+## על מה מדובר כאן?
+זוהי התוכנית הפעולה אותה הגיתי על מנת להפוך בהצלחה ממפתח אתרים, ללא תואר במדעי המחשב, למהנדס תוכנה בחברת גוגל.   
+![Coding at the whiteboard - from HBO's Silicon Valley](https://dng5l3qzreal6.cloudfront.net/2016/Aug/coding_board_small-1470866369118.jpg)
+
+רשימת המשימות הארוכה המצורפת להלן, הוצאה מקובץ האימון האישי אותו מפרסמת גוגל לעזור למועמדים פוטנציאליים **Google's coaching notes**. לפני שאתם מתחילים במשימה ישנם מספר דברים שעליכם לדעת. 
+ישנם מספר דברים בתחתית הרשימה שמעוד יועילו בהכנה לראיון עצמו לאחר שצלחתם את חומר הלימוד, 
+על מנת לפתור את הבעיות המוצגות בראיון ביעילות.
+
+חלק גדול מהתכנים לקוחים מהאתר המצויין של סטיב יגיי: המשרה הזו בגוגל? שלך!
+"[Get that job at Google](http://steve-yegge.blogspot.com/2008/03/get-that-job-at-google.html)"
+
+ערכתי וקיצרתי עבורכם את מה שלדעתי נדרש עבור מהנדס תוכנה מתחיל עם מעט ניסיון מתוך המקורות הנ"ל.
+עבור אלו מכם הרוצים הסבת מקצוע מפיתוח אתרים או פיתוח תוכנה בתפקידים כאלו ואחרים שאינם הנדסת תוכנה.
+עבור אלו מכם בעלי הניסיון כמהנדסי תוכנה, בייחוד אם ישנן שנות ניסיון רבות כמהנדס תוכנה בתחום, המשימות הנ"ל עלולות להיות קלות מדי והציפיות מהם בראיון לגוגל יהיו הרבה יותר גבוהות. 
+במידה ואתם בעלי מספר שנות ניסיון כמפתחים, גוגל רואה בהנדסת תוכנה משהו שונה מתכנות נטו ולכן הדרישות הן שונות ודבוהות יותר.
+עבור מהנדסי המערכת ומהנדסי האמינות שביניכם, השקיעו יותר בחומר המופיע ב"רשימת הרשות" זוהי רשימת משימות המכילה נושאי רשות עבור מהנדס תוכנה.

+## למה להשתמש בזה?
+
+אני מתכונן לראיון בגוגל תוך כדי יישום תוכנית זו. בניתי את הרשת, בניתי שרותים ברשת, אני בונה ומשיק סטארטאפים מאז 1997.
+יש לי תואר בכלכלה, לא במדעי המחשב. הייתה לי קריירה מוצלחת אבל אני חולם לעבוד בגוגל. 
+אני רוצה להתקדם ולעבוד עם מערכות גדולות יותר ולקבל הבנה מעמירה של מערכות מחשוב, אלגוריתמים יעילים, התנהגות בסיסי נתונים, 
+I'm following this plan to prepare for my Google interview. I've been building the web, building
+services, and launching startups since 1997. I have an economics degree, not a CS degree.  I've
+been very successful in my career, but I want to work at Google. I want to progress into larger systems
+and get a real understanding of computer systems, algorithmic efficiency, data structure performance,
+low-level languages, and how it all works. And if you don't know any of it, Google won't hire you.
+When I started this project, I didn't know a stack from a heap, didn't know Big-O anything, anything about trees, or how to
+traverse a graph. If I had to code a sorting algorithm, I can tell ya it wouldn't have been very good.
+Every data structure I've ever used was built into the language, and I didn't know how they worked
+under the hood at all. I've never had to manage memory unless a process I was running would give an "out of
+memory" error, and then I'd have to find a workaround. I've used a few multidimensional arrays in my life and
+thousands of associative arrays, but I've never created data structures from scratch.
+
+But after going through this study plan I have high confidence I'll be hired. It's a long plan. It's going to take me
+months. If you are familiar with a lot of this already it will take you a lot less time.
+
+## How to use it
+
+Everything below is an outline, and you should tackle the items in order from top to bottom.
+
+I'm using Github's special markdown flavor, including tasks lists to check progress.
+
+- [x] Create a new branch so you can check items like this, just put an x in the brackets: [x]
+
+
+    Fork a branch and follow the commands below
+
+`git checkout -b progress`
+
+`git remote add jwasham https://github.com/jwasham/google-interview-university`
+
+`git fetch --all`
+
+    Mark all boxes with X after you completed your changes
+
+`git add . `
+
+`git commit -m "Marked x" `
+
+`git rebase jwasham/master `
+
+`git push --force `

