<div dir="ltr">Dearest LRUGgers & LRUGgettes,<div><br></div><div>I'm thinking of putting together a talk on how learning data structures and algorithms can help you do the computers better. It would likely look something like this:</div>
<div><br></div><div>* Why you should bother learning about them at all, especially if like many you feel as though you'd never use them in your day job.</div><div>* Walk-throughs of examples, both interesting insights on workaday ones you're probably familiar with and other perhaps more fruitylicious constructs you may not have heard of.</div>
<div>* Practical tips for learning them and putting them to work when you're at the coalface building software for the man.</div><div><span style="font-family:arial"><br></span></div><div><span style="font-family:arial">Scouts honour: I'm going to avoid the well trodden ground of searching/sorting algorithms and big O notation that half of us have forgotten from our CS courses and just focus on practical utility and fun examples of things I've discovered on spelunking expeditions.</span><br>
</div><div><br></div><div>Would there be any interest in such a talk?</div><div><br></div><div>-Ali</div></div>
