Should I keep investing into data structures and algorithms?
- by Chiron
These days, I'm investing heavily in data structures and algorithms and trying to solve some programming puzzles.
I'm trying to code and solve with Java and Clojure.
Am I wasting my time? should I invest more in technologies and frameworks that I already know in order to gain deeper knowledge (the ins and the outs) and be able to code with them more quickly?
By studying data structures and algorithms, am I going to become a better programmer or those subjects are only important during college years?