+## About Video Resources
+
+Some videos are available only by enrolling in a Coursera, EdX, or Lynda.com class. These are called MOOCs.
+Sometimes the classes are not in session so you have to wait a couple of months, so you have no access. Lynda.com courses are not free.
+
+    I'd appreciate your help to add free and always-available public sources, such as YouTube videos to accompany the online course videos.
+    I like using university lectures.

+## Pick One Language for the Interview
+
+I wrote this short article about it: [Important: Pick One Language for the Google Interview](https://googleyasheck.com/important-pick-one-language-for-the-google-interview/)
+
+You can use a language you are comfortable in to do the coding part of the interview, but for Google, these are solid choices:
+
+- C++
+- Java
+- Python
+
+You could also use these, but read around first. There may be caveats:
+
+- JavaScript
+- Ruby
+
+You need to be very comfortable in the language and be knowledgeable.
+
+Read more about choices:
+- http://www.byte-by-byte.com/choose-the-right-language-for-your-coding-interview/
+- http://blog.codingforinterviews.com/best-programming-language-jobs/
+- https://www.quora.com/What-is-the-best-language-to-program-in-for-an-in-person-Google-interview
+
+[See language resources here](programming-language-resources.md)
+
+You'll see some C, C++, and Python learning included below, because I'm learning. There are a few books involved, see the bottom.
+
+## Book List
+
+This is a shorter list than what I used. This is abbreviated to save you time.
+
+### Interview Prep
+
+- [ ] [Programming Interviews Exposed: Secrets to Landing Your Next Job, 2nd Edition](http://www.wiley.com/WileyCDA/WileyTitle/productCd-047012167X.html)
+    - answers in C++ and Java
+    - recommended in Google candidate coaching
+    - this is a good warm-up for Cracking the Coding Interview
+    - not too difficult, most problems may be easier than what you'll see in an interview (from what I've read)
+- [ ] [Cracking the Coding Interview, 6th Edition](http://www.amazon.com/Cracking-Coding-Interview-6th-Programming/dp/0984782850/)
+    - answers in Java
+    - recommended on the [Google Careers site](https://www.google.com/about/careers/how-we-hire/interview/)
+    - If you see people reference "The Google Resume", it was a book replaced by "Cracking the Coding Interview".
+
+If you have tons of extra time:
+
+- [ ] [Elements of Programming Interviews](https://www.amazon.com/Elements-Programming-Interviews-Insiders-Guide/dp/1479274836)
+    - all code is in C++, very good if you're looking to use C++ in your interview
+    - a good book on problem solving in general.
+
+### Computer Architecture
+
+If short on time:
+
+- [ ] [Write Great Code: Volume 1: Understanding the Machine](https://www.amazon.com/Write-Great-Code-Understanding-Machine/dp/1593270038)
+    - The book was published in 2004, and is somewhat outdated, but it's a terrific resource for understanding a computer in brief.
+    - The author invented HLA, so take mentions and examples in HLA with a grain of salt. Not widely used, but decent examples of what assembly looks like.
+    - These chapters are worth the read to give you a nice foundation:
+        - Chapter 2 - Numeric Representation
+        - Chapter 3 - Binary Arithmetic and Bit Operations
+        - Chapter 4 - Floating-Point Representation
+        - Chapter 5 - Character Representation
+        - Chapter 6 - Memory Organization and Access
+        - Chapter 7 - Composite Data Types and Memory Objects
+        - Chapter 9 - CPU Architecture
+        - Chapter 10 - Instruction Set Architecture
+        - Chapter 11 - Memory Architecture and Organization 
+
+If you have more time (I want this book):
+
+- [ ] [Computer Architecture, Fifth Edition: A Quantitative Approach](https://www.amazon.com/dp/012383872X/)
+    - For a richer, more up-to-date (2011), but longer treatment
+
+### Language Specific
+
+**You need to choose a language for the interview (see above).** Here are my recommendations by language. I don't have resources for all languages. I welcome additions.
