The document discusses how to get started with coding and data structures and algorithms (DSA). It recommends choosing a programming language like C, C++, Java, or Python to begin with. The major topics to learn include data types, variables, input/output operations, operators, and conditional statements. DSA involves organizing data structures like arrays, linked lists, stacks and queues to solve problems efficiently. Mastering common DSA topics and practicing regularly is important to improve coding skills. The document encourages interacting on Slack to ask questions and explore coding further.

2. Interact As much As Possible

3. We Will discuss…..
● How to begin
● Which Language
● Basic topics to learn
● What is DSA?
● Why DSA?
● Intro to coding Platforms
● DSA and Development
● Q&A

4. Steps to Follow
1. Choose A Programming Language
2. Data Structure and Algorithms
3. Be Consistent and Keep Practicing
4. Explore Different Fields & Build Projects

5. Difficult to choose a language
Still, major options from which a first year
students should choose are C, C++, Java, Python.
Major point is that one can start with any language in
The beginning if he/she does not know in which field
he/she will be going.
Once someone gets comfortable with the basic programming logics
of one language it is much easier to learn a new language.

6. Major topic to Learn
After selecting a Programming language one will have to learn the following
topics
★ Data Types like int,float,double,string,arrays,etc.
★ Variables
★ Input/ output operations
★ Operators
★ Conditional and Control Statements
★ Functions
★ Classes and OOPS
★ Exception Handling

7. What is DSA?

8. Data Structures
A data structure is a particular way of organizing data in a computer so that it
can be used effectively.
● we can store a list of items having the same data-type using the array data
structure .

9. ● Web pages can be accessed using the previous and the next URL links
which are linked using linked list.
● Facebook, Instagram and all social media networking sites consider every
user as a Node .

10. Algorithm
An algorithm is a set of instructions designed to perform a specific task.

11. Selection Sort

12. Why DSA?

13. In order to be irreplaceable, one must always be
efficient.
That’s what DSA does

14. ● Companies place so much emphasis on Data
Structures and Algorithms.
● To Solve Some Real World Complex Problems

15. Major DSA Topics
● Arrays
● Strings
● Linked List
● Stack
● Queue
● Trees
● Graphs
● Hashing
● Recursion
● Dynamic Programming
● Backtracking
● more…………….
