, crafted to challenge and sharpen your problem-solving skills
• Out of these 40 new problems:
• 9 problems are centered around two new patterns: Matrices and Graphs
• The remaining 31 problems continue to fortify the original 24 patterns to help you hone your skills with real-world practice

With these updates, the Grokking Coding Interview Patterns courses now contain a comprehensive set of 215 problems and 26 distinct patterns.

The Grokking Coding Interview Patterns courses are designed to be your strategic plan for coding interview preparation.

At the heart of these courses is a pattern-based approach, engineered by hiring managers from leading tech companies like Apple, Google, Meta, Microsoft, and Amazon.

They train you to solve thousands of potential questions you might face in a coding interview, organized around key patterns to make your preparation effective and manageable. And with our new AI-assisted feedback feature, you will receive real-time customized guidance to help you learn from your mistakes.

Our goal is to build your confidence and help you build muscle memory to quickly assess, break down, and solve coding interview problems — no matter how challenging they might be.

These courses are available in five of the industry's most sought-after programming languages. Choose your preferred language and start your journey towards mastering coding interviews:

Why a pattern-based approach to interview prep pays off

In a nutshell, the Grokking Coding Interview Patterns courses are your go-to resource to equip yourself with the essential coding interview patterns and confidently take on any coding interview. Understanding the underlying patterns beneath coding interview problems makes the difference between an average and an outstanding performance.

The good news is that as developers, our strength lies in pattern-matching.

We often subconsciously match new problems with ones we've tackled before, narrowing our solution space to a handful of possibilities. This approach holds true for coding interviews. The catch, however, is that gaining this pattern-matching skill just by drilling practice questions can be challenging and time-consuming. Having spent my fair share of time on LeetCode myself, I can attest to how tedious coding interview prep can be if you are strictly drilling practice sets.

Fortunately, our Grokking Coding Interview Patterns courses provide a more efficient alternative. Why? Because the fundamental patterns remain consistent.

Our courses, developed by FAANG hiring managers, provide you with the framework to quickly identify the patterns, efficiently prepare for your coding interview, and equip you to confidently tackle any problem thrown your way. We also present interactive quizzes to reinforce your learning and a concluding section that invites you to test your newly-acquired skills.

Remember, efficiency is key, both in your prep and during your interview. During my own Amazon interview, I wished I had a framework to help me quickly rule out options and zone in on the right solution. With our Grokking Coding Interview Patterns courses, we've made that wish a reality for you.

Good luck with your interviews — and happy learning!