+
+If you read though one of these, you should have all the data structures and algorithms knowledge you'll need to start doing coding problems. 
+**You can skip all the video lectures in this project**, unless you'd like a review.
+
+[Additional language-specific resources here.](programming-language-resources.md)
+
+### C++
+
+I haven't read these two, but they are highly rated and written by Sedgewick. He's awesome.
+
+- [ ] [Algorithms in C++, Parts 1-4: Fundamentals, Data Structure, Sorting, Searching](https://www.amazon.com/Algorithms-Parts-1-4-Fundamentals-Structure/dp/0201350882/) 
+- [ ] [Algorithms in C++ Part 5: Graph Algorithms](https://www.amazon.com/Algorithms-Part-Graph-3rd-Pt-5/dp/0201361183/)
+
+If you have a better recommendation for C++, please let me know. Looking for a comprehensive resource.
+
+### Java
+
+- [ ] [Algorithms (Sedgewick and Wayne)](https://www.amazon.com/Algorithms-4th-Robert-Sedgewick/dp/032157351X/)
+    - videos with book content (and Sedgewick!):
+        - [Algorithms I](https://www.youtube.com/user/algorithmscourses/playlists?view=50&sort=dd&shelf_id=2)
+        - [Algorithms II](https://www.youtube.com/user/algorithmscourses/playlists?shelf_id=3&view=50&sort=dd)
+
+OR:
+
+- [ ] [Data Structures and Algorithms in Java](https://www.amazon.com/Data-Structures-Algorithms-Michael-Goodrich/dp/1118771338/)
+    - by Goodrich, Tamassia, Goldwasser
+    - used as optional text for CS intro course at UC Berkeley
+    - see my book report on the Python version below. This book covers the same topics.
+
+### Python
+
+- [ ] [Data Structures and Algorithms in Python](https://www.amazon.com/Structures-Algorithms-Python-Michael-Goodrich/dp/1118290275/)
+    - by Goodrich, Tamassia, Goldwasser
+    - I loved this book. It covered everything and more.
+    - Pythonic code
+    - my glowing book report: https://googleyasheck.com/book-report-data-structures-and-algorithms-in-python/
+
+
+### Optional Books
+
+**Some people recommend these, but I think it's going overboard, unless you have many years of software engineering experience and expect a much harder interview:**
+
+- [ ] [Algorithm Design Manual](http://www.amazon.com/Algorithm-Design-Manual-Steven-Skiena/dp/1849967202) (Skiena)
+    - As a review and problem recognition
+    - The algorithm catalog portion is well beyond the scope of difficulty you'll get in an interview.
+    - This book has 2 parts:
+        - class textbook on data structures and algorithms
+            - pros:
+                - is a good review as any algorithms textbook would be
+                - nice stories from his experiences solving problems in industry and academia
+                - code examples in C
+            - cons:
+                - can be as dense or impenetrable as CLRS, and in some cases, CLRS may be a better alternative for some subjects
+                - chapters 7, 8, 9 can be painful to try to follow, as some items are not explained well or require more brain than I have
+                - don't get me wrong: I like Skiena, his teaching style, and mannerisms, but I may not be Stony Brook material.
+        - algorithm catalog:
+            - this is the real reason you buy this book.
+            - about to get to this part. Will update here once I've made my way through it.
+    - To quote Yegge: "More than any other book it helped me understand just how astonishingly commonplace
+        (and important) graph problems are – they should be part of every working programmer's toolkit. The book also
+        covers basic data structures and sorting algorithms, which is a nice bonus. But the gold mine is the second half
+        of the book, which is a sort of encyclopedia of 1-pagers on zillions of useful problems and various ways to solve
+        them, without too much detail. Almost every 1-pager has a simple picture, making it easy to remember. This is a
+        great way to learn how to identify hundreds of problem types."

