riti2409/resources-for-preparation-of-placements

This repository is a curated list of free YouTube video links and online resources for anyone preparing for software engineering job placements and technical interviews. It does not contain code or tutorials of its own, instead it points to existing playlists and courses made by well-known instructors. The collection is organized by topic and by programming language. For C, C++, Java, and Python there are links to beginner programming courses as well as data structures and algorithms playlists. The data structures covered include arrays, strings, binary search, dynamic programming, stacks, queues, heaps, sliding window techniques, recursion, backtracking, trees, graphs, linked lists, tries, segment trees, and hashing. Several of these topics have multiple playlist options from different instructors so you can pick the teaching style you prefer. Beyond algorithms, the repository also links to resources on computer science fundamentals that commonly come up in placement interviews: database management systems, operating systems, computer networks, object-oriented programming, theory of computation, and software engineering. There are also system design resources, covering both high-level architectural thinking and low-level design practice, with references to widely read books like System Design Interview by Alex Xu and Designing Data-Intensive Applications. At the end there are links to placement-focused series from popular educators, curated problem sheets for DSA and CS theory subjects, project ideas in web development, data science and machine learning, and a few GitHub repositories with coding interview patterns. The repository is open for community contributions. Anyone can add more links to extend the list.
