## ⚠️ Maintenance status

**Nowadays I don't have much time to maintain this project anymore.**

I started the project when preparing for coding interviews when graduating.
If this is your goal, too, then **there might be better resources in 2021** to prepare
for that. Here are some books that I recommend to friends who are looking to
build a solid foundation.


[Cracking the Coding Interview](https://amzn.to/3nl7GNt) by Gayle Laakmann McDowell is a classic, which covers most of the questions that get typically asked in FAANG interviews like array and string manipulations, sorting, and searching.

[System Design Interview](https://amzn.to/3ewOVCO) by Alex Xu is more focused on typical software architecture questions, e.g. back-of-the-envelope estimations as well as making services performant and fault tolerant.

_Note: These are Amazon affiliate links and I get a small commission if you end up buying a book. This helps me work on OSS in my free time._

These books in combination should give a good overview of what to expect in a typical interview situation. The repository can still serve as a nice companion while working through the chapters from the books.