+    - **Important:** Reading this book will only have limited value. This book is a great review of algorithms and data structures, but won't teach you how to write good code. You have to be able to code a decent solution efficiently.
+    - To quote Yegge: "But if you want to come into your interviews *prepped*, then consider deferring your application until you've made your way through that book."

+
+- [ ] [Programming Pearls](http://www.amazon.com/Programming-Pearls-2nd-Jon-Bentley/dp/0201657880)
+    - The first couple of chapters present clever solutions to programming problems (some very old using data tape) but
+      that is just an intro. This a guidebook on program design and architecture, much like Code Complete, but much shorter.
+
+- ~~"Algorithms and Programming: Problems and Solutions" by Shen~~
+    - A fine book, but after working through problems on several pages I got frustrated with the Pascal, do while loops, 1-indexed arrays, and unclear post-condition satisfaction results. 
+    - Would rather spend time on coding problems from another book or online coding problems.
+
+
+## Before you Get Started
+
+This list grew over many months, and yes, it kind of got out of hand.
+
+Here are some mistakes I made so you'll have a better experience.
+
+### 1. You Won't Remember it All
+
+I watched hours of videos and took copious notes, and months later there was much I didn't remember. I spent 3 days going
+through my notes and making flashcards so I could review.
+
+Read please so you won't make my mistakes:
+
+[Retaining Computer Science Knowledge](https://googleyasheck.com/retaining-computer-science-knowledge/)
+
+### 2. Use Flashcards
+
+To solve the problem, I made a little flashcards site where I could add flashcards of 2 types: general and code.
+Each card has different formatting.
+
+I made a mobile-first website so I could review on my phone and tablet, wherever I am.
+
+Make your own for free:
+
+- [Flashcards site repo](https://github.com/jwasham/computer-science-flash-cards)
+- [My flash cards database](https://github.com/jwasham/computer-science-flash-cards/blob/master/cards-jwasham.db): Keep in mind I went overboard and have cards covering everything from assembly language and Python trivia to machine learning and statistics. It's way too much for what's required by Google.
+
+**Note on flashcards:** The first time you recognize you know the answer, don't mark it as known. You have to see the
+same card and answer it several times correctly before you really know it. Repetition will put that knowledge deeper in
+your brain.
+
+An alternative to using my flashcard site is [Anki](http://ankisrs.net/), which has been recommended to me numerous times. It uses a repetition system to help you remember. 
+It's user-friendly, available on all platforms and has a cloud sync system. It costs $25 on iOS but is free on other platforms.
+
+My flashcard database in Anki format: https://ankiweb.net/shared/info/25173560 (thanks [@xiewenya](https://github.com/xiewenya))
+
+### 3. Review, review, review
+
+I keep a set of cheat sheets on ASCII, OSI stack, Big-O notations, and more. I study them when I have some spare time.
+
+Take a break from programming problems for a half hour and go through your flashcards.
+
+### 4. Focus
+
+There are a lot of distractions that can take up valuable time. Focus and concentration are hard.
+
+## What you won't see covered
+
+This big list all started as a personal to-do list made from Google interview coaching notes. These are prevalent
+technologies but were not mentioned in those notes:
+
+- SQL
+- Javascript
+- HTML, CSS, and other front-end technologies
+
+## The Daily Plan
+
+Some subjects take one day, and some will take multiple days. Some are just learning with nothing to implement.
+
+Each day I take one subject from the list below, watch videos about that subject, and write an implementation in:
+- C - using structs and functions that take a struct * and something else as args.
+- C++ - without using built-in types
+- C++ - using built-in types, like STL's std::list for a linked list
+- Python - using built-in types (to keep practicing Python)
+- and write tests to ensure I'm doing it right, sometimes just using simple assert() statements
+- You may do Java or something else, this is just my thing.
+
+You don't need all these. You need only [one language for the interview](#pick-one-language-for-the-interview).
+
+Why code in all of these?
+- Practice, practice, practice, until I'm sick of it, and can do it with no problem (some have many edge cases and bookkeeping details to remember)
+- Work within the raw constraints (allocating/freeing memory without help of garbage collection (except Python))
+- Make use of built-in types so I have experience using the built-in tools for real-world use (not going to write my own linked list implementation in production)
+
+I may not have time to do all of these for every subject, but I'll try.
+
+You can see my code here:
+ - [C] (https://github.com/jwasham/practice-c)
+ - [C++] (https://github.com/jwasham/practice-cpp)
+ - [Python] (https://github.com/jwasham/practice-python)
+
+You don't need to memorize the guts of every algorithm.
+
+Write code on a whiteboard or paper, not a computer. Test with some sample inputs. Then test it out on a computer.
+
+## Prerequisite Knowledge
+
+- [ ] **Learn C**
+    - C is everywhere. You'll see examples in books, lectures, videos, *everywhere* while you're studying.
+    - [ ] [C Programming Language, Vol 2](https://www.amazon.com/Programming-Language-Brian-W-Kernighan/dp/0131103628)
+        - This is a short book, but it will give you a great handle on the C language and if you practice it a little 
+            you'll quickly get proficient. Understanding C helps you understand how programs and memory work.

