Description

Build a strong foundation in competitive programming basics with this in-depth course featuring practical demos and actionable strategies.

What this course covers: Competitive Programming Basics works through Java, Go and Rust fundamentals, unit testing and test-driven development, Git branching and code review and problem-solving for coding interviews.

Skills you will build: testing code with confidence, collaborating through Git and writing maintainable code.

Practical applications: day-to-day engineering work, technical interviews and scaling codebases in teams.

Who should take this course: students and developers who want to write better code and grow as engineers. No prior experience is needed — the course starts from the basics.

Learning outcomes: by the end of the course you should be able to apply Java, Go and Rust fundamentals and testing code with confidence to your own work or projects, and know which areas to practise next.

Requirements

  I joined to get better at writing maintainable code. The practical exercises on Git branching and code review were exactly what I needed. TDD finally made sense once I saw it applied to a small real feature.

  Bhavna S. ★★★★★ 5.0/5 Sample review

  Clear structure from unit testing and test-driven development through to Git branching and code review. I'd like a few more practice tasks, but overall very useful. The refactoring examples changed how I write code at work.

  Madhuri I. ★★★★★ 5.0/5 Sample review

  Well organised. Revisiting the unit testing and test-driven development part a second time really helped it click. Practising the algorithm patterns made interview questions far less scary.