+## Data Structures
+
+- ### Arrays
+    - Implement an automatically resizing vector.

+        - [Resizing arrays (video)](https://www.lynda.com/Developer-Programming-Foundations-tutorials/Resizable-arrays/149042/177108-4.html)
+    - [ ] Implement a vector (mutable array with automatic resizing):
+        - [ ] Practice coding using arrays and pointers, and pointer math to jump to an index instead of using indexing.
+        - [ ] new raw data array with allocated memory
+            - can allocate int array under the hood, just not use its features
+            - start with 16, or if starting number is greater, use power of 2 - 16, 32, 64, 128
+        - [ ] size() - number of items
+        - [ ] capacity() - number of items it can hold
+        - [ ] is_empty()
+        - [ ] at(index) - returns item at given index, blows up if index out of bounds
+        - [ ] push(item)
+        - [ ] insert(index, item) - inserts item at index, shifts that index's value and trailing elements to the right
+        - [ ] prepend(item) - can use insert above at index 0
+        - [ ] pop() - remove from end, return value
+        - [ ] delete(index) - delete item at index, shifting all trailing elements left
+        - [ ] remove(item) - looks for value and removes index holding it (even if in multiple places)
+        - [ ] find(item) - looks for value and returns first index with that value, -1 if not found
+        - [ ] resize(new_capacity) // private function
+            - when you reach capacity, resize to double the size
+            - when popping an item, if size is 1/4 of capacity, resize to half
+    - [ ] Time
+        - O(1) to add/remove at end (amortized for allocations for more space), index, or update
+        - O(n) to insert/remove elsewhere
+    - [ ] Space
+        - contiguous in memory, so proximity helps performance
+        - space needed = (array capacity, which is >= n) * size of item, but even if 2n, still O(n)
+
+- ### Linked Lists
+    - [ ] Description:
+        - [ ] [Singly Linked Lists (video)](https://www.coursera.org/learn/data-structures/lecture/kHhgK/singly-linked-lists)

+        - [In The Real World Linked Lists Vs Arrays (video)](https://www.coursera.org/learn/data-structures-optimizing-performance/lecture/QUaUd/in-the-real-world-lists-vs-arrays)
+    - [ ] [why you should avoid linked lists (video)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YQs6IC-vgmo)
+    - [ ] Gotcha: you need pointer to pointer knowledge:
+        (for when you pass a pointer to a function that may change the address where that pointer points)
+        This page is just to get a grasp on ptr to ptr. I don't recommend this list traversal style. Readability and maintainability suffer due to cleverness.
+        - [Pointers to Pointers](https://www.eskimo.com/~scs/cclass/int/sx8.html)
+    - [ ] implement (I did with tail pointer & without):
+        - [ ] size() - returns number of data elements in list
+        - [ ] empty() - bool returns true if empty
+        - [ ] value_at(index) - returns the value of the nth item (starting at 0 for first)
+        - [ ] push_front(value) - adds an item to the front of the list
+        - [ ] pop_front() - remove front item and return its value
+        - [ ] push_back(value) - adds an item at the end
+        - [ ] pop_back() - removes end item and returns its value
+        - [ ] front() - get value of front item
+        - [ ] back() - get value of end item
+        - [ ] insert(index, value) - insert value at index, so current item at that index is pointed to by new item at index
+        - [ ] erase(index) - removes node at given index
+        - [ ] value_n_from_end(n) - returns the value of the node at nth position from the end of the list
+        - [ ] reverse() - reverses the list
+        - [ ] remove_value(value) - removes the first item in the list with this value
+    - [ ] Doubly-linked List
+        - [Description (video)](https://www.coursera.org/learn/data-structures/lecture/jpGKD/doubly-linked-lists)
+        - No need to implement
+
+- ### Stack
+    - [ ] [Stacks (video)](https://www.coursera.org/learn/data-structures/lecture/UdKzQ/stacks)
+    - [ ] [Using Stacks Last-In First-Out (video)](https://www.lynda.com/Developer-Programming-Foundations-tutorials/Using-stacks-last-first-out/149042/177120-4.html)
+    - [ ] Will not implement. Implementing with array is trivial.
+
+- ### Queue
+    - [ ] [Using Queues First-In First-Out(video)](https://www.lynda.com/Developer-Programming-Foundations-tutorials/Using-queues-first-first-out/149042/177122-4.html)
+    - [ ] [Queue (video)](https://www.coursera.org/learn/data-structures/lecture/EShpq/queue)
+    - [ ] [Circular buffer/FIFO](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circular_buffer)
+    - [ ] [Priority Queues (video)](https://www.lynda.com/Developer-Programming-Foundations-tutorials/Priority-queues-deques/149042/177123-4.html)
+    - [ ] Implement using linked-list, with tail pointer:
+        - enqueue(value) - adds value at position at tail
+        - dequeue() - returns value and removes least recently added element (front)
+        - empty()
+    - [ ] Implement using fixed-sized array:
+        - enqueue(value) - adds item at end of available storage
+        - dequeue() - returns value and removes least recently added element
+        - empty()
+        - full()
+    - [ ] Cost:
+        - a bad implementation using linked list where you enqueue at head and dequeue at tail would be O(n)
+            because you'd need the next to last element, causing a full traversal each dequeue
+        - enqueue: O(1) (amortized, linked list and array [probing])
+        - dequeue: O(1) (linked list and array)
+        - empty: O(1) (linked list and array)

+
+Graphs can be used to represent many problems in computer science, so this section is long, like trees and sorting were.
+
+- Notes from Yegge:
+    - There are three basic ways to represent a graph in memory:
+        - objects and pointers
+        - matrix
+        - adjacency list
+    - Familiarize yourself with each representation and its pros & cons
+    - BFS and DFS - know their computational complexity, their tradeoffs, and how to implement them in real code
+    - When asked a question, look for a graph-based solution first, then move on if none.

+## System Design, Scalability, Data Handling
+- **You can expect system design questions if you have 4+ years of experience.**
+- Scalability and System Design are very large topics with many topics and resources, since 
+      there is a lot to consider when designing a software/hardware system that can scale. 
+      Expect to spend quite a bit of time on this.
+- Considerations from Yegge:
+    - scalability
+        - Distill large data sets to single values
+        - Transform one data set to another
+        - Handling obscenely large amounts of data
+    - system design
+        - features sets
+        - interfaces
+        - class hierarchies
+        - designing a system under certain constraints
+        - simplicity and robustness
+        - tradeoffs
+        - performance analysis and optimization

+- [ ] Practicing the system design process: Here are some ideas to try working through on paper, each with some documentation on how it was handled in the real world:
+    - review: [System Design from HiredInTech](http://www.hiredintech.com/system-design/)
+    - [cheat sheet](https://github.com/jwasham/google-interview-university/blob/master/extras/cheat%20sheets/system-design.pdf)
+    - flow:
+        1. Understand the problem and scope:
+            - define the use cases, with interviewer's help
+            - suggest additional features
+            - remove items that interviewer deems out of scope
+            - assume high availability is required, add as a use case
+        2. Think about constraints:
+            - ask how many requests per month
+            - ask how many requests per second (they may volunteer it or make you do the math)
+            - estimate reads vs. writes percentage
+            - keep 80/20 rule in mind when estimating
+            - how much data written per second
+            - total storage required over 5 years
+            - how much data read per second
+        3. Abstract design:
+            - layers (service, data, caching)
+            - infrastructure: load balancing, messaging
+            - rough overview of any key algorithm that drives the service
+            - consider bottlenecks and determine solutions

+## Coding Question Practice
+
+Now that you know all the computer science topics above, it's time to practice answering coding problems.
+
+**Coding question practice is not about memorizing answers to programming problems.**
+
+Why you need to practice doing programming problems:
+- problem recognition, and where the right data structures and algorithms fit in
+- gathering requirements for the problem
+- talking your way through the problem like you will in the interview
+- coding on a whiteboard or paper, not a computer
+- coming up with time and space complexity for your solutions
+- testing your solutions
+
+There is a great intro for methodical, communicative problem solving in an interview. You'll get this from the programming
+interview books, too, but I found this outstanding:
+[Algorithm design canvas](http://www.hiredintech.com/algorithm-design/)
+
+[My Process for Coding Interview (Book) Exercises](https://googleyasheck.com/my-process-for-coding-interview-exercises/)
+
+No whiteboard at home? That makes sense. I'm a weirdo and have a big whiteboard. Instead of a whiteboard, pick up a
+large drawing pad from an art store. You can sit on the couch and practice. This is my "sofa whiteboard".
+I added the pen in the photo for scale. If you use a pen, you'll wish you could erase. Gets messy quick.

+
+
+## Be thinking of for when the interview comes
+
+Think of about 20 interview questions you'll get, along with the lines of the items below. Have 2-3 answers for each.
+Have a story, not just data, about something you accomplished.
+
+- Why do you want this job?
+- What's a tough problem you've solved?
+- Biggest challenges faced?
+- Best/worst designs seen?
+- Ideas for improving an existing Google product.
+- How do you work best, as an individual and as part of a team?
+- Which of your skills or experiences would be assets in the role and why?
+- What did you most enjoy at [job x / project y]?
+- What was the biggest challenge you faced at [job x / project y]?
+- What was the hardest bug you faced at [job x / project y]?
+- What did you learn at [job x / project y]?
+- What would you have done better at [job x / project y]?
+
+## Have questions for the interviewer
+
+    Some of mine (I already may know answer to but want their opinion or team perspective):
+
+- How large is your team?
+- What does your dev cycle look like? Do you do waterfall/sprints/agile?
+- Are rushes to deadlines common? Or is there flexibility?
+- How are decisions made in your team?
+- How many meetings do you have per week?
+- Do you feel your work environment helps you concentrate?
+- What are you working on?
+- What do you like about it?
+- What is the work life like?
+
+## Once You've Got The Job
+
+Congratulations!

+    - This subject can be pretty difficult, as each DP soluble problem must be defined as a recursion relation, and coming up with it can be tricky.
+    - I suggest looking at many examples of DP problems until you have a solid understanding of the pattern involved.

+- ### Balanced search trees
+    - Know least one type of balanced binary tree (and know how it's implemented):
+    - "Among balanced search trees, AVL and 2/3 trees are now passé, and red-black trees seem to be more popular.
+        A particularly interesting self-organizing data structure is the splay tree, which uses rotations
+        to move any accessed key to the root." - Skiena
+    - Of these, I chose to implement a splay tree. From what I've read, you won't implement a
+        balanced search tree in your interview. But I wanted exposure to coding one up
+        and let's face it, splay trees are the bee's knees. I did read a lot of red-black tree code.
+        - splay tree: insert, search, delete functions
+        If you end up implementing red/black tree try just these:
+        - search and insertion functions, skipping delete
+    - I want to learn more about B-Tree since it's used so widely with very large data sets.

+        - In practice:
+            From what I can tell, these aren't used much in practice, but I could see where they would be:
+            The AVL tree is another structure supporting O(log n) search, insertion, and removal. It is more rigidly
+            balanced than red–black trees, leading to slower insertion and removal but faster retrieval. This makes it
+            attractive for data structures that may be built once and loaded without reconstruction, such as language
+            dictionaries (or program dictionaries, such as the opcodes of an assembler or interpreter).

+    - [ ] **Splay trees**
+        - In practice:
+            Splay trees are typically used in the implementation of caches, memory allocators, routers, garbage collectors,
+            data compression, ropes (replacement of string used for long text strings), in Windows NT (in the virtual memory,
+            networking and file system code) etc.

+
+    - [ ] **Red/black trees**
+        - these are a translation of a 2-3 tree (see below)
+        - In practice:
+            Red–black trees offer worst-case guarantees for insertion time, deletion time, and search time.
+            Not only does this make them valuable in time-sensitive applications such as real-time applications,
+            but it makes them valuable building blocks in other data structures which provide worst-case guarantees;
+            for example, many data structures used in computational geometry can be based on red–black trees, and
+            the Completely Fair Scheduler used in current Linux kernels uses red–black trees. In the version 8 of Java,
+            the Collection HashMap has been modified such that instead of using a LinkedList to store identical elements with poor
+            hashcodes, a Red-Black tree is used.

+    - [ ] **2-3 search trees**
+        - In practice:
+            2-3 trees have faster inserts at the expense of slower searches (since height is more compared to AVL trees).
+        - You would use 2-3 tree very rarely because its implementation involves different types of nodes. Instead, people use Red Black trees.

+
+    - [ ] **2-3-4 Trees (aka 2-4 trees)**
+        - In practice:
+            For every 2-4 tree, there are corresponding red–black trees with data elements in the same order. The insertion and deletion
+            operations on 2-4 trees are also equivalent to color-flipping and rotations in red–black trees. This makes 2-4 trees an
+            important tool for understanding the logic behind red–black trees, and this is why many introductory algorithm texts introduce
+            2-4 trees just before red–black trees, even though **2-4 trees are not often used in practice**.

+        - fun fact: it's a mystery, but the B could stand for Boeing, Balanced, or Bayer (co-inventor)
+        - In Practice:
+            B-Trees are widely used in databases. Most modern filesystems use B-trees (or Variants). In addition to
+            its use in databases, the B-tree is also used in filesystems to allow quick random access to an arbitrary
+            block in a particular file. The basic problem is turning the file block i address into a disk block
+            (or perhaps to a cylinder-head-sector) address.
